No way an intake and exhaust made that big of difference. I'd ask if they did that going down a very steep hill.

Just for reference, the Z06 with nearly 200 more horsepower and bigger rear tires is at a claimed 2.95 seconds.

The PDR although good, will never be as accurate as a professional GPS box. I have a vbox and although it set me back about $600, it give dead on times over and over without car error or speedometer errors or slight miscalibration that the PDR is prone to. His numbers alone prove that the card PDR is not totally accurate and is prone to error.

I kinda feel sorry for the guy. Here he innocently posts his PDR time, not realizing the OCD response he's going to get, nor perhaps even the existence of "more precise" devices, and you jump all over him. He's not trying to get in the Guiness book of records. He's just saying, "Hey, guys! Look at this!"

He hasn't posted much. This is an Ugly American response. I'm ashamed of it. I doubt he'll post again. Nobody needs this kind of abuse.

Not sure how were bashing him or how this is even close to being defined as abuse. Just pointing out how his number is not accurate and how to get accurate numbers. But ok man.

I haven't tried the timer on mine yet, but I assume you can simply wheel spin to a crazy low number?
