0-100 I got 9.6 but I missed 3rd gear. Had to hurry and put it back in 3rd. I need to try again and make a good shift into 3rd.

I did 4.4, 2000 rpm and dumped it, no wheel spin, just took off (this was over the summer, on a pretty warm day, road was sticky i guess!)

I looked at the PDR data after and this was a 3.9s 0-60. A8, some mud and gravel on the tires, but a warm sunny day though.

It's on all cars. Check your owners manual for operation.

Early 2016s had a software error which keeps the timer from showing up. There is a TSB telling th dealer how to update the software to include the performance timer.

With that build date, you need the update. Mine was a bit after yours and needed it.
