Default 0-60 timer




My best time so far. Tried it with track mode and traction control off. 7sp manual with a&a kit on factory tires. Wheel spin is hard to avoid

Yikes Stock car is in the same range. Traction is just tough out of the hole. Now here is a good test: 40-100 MPH. Lots of us getting 6 seconds or less. E85 guys running low 5's.

BTW, I ran an A & A on my 2007 and loved it!!! No traction from scratch but once it hooked holy hannah

I know stock ones run that but this is a real challenge with the stock rubber. I assume the manual guys leave in 2nd gear for the 40-100 test? I will try this next!

It's tough to do much better than that on stock tires.

That's a lot harder than it sounds, especially with the M7 and a crapload of power, even on drag radials - trust me.

My bone stock 15 convertible is basically traction limited in 1st already so the limitation to 0-60 is not power, it's tires.

Best I could get with stock tires was 4.2 s in three tries.

With some other tires I was able to get 3.6 s on the third attempt.

I don't know how you did it but I couldn't get that screen or the 0-60 timer to start.

You will find it under the performance screen..not info, nav, audio etc. Once you find the timer you can select a start speed and an ending speed. The reset button will be your friend!

Dumb question for the night.

Is the timing on the PDR connected to the timer on the instruments?

I got a time of 3.60 (0-60) on the PDR on a 0-75 mph sprint, would this be the same as the other timer? If it's not the same, would one be more accurate than the other?
