I was scrolling through the menu in my GT2 this morning and noted my 10 best 0-60 times.They were all done in favorable weather conditions(less than 65F and low humidity).
1-4.78
2-4.80
3-4.82
4-4.85
5-4.88
6-4.89
7-4.90
8-4.90
9-4.90
10-4.90
I know I had at least another 10 in the 4.90's.I checked the GT2 against the drag strip timing at Maplegrove raceway and in 5 runs every measured point was less than .1 sec difference than the drag strip timer.Even if I add in the differences I saw at the drag strip,all 10 runs are still under 5 seconds.I tried to look at my best 1/4 times but my brain malfunctioned and I cleared them by accident.I do remember that my best recorded 1/4 was 13.25.Unfortunately the traction at the drag strip was not good enough for me to equal these times.I hope to try again with new ps2 tires next year.

Simply wow...

wow, that's impressive indeed. :cool: it's great to see what the car's true capabilities are when in the proper hands (unlike me! :thumbsdown: ). sounds like you really nailed all aspects of this speed event, including optimum launch technique, vehicle weight, environmental conditions, etc, necessary to generate these superb and consistent sub-5 sec times. again, congrats and way to go! :D BEST REGARDS

4.78

For me is an impossible result, on 0-60 MPH/0-100 KMH, but my car, on the road, goes more than your .
(Steptronic eats 15 BHP more than manual/SMG transmission, 60 vs 45 HP)

Anyway, 0-100 is not the gospel or the bible : on highways or on the track I don't do 0-100 ...

PS :
Congrats for your time, in any case .. :thumbsup:

Thanks to all for the kind words.I did work at it to get my times down.For now I am done testing,but with new ps2's and maybe some air filter tricks and removal of the spare,who knows!!!!
