Congrats on your results. That 0-60 under 5.0 results are very admirable.

If I can impose upon you again would you be so kind as to list your brake torque again? Are you using the hand/parking brake?
Also I'm about to schedule a service appointment to correct the issues I've been experiencing since CIP update 22.01. Do you think I should wait until 23.0? to do some runs?
Thanks much,
T.

My GT2 timer just arrived in the mail. I bought it off ebay. Brand new in the package for $95 plus $10 shipping. Seemed like a great deal. There are still more for sale. Here is the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Escort-G-Ti...1QQcmdZViewItem
Any advice on setting it up? I searched and found these settings:
Rollout: 12"
Pitch: 1.9
Drivetrain loss: 0.20
Rolling Resistence: 0.13
Aero drag: 6.5
Are these the appropriate ones to use?
Thanks

I took the time to read the manual once b/c I thought I needed to make adjustments to get a faster time. Apparently, the way it came applies to most cars including our e60s.

0-60: 5.23 sec
