Hi g-man. I assume, and hope, that all is well with you. You do still have your 545i, right? Why did you part with the hemi?
No I had not considered the possibility. But, before 20.01.00, I had lots of wheel spin when my first set of PS2's was both new and later after being used for quite a while. Then, when I got the new ones, around the time my update to 20.01.00 occurred, I had essentially no wheel spin when new or later. So, I accidentally had a pretty tightly controlled experiment that implies lots of wheel spin on new to used PS2's before 20.01.00 and essentially no wheelspin after 20.01.00 on new to used PS2's.

..............N................S
0-60 5.85...........6.25
1/8...T...9.23...........9.45
1/8...S...76.8...........73.4
Not bad for an economy SUV,Will translate to mid 14's in the 1/4.
I should have known you would have thought of the tire issue.It was too simple an explanation for someone of your expertise.You are probably correct in assuming that your controls are not fully disengaged.Also I did make 1 more run with my 545 this past monday.I didn't log all the data,but here are the particulars:
60'........1.95
330'......5.69
1/8..T....8.69
1/8..S...82.8
1/4..T...13.35
1/4..S...106.0
Temp.....68F
Dew.......57F
Bar.........29.98
Hum.......63%
Alt.........400'
This was with a no wheelspin start.I think these are pretty good numbers with these weather conditions.Could you please apply correction factor.

Hi Zman,everything is fine with me and I still have my 545.With the weather in the northeast in the winter I feel I need a SUV.Although I can afford a X5,its too nice a car to slog through ice,snow and mud.Therefore I always have a less luxurios SUV for the bad weather.Since 1993 this was always a jeep grand cherokee V8,the latest being a 2005 hemi.All of my vehicles must perform,which the hemi did(6.05 0-60,14.45 @94mph in1/4),but the mileage was atrocious(14 mpg overall,max 17 on the highway).I read a report in MT on the new RAV4 and was impressed(0-60 6.3,14.9 1/4) with mileage from 21 to 28.After a test drive I bought the RAV.I have not been disappointed.So far I am averaging about 23.5 mpg,but the best part is performance.I have only made 2 runs at my old test site(slight grade) and got the following #s.

You have set a mega world record. As I recall, this pass is the first one where your density altitude has been above your actual altitude and, thus, your results improve when adjusted. Way to go!!!

My adjusted best pales by comparison--13.37 @ 106.4. Do you know your 0-60 and 0-100? I'll be back later, and I'll post your results to the "Straight-Line" thread soon.

I intended to go to the drag strip on june 2 but is was raining and hot.I still want to go at least one more time,but the weather conditions must be right.Looking for about 60 degrees,low dew point ,barometer about 30.Probably not until early fall.

.... I don't know why but my car doesn't seem to be affected by weather until the conditions hit a certain tip point.Somewhere about 80F with 70's dew point.My data from last year before we were considering weather looks good until the temp gets over 70's. .... I think the biggest improvement in my times in the last 6 months is due to the zero wheelspin starts .One theory on the affect of weather could be that our cars compensate for weather to a point but cannot compensate for a broad range of conditions.What do you think Zman? ....
Also, you know that I have been a fan of zero wheel-spin starts for a long time--or maybe just the smallest possible amount of wheel spin. It seems to me that I get bad results every time my wheel spin is noticeable to all but the smallest degree. And, I do recall the pass you igrnored as bogus once before. I am glad that it was not.
