Okay so this one was on the stretch from the light at Mountview & Nevada past Winters & Nevada

It is completely flat. AC was charged fully 1-2 minutes prior to video. ~85 degrees.

Completely stock. In Colorado Springs colorado ~6-6.5k feet

9-10.5 seconds

I timed it on a 35 degree day when I first got it at 7.5-8.5

 

Btw this was with zero launch at all. I don't like being hard on my AUTO

 

did you have traction control FULLY OFF?

 

No. Like I said I had a lot going to my disadvantage and the grade was a little of a disadvantage if anything.

To me though it says something about the car, it can still do a pretty decent run even when the elements aren't in its favor.

More info:

91 octane gas with non-synthetic 5w-20 going to make the switch to royal purp 10w-30 synthetic next oil change

18" wheels
DSC On
No traction control

AC was charged fully but not on.
No launch of any sort, started completely from a roll.

 

here is a run in my 6mt .... 0-60 of 6.39 is one of my slower runs

here is one of the revcounter with a gentle launch to compare with yours

I don't have a mt...

 

If DSC is on, so is traction control. You need to hold down the DSC button for 7 seconds to fully turn it off. When done correctly, you will see a swervy car on your dash.

 

honestly whats the point of posting that? I realize my car cant come close to a 14.5 sec 1/4 without FI

 

thank you! I wasn't sure. I'm not ashamed of this run at all. Like I said bone stock, colorado springs colorado, 85 degree day, auto transmission

you do the math!

 

wtf? you made a suggestion and I posted it . Or was it supposed to be only for autos launched in the slowest way possible ?

 

lol well how else am I supposed to launch? also with the traction control off for the first time I can totally feel a difference. sorry wasnt tryin to be hostile lol...i apologize

i thought u were just rubbing it in my face how much faster mt is than at, and my response is: I know! =P

 

Someone posted how to launch an auto in the other thread of the same title .
I was just concerned we'd get a whole lot of people posting their 10 second+ 0-60videos and end up the laughing stock of the automotive world .....

 

**** well Ill prove them wrong with a 2.2k rpm brake AUTO LAUNCH!!!1!1

Take that! haha

but ya bro no hostility here sorry for the reaction lol

But anyways I finally turned my Traction and DSC completely off, and tried the launch and wow...I bet it could take 2-3 secs off that no problem.

 

lmao i just realized the song that started playing as soon as I hit the gas in that video. rofl

 

well see now i gotta prove myself so imma take a video with the flat stretch ahead of me, and do the little launch maneuever with traction all the way off. Man I'll be happy with anything under 9!

 

nice vid - there was a bit of a delay after you shifted to second? what happened? was it in D? did you let off the gas? Just curious because whenever i shift, it immediately drops back down.

I think your vid proves there may be something is up with an 11.8 0-60.

p.s. - making the switch to RP 10w-30 will give a very slight push in the upper rpm's - i was using mobil-1 full-syn prior so if you're using conventional i can't really say what kind of differences you'll feel. Just giving you a review since you were interested in swapping fluids

 

I believe you can launch up to 3k. anything above that, the rev limiter will kick in.

ps. you have traction control?? lucky... wish my AT came with that...

 

Haha ya I don't think 11.8 should ever be considered the norm with this car.

Like I said, Imma try it with my next oil change, with a full tank of 91 with some octane booster.

I'll record the flat stretch in front of me, and do it when the temp is at least under 60.

Like I said, with the launch, and the tractions all off, I have no problem believing I could do it in 7-9 seconds consistently. I'm happy with that!

 

haha is traction a good thing with this car? =P

but ya for some reason I cant go past 2.2k when I do the brake launch, but I can totally feel the difference in my seat.

I dunno. I didn't buy the car to be fast at all. For one i would've gotten the MS6 I test drove instead, if that was what my decision was based around, lol. I just like the cars styling, its handling, braking, etc.

And honestly a thread about a 11.8 0-60 on a AT got me thinking. To me, my car didn't feel that slow, and I guess I was right.

 

The Tq Stall limit is 2300 rpm.

 

He over revved first and that caused the pause you saw before shifting to second. Just slightly quicker on the shifter and it should not have done that.

 

i did 7.8 seconds with automatic mode via AP
and 9.8 seconds with manual mode via AP (both with brake and launch)
not to mention i am a 6 port AT.

 

yea see thats what I was hopin. The "norm" for the AT should be 7.5-9.5 seconds tbh with you.

this just doesn't seem right. i thought the 4ports were a bit quicker than this.

 

my 6spd AT got 8 secs 0-60
