Holy %&$@!!! That is BIG time whether or not that timer is 100% accurate. I am jealous. That is a full second faster than I will ever see up here in the MileHigh city. There are so few cars that fast to 60mph and extra props to you for managing that with a 6Spd. You are so much cooler than if you had done that with an A8. Cheers to you.

Tried 0-60 timer for first time in my A8 with about 10000 miles and got a best result of 4.5 seconds. Want to see if I could better my time because I did this with another person in car and luggage in the trunk.

And like I said, conditions were close to perfect. Cool, dense air, close to sea level, etc. And the touch required to back it up consistently is VERY elusive. I made several more attempts that night, but the best I could do was a 3.9 and a 4.0, with plenty of 4.5s in between. |

I use the same technique you do. I don't use launch control at all. |

Bad ass.
I still think about how rare and expensive and usually un-streetable it was back in the day to see a car that could turn in a 11.20 on street tires. The cut-off point for practical street cars was about 13 seconds. Anything that went faster than that was sacrificing comfort, reliability, ride quality, practicality, probably safety and a lot of cash. And now, here we are. Pretty freaking amazing. |

I heard those stories so many times in the 80's and 90's from guys telling me my Mustangs, Camaros and Corvettes were "not fast". I think most of those guys have died or changed their tune these days as I haven't heard that stuff since the mid-90's. Most of the now older guys give me nothing but compliments on my 1LE and my Z06. Getting gas often becomes a 30 minute ordeal and a mini-car show/review, but I am always happy to oblige for anyone that is really interested in the cars.. |
