0 - 60 disappointed

FatboyStew · 09-12-2016, 07:38 PM

I have a 2lt and am pretty disappointedin my 0 -60 times. According to the performance timer, the best I havemanaged was 6.1. I wasn't expecting 5.1, but felt mid 5s would be okay. I am near St Louis, and it was low 80s.

Keep trying!

I only have 400 miles on it, so it will be a while before I try it again. I was just expexting more. I was getting about the same from my 11 v6 manual. How did you get a 4.6? That is insane!

Dang they have that on the LS... very cool.

FatboyStew · 09-19-2016, 08:47 PM

If you are referring to my 2011 ls, I used other methods...no performance timer with that one. I did try it again tonight, and got a 5.6. The temp was a little lower and I had a little less wheel spin, and a little under 1/2tank of gas. Hope to improbe more. I wish I could find a way to get rid of the hesitation from when I mash the gas and when the car actually goes WOT.

If it makes you feel better, I cut an 8.1 today. I don't really know how to launch a RWD V8 and I'm just kinda messing around right now. Won't try again until break-in is legitimately done and I have some fresh oil in her.

I had it set to track mode and competitive mode. Reviewing my "not video" that "doesn't exist", I slipped the clutch a little too much which started the timer a little early, then I put in way too much throttle and got a bit of fish tailing in first.

I'm sure you will do a lot better once you figure it out. I did one more un a fewdays ago with cooler temps and got a5.2 so I'm pretty happy with it now.

Hammered a 5.4 out of the 2.0 turbo on the second try, stock M6... Probably has more in it, the tires didn't even chrip; a stock V6 must have a 4.X in it!

For those with an auto....there is launch control to use...

Yup. Launch control on the manual as well.

How so? I'd like some info on that, I didn't know there was such a thing.

M6 has it going on! I find that I can't get an accurate reading on the performance timer with the auto, as soon as you touch the gas with your foot on the brake to load it up, the timer starts even though you aren't moving. Best I have been able to get on the performance timer is 6.1 with my auto...

6.03 as recorded in HP tuners monitoring the speed from 0-60 stock, and 5.886 with the big throttle body.

Ahhh, i see... The M6 will let you push the clutch in and dial in some rpm for a decent launch without the timer starting.

A professional driver in good conditions should be able to knock down a 5.2... I believe a publication (C&D?) already has

I'm starting to think that the no lift shift and launch control is an SS only thing

Anybody with solid info on this please chime in!
