How Quickly can you hit 60??



Had what was suppose to be some fun with the 1le trying out the per and seeing how quickly i could get to 60.

Don't laugh cause my times are quite pathetic, especially the first run. How Quickly Can y'all get to 60?

I enjoyed watching your video Dante. You're a funny guy! You definitely improved there on the last couple of passes. Try the launch control feature combined with the no-lift shift from 1st to 2nd and hopefully you will be able to get your time down to the Chevrolet advertised time of 4.2 seconds (for manuals). Also, in your performance supplement manual check for the recommended air pressure settings for the rear tires for added traction of the line.

Hey man great video. 4.7 is getting there. I've had my ss for about 6 weeks now and I'm still only getting 4.5 with the a8. I'm in the conyers area and would like to see that 1le. Pm me if you up for a meet and greet. Hope you enjoy the new ride.

4.2 here running 28 psi in Sport 1. Launch control usually gives me about 4.3-4.4. Looking to try again with the cooler weather now.

4.3 on a cold night. Every now and then I'll give it another shot and I'm stuck around 4.5's consistently. I either run all assists off or Sport Mode with Comp Mode. I have never lowered tire PSI below 30. I'm sure lower 4's or high 3's are possible if I spent a lot of time at it.

Ironically I ran a 4.2 on my first and only try in a standard 2SS non 1LE car. Totally a crap shoot on getting the launch just right. I never have gotten it dead on in my car when using the timer.

Also I have noticed a difference in the timer on the PDR and the timer in the performance guages. Do you know how to get to the one outside of the PDR?

4.6 seconds with 32lbs cold tire pressure (didn’t look to see what they were at warm) when it was abou 85 degrees outside. I will make a few runs with some cooler fall weather and drop the tire pressure a smidge. Also Track then Race mode.

Turn PTM off it will cut power on 1-2 shift. Use Comp Mode it turns off Traction completely but still allows you to hold WOT on launch with out pegging the Rev Limiter.

No i don't know how to get there. Matter a fact, all the things people hve been mentioning and talking about, I don't have a clue how to get to. That was literally the 5th time in the 3 weeks I've owned the car, I've been in it.

I have tried turning all off (hold button for 5-10 seconds) and I get to much wheel spin at launch. I didn’t think you could use the launch control with all nannies off(?). I will need to try this out. I have been going track mode and double pumping the TC switch and going down to Race; I read somewhere that was ideal for limiting wheel spin at launch. I was wondering about the power loss of the 1-2 shift as I have been getting some odd burping noise during shift...

Is the burp you're referring to the sound during a no-lift shift?

In track ptm race mode, it's the only mode that uses the "drag strip" calibration for the launch control. Haven't honestly tried it myself
