    The following will help explain how I was able to beat a 911 GT3 (See the following thread for a refresher):

    OK, I nearly shat myself. I know that the onboard 0-60 timers aren't 100%, but even so, this is NUTS even if its remotely close! About 60 degrees outside, give or take:

    A car that weighs in at approx. 4400 lbs., with no major mods, can accelerate like a bat outta hell. My previous best was 4.62, before the Predator with the 91octCAI tune.

    The research done after the above GT3 encounter puts that car at around the same 0-60 as the one I posted... so we're closer than I expected on that day 'it' went down. Who'd have thunk!

    BTW: Isn't it funny that we start referring to a car(s) that hit 60 in like 5 seconds as mediocre?!?! I remember thinking a stock GTA hitting 60 in 7.1 was blazing fast back in the early 90's!


    Steve, its one of the nice little touches that the 07 has, a 0-60 timer. I highly suggest using it. While not 100% accurate, its close, and allows for you to 'practice' launching while providing immediate feedback as to how you're doing... all without having to go to a track.

    I did 5 runs that night and never went above a 4.34 0-60. What I started to notice was that I was listening to the tires to determine the launch quality.

    Momo didn't tell you he had a 300 pound fat check in the passenger's side and was on a 23 degree downgrade.... supprised he didn't break the 4.0 barrier...
