Okay, lets see how much juice folks have been giving their shiny new 392's by posting your best 0-60 times. Honesty people.
I'll kick it off. Did a gentle 6.03 during run in last week. Hit 500miles yesterday and even without full throttle, traction control on and no pre-revving before dropping the brake it did a 5.25s today. Mines an auto. I feel it needs a bit more easing in before I really let it rip. There's definitely a lot more time it the car.
Be great to hear if anyone has slammed out a sub 4.5s yet.
Every car is going to run a little different, I am at sea level and the driver skill in a manual is key. The speedo also cannot keep up with fast acceleration so the 0-60 timer goes off of the computer speed, not the speedo. Speedo's are actually buffered so they do not show slight wheel spin, or in hard acceleration, a chirp (which is 1/10 to 1/4 wheel spin).
I'm not sure why people find it hard to believe, and seem to think every car and driver is the same. Human nature I guess. I don't need validation, I thought people would enjoy this. My bad.
After months of trying finally got the perfect launch, no wheel spin, shifts at redline, traction control on. Very hard to get consistent times with the six speed manual. First few dozen runs in high 4's mid 5's over the past 9 months.
your goona need >525 HP to get a 4200Lb + the driver's weight to get your car sub 4 seconds.
They show the manual a litter quicker 0 -60 than the autos. We know the manuals are .4 slower in the quater
than the A5s becuase they have to do an additional shift. Guess it's not a factor in 0 60.
4.46 in a 2012 A5 with a B&G 93 tune, CAI and very little to no wheel spin is all I can muster.
My first few 5-10 tries today I was spinning all over the place trying to dump the clutch at 1500 RPM and flooring it and kept coming up at 5.1 - 5.5. Even when I was spinning off the line I never got those weird sub 4 times that I"ve seen on here, I just finished out the run. On this run, I let the clutch up just before the release point and simultaneously floored it as I let the clutch out the last 10% and hooked right up. I honestly wasn't focused on a specific launch RPM because that wasn't working for me. I was focused on matching clutch release with heavy throttle to avoid spinning. I guess I must have been on the low end when I started to roll, around 1200-1300 or so and then put the pedal to the floor and the car just lurched off the line like a slingshot and executed perfect shifts to 2nd and 3rd. I'm surprised I never hit the rev limiter as I went right into the red and beyond a little on 1-2. Not sure if I hit 60 in second at 6500rpm or third. I found the key is the clutch release point simultaneously with throttle. I guess that's a no brainer but easier said than done. This car is extremely difficult to launch with the manual. The car has 2000 miles on it and I only drive it now and then so it's taken me some time to find the sweet spot. We'll see what happens next time I take her out now that I have a clue.
Every A-Hole is a expert on the internet. EPA states horrible numbers for highway for the R/T but I can avg 29-31....I must be wrong because it's posted at 23 somewhere on the internet!
I ran a 4.9 0-60 with my R/T with little wheelspin. Blasphemy it states 5.1-5.5! This forum is just starting to become flooded with WTB's (whiney titty babies) sorry just pointing out a fact.
