Tonight with 1/2 tank let out the clutch at 1500 and rolled the throttle on, pulled 4.64. The car has 500 miles on it. No wheel spin. The nose of the car really rose up on the shift. When I was practicing I got several 4.7's spinning and having to let off some in first. F1 tires at 32 psi cold. I also shifted before red line.
first test drive with myself and salesman on board, ran a 4.9 on a 102 degree afternoon with regular grade fuel...tc on, lots of wheel spin due to hot surface, hot air, 500' elevation.
am now full of 93 octane and will wait until temps cool around here a bit.
All I did was take a pic of the display after my best 0-60. This morning I got a 3.94 reading. My tires aren't spinning, although traction is turned off. I agree it seems odd, but I am curious to what you think "is going on". Both times I depressed the brake, got it up to up 4k, and then floored the gas. When I look down, I see 4.02 and 3.94. So tell me, what is going on???

What tires are you running to not spinning with a 4k launch? With my stock F1s I had to baby the throttle at a 1500rpm launch. With my 285 Nittos I can launch at 1800rpms but still have to eaze into the peddle till 1/2 way before I can floor it.

I have F1's. I honestly don't think they were spinning. Maybe I'm wrong. I certainly didn't hear anything and didn't see and rubber on the road. I don't know. I'm not a car guy so I don't know half the information some of the people in this forum know. All I know is what I see on the display.

F1s are actually pretty quite when they spin. Depending on the road you are on you may or may not see the marks. At about 1/2 tread my F1s would spin way to easy. With traction control disabled I could leave some nice black strips when it shifted from 1st to 2nd (auto).
The accuracy of the EVIC is questionable but it's fun to play with & a quick way to test mod improvements by comparing your old verses your new time.
