Hey guys,

So now that my car is broken in a bit more I am starting to perform some testing to see how my 0-60 changes with different driving methods.  Today's test is a stock test measuring 0-60 between Drive and Sport mode in the transmission.

I did something similar with my GLi (http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7243386-VBOX-Times-VS-Tune-gt-APR-Tune) and would like to do the same for this car.

So here we go....

One run each transmission mode in a straight away with almost same starting point.
You will notice a negative slope, which is less than a half of a percent... so that means I started at an elevation of 187.8 ft and when the run was over was at 186.5 ft (essentially negligible).
Brake boost was 1000 rpm for each run, 93 octane, and legit 0-60 (not a 1 foot roll out)



Questions or comments welcome!  One fun fact was the SPORT mode run had a 0-60 with 1 foot roll out of 5.672 seconds!

I am thinking next test should be best brake boost point?  1000 rpm vs. 1500 rpm vs 2000 rpm, thoughts?

Thanks ZSHO.  I know about dragtimes, very good site! 

I think testing with some brake boosting is next !
