Yes I took off my RS 20" rims & tires and put on the LT polished 19" rims & tires. (smaller cicumference = slightly quicker 0-60 times) I always run in the sport mode. The Temp.,Humidity,Barometric pres.,Elevation ALL make a VERY LARGE difference in 0-60 times........ Example: ....w/ Very High temp.& humidity with 29.68 pres. my 0-60 runs were: 6.09 & 6.38 secs......( elevation was the same) |

I know that temp, humidity and all that play a big role in the V6 0 - 60 times, and I'm estatic that we're getting numbers so low into the 5s!
What I don't get is why couldn't the "professional" car magazines reproduce these times?? I'm faily certain that MotorTrend tested all 4 versions of the camaro on a cool, brisk morning and could not get better than a 6.1 average with the V6 auto. How is it that we are getting times nearly a second quicker?

#2... We DON'T KNOW that they did their tests on a cool morning etc... I have NEVER seen where any magazine stated ALL the weather condtions. TEMP.,HUMIDITY,BARMOMETER PRES.& ELEVATION ! Some list some but not ALL of the above. #3 ...I HAVE GOT THOSE TIMES that the mags. stated & SLOWER with the weather not as favorable....See Example.... Example: ....w/ 86degs.temp.,75% humidity & with 29.68" presure my 0-60 runs were: 6.09 & 6.38 secs......( Elevation, methods & place of my runs was the same) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOTTOM LINE: Those 4 factors make a vast difference in 0-60mph , 1/4mi.or any other times ! -------------- |

I'm just really impressed the car is this quick. I don't think anyone saw a stock auto getting 5.1.
I've also got the polished 19"s with auto. I really can tell the difference between a warm mid-80s day and how it runs with mid-60s at night. It's literally night and day. BTW, what is the device you're using on the dash and where can I get one? |

I believe you, X. You've been pretty on top of all this. I'll just say I didn't expect it, not a full second below what most magazines published on a stock car. I find that amazing.
I wonder if my exhaust mods (shorties coming soon!) plus a nice cool morning in the 50s could get me a 5.0 flat. That would be something. |

after all my performance disappointments with my car, i must say...i was driving her the other night and it was -1 C and boy, she was fast. Only problem was the Pzeros were not gripping at all, the drive wasnt long enough i believe but still. Car felt great. Performance is still not what i think it should be, but atleast i know shes got more in her on the cold days. I wish i could replicate this feeling all day, year round. Would a cold air intake produce a similar feeling, or will it just be sucking in warm to hot air?

Ok, I received and installed my Airaid intake yesterday and Fed Ex also had my Matrix Accelerometer onboard. It's been raining here the last few days but stopped late last nite so I thought I'd give my new toys a try this morning on my A6.
Roads were damp with a temp of 43 degrees and 70% humidity. First two runs showed 5.8 and 5.7 on a start from idle and mashing the pedal. Tires spun on the damp road and there seemed to be a slight hesitation at launch. Well I thought that's pretty good in these conditions and i'll give it a try later in the week when the weather is supposed to clear. On the way home I decided to give it one more shot on a on level on-ramp to a well paved and relatively dry by-pass. This time I loaded it up to about 1.5k rpm, released the brake and briskly and steadily ran thru the throttle. No hesitation this time with little spin. I like my new intake! I'll try later in the week and hope to see the same 4.98. |
