L99 owners please weigh in.
L99 owners give us your experience so far.
Miles, Oil changes, VIN#, other variables. If you haven't tracked your 0-60 times please try to do so. (SAFELY) Just curious as to how they are all performing. A number of us have had slow times and trying to figure it out. Post a vid of your run if you can. Or just give a reweiw of your thoughts. Thanx in advance. |

Good thread. Mine (I should say my fiance's) is due to be here in a few weeks, you can bet your paycheck I will drive it hard to make sure it performs before signing any paperwork.

Added my 0-60 vid in the OP.
VIN# 9067 Over 2000 miles Broke the engine in according to GM suggestions. Oil changed @ 1500 miles I've been really happy with this car. Wouldn't trade it for the world and it seems strong after about 65 MPH. Engine is strong. I can feel the power pushing the heavy car but it's just not accelerating the way it should. As I've said before, Bonnies car beat me EASILY and that shouldn't happen. |

Do you think the problem is the AFM ? That sucks, I hope you are able to get this straightened out |

And yes. It should beat hers easy. |
I have had mine for just over 1 month, I only have 900 miles on the car and changed the oil @700 miles. I have yet to try putting the pedal to the metal, I have done some fast starts but nothing to crazy maybe 4k-4.5k RPM. It is hard for me to determine how much power this car has compared to my 2007 G35 that I had, it had 306hp and good acceleration.
I am concerned with the issues that Scott,Irpq11,and rpeka are having because there might be a possibility that my car has the same issues when I try it out. When I reach the recommended 1500 miles I am going to try the car out and let you guys know, hopefully by the end of next week. So far I have had no issues with anything on the car, so that is good. I am keeping up daily on all the threads and thanks for Scott,Irpq11,and rpeka for dilligently keepng us all informed.:clap::clap: VIN#9436 |
Vin # 8446
No issues - feels fast (probably runs mid 13s even in 90 degree South Florida heat and humidity). Pretty much no break in. I did take it a little easy for the first 100 miles, but I did make a few high speed runs and played with the tap shifts shifting at close to redline. 0-60mph, 5.22 sec (G-tech) at 300 mile mark Currently has 400 miles on it, and I pretty much nail the gas pedal to the floor every chance I get. I plan on changing my oil around the 1000 mile mark. |
#7038, 340 Miles
No issues. Best run to 60 has been 5.38 (G-Tac iPhone software measured it...experimentally it was accurate +-2 MPH to my friend's speedo). Had to start it on a slight turn so I couldn't gun it till I hit the straight. I'm almost certain I could have shaved off a good chunk on a better launch situation. So this brings me to a question for those of you having problems...try not flooring it on the launch: feed in the throttle smoothly from a stop and see if you get better results. Has anyone with problems tried this? |

Irpq - the reason I say this is because...in S mode, flooring it, I got a 6.38 once. It seems faster when you feed it in smoothly, and the 2-3 times that I've measured it have borne this out.
Hell, my best time was in D mode with a bit of a rollout coming from a slight right off a stop sign. So I'm starting to wonder if the best launch for the L99 is smoothly fed in...particularly since Mike@Newera (I think) commented that he felt that lower RPMs gave him better times as well. |
