I was Thinking Plug it in when at the launch pad then just press record and go when you are ready..Then when you get your data up on screen you will clearly see the 0-60 run...And the start & finish time .... They take around 3 reading per second.. :y


Example.. Start time 12.2 secs     Got to 60mph @ 21.4 secs = 9.2 secs 0-60

That illegal PoS code reader will be no good at 0-60 tests as the data stream is too slow. I reckon a T2 would be too slow as well, and that reads live data out far faster...

but...

I did a great time by...

holding foot brake
throttle to half way (revs stuck at 2500 or thereabouts)
brake off and simultaneously flooring the throttle

I am with you on this one Webby. It is shock loading that snaps drive shafts.

An automatic box makes it difficult to cause a shock load. Hold the engine on the rev limiter in a manual and then dump the clutch if you enjoy changing half shafts.
