So not wanting to drag this thread on forever as its already done that  ::)

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

out of pure interest would my time be bettered further still if I....

held foot brake
throttle ALL THE WAY DOWN
released brake

????

 :y
You'll stall it. About the only way to stall an auto  (except those shitty Vauxhall Vivaro vans, which can stall on an incline because the gearbox takes about 3 years to wake up and change down)

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...
What you mean TB  :-\  Do you mean from when the data happened compared to when it was ..Written To ram and then to file once you have stopped recording   :-\

Surely it can't be too slow to keep up with a 2.5 omega?

Webby.....you live in Northampton,just down the road from SPR,perhaps you should pop along to the track during the Eurofinals any day from the 3rd thru to the 6th of September (I'm definitely going to be there :y) and watch how the pro's do it...0--300+ MPH in under 4 seconds,best tutorial you'll ever have and you'll get to smell the heavenly perfume of 15 gallons of Nitromethane getting consumed in under 4 seconds.......I can't wait..I never miss it :y :y

No, the datastream is too slow, and doesn't have a timestamp. The timestamp is made up by the PC in software, and is irrelevant to what is in the datastream (which is also mostly made up/guessed/calculated in software in the PC).  The real data isn't the same as whats displayed in the csv.
