I tried this tonight in my 2.6 auto. 4 runs on a quiet road....

1) Sport Mode on - 9.3s
2) Sport Mode on - 9.3s
3) Sport Mode off - 8.9s
4) Sport Mode off (and climate off, forgot about that b4 the last run) - 8.7s

Should i be disappointed by this, or is this about right? It did have a full tank of fuel, and 6ft 7 / 21stone worth of FB driving it......  ;D

Not bad but not good, mine was a hire car though originally!!!!

Done a run today 9.0 seconds, slight drop of power at full revs over petrol, but need to get the gas system recalibrated!

BP Ultimate does work hence 7.8.

If I want to go mad I'll use petrol, but gas is so cheap a slight power loss is no worry.
It would be a good test to see what decent fuel will achieve - mine was on Asda special mega cheap rubbish, 95ron.  Might try a splash of Ultimate and see...  ...or the 102ron they are selling in MK....


I was pleasantly suprised yesterday, bit annoyed today. BP Ultimate did work on mine, I was expecting maybe 1/2 second slower on gas. But I will make two points.

Full revs, gas not as good, but at 5000 nothing noticable, off the line a little more delay.

The DBW does not like stall speed launches as if you are slightly slow it cuts the throttle.

I think the 5000-6000 section cost me 3/4 second, slower launch 1/4second - very rough figures (I will try again tonight on way home if I don't go to DIY shop)

I will try some proper fuel on the next fill up. Also, what is involved in a Gearbox Software update? (And how much will it cost me??)

Managed a consistant 7.5 - 7.8 on a local airfield this afternoon, just me with a 3/4 tank of Optimax, despite having an M-Tek modification.  

Must get the multiram sorted out, still not working properly.  It does not move when the throttle is blipped....   :'(  That would probably help the initial lift off.....

Should be a bit quicker than that if i can get 7.6 from an Elite Auto :-?

7.7s :D

Anyone got better out of a slushy?

I reckon there is still more in there, it bounced on the rev limiter before changing gear, not sure why.  May have been because the EML is on ::)

I actually did this the other day also, in EP's old Elite which is now my Dads new Elite, just before i dropped it off at his house. Set the Stopwatch and floored it, hit 60 and stopped it, 0-60... 7.6 sec :o Don't know how accurate this was as it was done by myself and i only tried it once, but this car is chipped so could be possible ;)

Does this answer your question Jaime ::)

Bugger.  I know the gearchange lost a tenth or so as it bounced off the rev limiter. Must try again without EML on ::)

Still, as EP's old car was chipped, I am happy with that.
