Default AP V2 0-60 and 1/4 mile times

im curious to see what other people are running with their set up so post ur mods and ur times ....

last night i found a pretty flat road by my house (slightly inclined ) and tried the 0-60 test. Im running the stage 1 91 oct acn map with LC set at 5K and no FFS. The AP said that im running 0-60 in 6.1 seconds and that im cutting a 60' of 2.35 seconds. I really doubt that im that ****ty of a driver; with LC and proper technique off the launch how am i getting such bad times? I think that when the LC is bouncing off the 5K rev limiter the car inches forward very slightly, causing the AP to prematurly being recording the time. Anyone care to chime in on what is the cause of this crap

I have seen on a stage 2 map a 0-60 of 3.9 and a 12.4 quarter mile. I think crewshief has a vid of his stage 2 results.

Those two features on the AP are completely useless and inaccurate. The best way to get an accurate 0-60 and 1/4 mile time is at the strip.

I tried it a few times when I first got my AP, I was getting like 10 seconds because as soon as the wheels start tirning, even from just reving, it starts counting. How are you supposed to rev the car and stay perfectly still

yah i tried multiple times and got anywhere from 6.1-6.3 secs. Today i tried LC at 5K and FFS set at just above 5K and i managed a 5.9 sec run. i just dont get why they released such a crappy feature

I'm sure it works for some people, it's just not consistent. I haven't tried it out for a while so maybe I'll give it another shot.

Why do you think I don't ever use it. Worthless tool IMO. I didn't ever expect it to be accurate.

The ground just isn't flat enough. I don't use the e brake at the strip and can bounce the revs around 5k without moving. So can a lot of people.

Also I imagine the AP is reading the mph directly from the ECU which is probably different that what is actually indicated on the speedo. Anyone who is calculating 0-60 using the speedo (magazines?) is going to come up with faster times than the AP.

Also my 12.9 runs at the strip and 1.70 60 ft times only yield 4.9-5.0 0-60 times according to both enginuity and excel.
