Road condition = dry
Engine coolant temp = 189 degrees
Intake air temp = 72 degrees
Test runs:
I did one test run to get familar with the new tires. The time was 6.68, same as the best time from the previous test.
Real runs:
I did two back-to-back runs. The first one with VSA on and the second with VSA off. The video is from the first run as it was better focused.
Here are the results:
Run 1 (VSA on) = 6.3319
Run 2 (VSA off) = 6.3300
0-60 time. Right click and save target as...
