few runs using gtech, accurate??

I did about 6 runs in my cl-s, I was the only passenger, 1/8 tank of gas, ct headers, ct catback, ct intake, ur pulleys, 235/45/17.

I seem to have figured out how to have a perfect launch but I don't know if the last 4 runs are accurate, the gtech was set up property

0-60 times were 6.14, 5.8, 5.31 5.36, 5.25, 5.18.

I have used the gtech about 15-20 times before at the track when I had my mustang and a6 2.7t. I always compared the gtech time with the actual times of the track clock and they were almost identical

does anyone with same mods have any 0-60 gtech times?


Also I did a few runs last year when my only mod was ct intake, using stock tires and my best was 6.08-6.17

Which G-tech was this? The old one or the new one they have. I've used the old one before on another car & found it to be only good getting an around figure. It wasn't off by much, but don't take it as gospel.

^ Holy crap, that's pretty damn acurate. Since our track is closing here, guess that's the next best thing, haha.

I kinda doubt the ones sub 5.8, to be honest. A stock 6 speed CL-S is just about 5.9-6.0 0-60, and they run about 14.5. Its pretty well known that with your mods on a 5AT you will be about 14.3-14.4, or so. So, I'd say anything less than like 5.7-5.8 is being really optimistic.

Anyways, 0-60 is pointless. Run it the full 1/4 mile and see what it says, then report back.

Only if you remember to put oil in your motor.

Unfortunately b/c of street racing, I think there will be a huge increase in accidents. But what the racers gonna do?

Speaking of street racing, people hardly ever try to race me in my CL "which looks stock". When I'm in my girlfriend's Teg, I get taunted everytime! But since it's a stock 4 door RS I can just
