0-60 times with VSA on and A/C on?

How much of a loss in 0-60 times can I expect with VSA on and A/C on?

There are times I've lost to cars I know I should have taken easily with an 02' TLS off the line and I was wondering if the VSA on has that much of an impact off the line. Once I get going it flies, but 0-30 I'm finding I have to play catchup.

Thanks.

VSA on will "stunt" the car's acceleration significantly .. you can't build momentum nearly as well.

When you "floor" the car (wide open throttle) .. the A/C clutch disengages ANYWAYS .. so you don't have to worry about losing pwr to the A/C when you forgot to shut it off before a race.

Definitely turn off VSA and learn to gate-shift when racing .. if you feel a race coming on at a red light, put it into 1st .. and 1/2 throttle it till you don't hear any squealing and then mash it .. shift at 6900 up till .. well.. up till you win, or lose, or get arrested!
