How did you get 6.9 secs and who timed you?
BTW, pretty good time.

Did you turn off the A/C, headlight? How many extra weight you were carrying? Just wondering... Oh and did you torque brake? at what rpm?

at the time, everything was off except my headlight. I was carrying 1 passenger (my brother). As for power break...no, i did not use that method. When i lunched the car, i was paying more attention on wheel slip than my rpm, therefore i can't tell you what my rpm was. All i remeber, interms of car performace, was that i did it in 2 gears.

u can't just do one run and call the time. u have to do the same run in both directions and take the average, in the least. that would account for any downhill u might be on.

been there done that... I took 2 runs on monday and tuesday. the two run i had on monday was higher...at 7.2 and 7.0. On tuesday it was 7.0 and 6.9. It was cold on both day...so it might have helped with the performance a bit.
