Amazing discovery read.
Today i went 0-60 in 6.2sec. In my stock 08 TL base auto. Then i tested it again in auto mode, and got 6.3, to 6.4 secs. Wow thats awsome.

Tell us how you measured the time, whether you were in SS, and whether VSA was on.

in real world measures, our zero to 50 is so sick, like 3.5 seconds or so, now that is sick, since I drive alot in the city, I get home and where I need to go, very quick. Especially coming from a Toyota Matrix.

human reaction time can be a big role in those numbers, you could have done a 5.9 in reallity or even have done a 6.3

That explains why your numbers are off. You fail every post you start. You should work for Car and Driver magazine with that watch of yours......lol.
