0-60 time using wii-mote (is my car broken?)

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3362586&page=1

this was my best time using the wii-remote and calculations.
6MT w/ headers and AEM CAI, h&r sport springs




this is my best run. a stock car should run ~6.5 sec, headers closer to 6 sec.


is there something wrong with my car ? the IMRC is working properly (i can see it switch over when i turn the throttle)

of course it's not 100% accurate but you can clearly see my shifts and acceleration curves. i have timed with a stopwatch and gotten times of upper 6 sec to mid 7's as well. i think the stopwatch is a less accurate way to measure as you are never stopped at exactly 60mph or starting at 0 mph either.

seems like it reads a little high.

While I think the software needs some tweaks, it is pretty cool. I will have to post my numbers when I get a change.

Also with regards to the M3, they were saying it had tons of wheelspin at launch.

I've used a stop watch with mine and in regular auto I'm 0-60 in about 6.9 -7. But in SS mode with TCS off I was pulling down 0-60's in 6.3-6.4. All I have is suspension and resonator removed when I did these runs.
I would think a 6 speed and headers would kill my times. Sounds like something is up with your car or you need to learn to drive better (jokin).
