The effect that altitude and lack of skill have on 0-60 times.

 

4.6 with my stock A6

 

While my car is in the shop, they gave me a 2015 ecoboost Mustang.

Haven't tested its 0-60 yet, but ... it feels slow compared to my 12. Maybe I shouldn't complain so much ...

 

6.14 sec? I don't feel quite so bad. Still, I know I can do better than what I am getting.

 

 

4.5 sec. Nice job! I see Traction Control was off and I heard only a little bit of wheel spin during take off and near the top of first. Did you just roll into the throttle?

Also, it looks like you were shifting manually. What RPM did you push the button and when did it shift?

Without any throttle control efforts I've done a best of 5 flat, but there was horrific wheel spin. I got a best of 5.1 with the Traction Control on.

I recently put a tune in it and noticed I'm getting a lot more spin just driving around. Haven't had the opportunity for a good 0 to 60 yet, but I can tell it's going to take even more finesse with the peddle.

 

**** Jim, howd you do that? is it an Auto?

My best was 4.9

 

That wasn't me, but the car is an auto. I found this video and thought it of interest. My best so far is 5.1 with a tune. I get my car back today so I'll try again with some tips people have given me.

 

My personal best is 4.3s with brand new Goodyear Asymmetrical ZR rated. I have 373 rear 6sp manual 2014 GT. Constantly getting between 4.3 and 4.5. Old stock tires gave me a 4.4 personal best and averaged about 4.6-4.8. Traction is everything.

 

By my 'quick search', Alberta Canada elevation is 3,481 feet. This is why your 0 to 60 times are slow. My town is in a valley at 820 feet, this is why my v6's times are good
