March 13, 200323 yr #1 Last night a decided to give my 1500km auto T for a run to see how quick she is, After 3 runs the best time I could get was 14.63 with another friend in the car and a full tank of fuel.The brake fade after the third run was worry I had a very hard time pulling her up.I think less a friend and fuel should be able to sheer a couple of tenths of that, what do you guys and gals think.
March 13, 200323 yr #2 Pretty good time mate. I had 2 passengers in mine with a full tank and out of two runs my best time was 15.1 on the G Tech Pro. I need more practise with my take offs, I find that I do not give enough revs or even too much, I need more practise but the car is still too new to having more runs and getting better times. By the way I have a manual.
March 14, 200323 yr #3 Author It is a bit of an art to get the take off right, all my runs done last night was with traction control on and it seems to bog the car down alot when you hit about 2500rpm, the funny thing is it didn't even occur to me to turn off traction control, I think traction still cuts in even whens it switched off.
March 14, 200323 yr #4 I ran without TC, I practised takeoffs in the rain with TC and made my car in first gear go all funny last weekend.

March 14, 200323 yr #6 Author The meter is worth around $370 and is meant to be very accurate. It is very important to estimate the car weight as accurate as possible, a very straight road is also required to get a accurate reading. at the end of the day it will give you an idea especially if your thinking about tweaking.
