The first pod(most left) in the middle three dash pods. If you toggle the switch, you can get to a timer screen. Apparently this is to time your 0-60 time or whatever. How does it work? Is it manual? Do you floor it and then press the switch to start the timer and when you get to 60, you are supposed to hit the switch again to stop it?

Is that even considered accurate?

 

I never thought it was 0-60, but just a general stop clock. Having to hit it manually yourself may botch the numbers a bit, lol

 

isn't illegal for a manufacturer to promote illegal street racing? hehehe

 

i guess what you can do is have a passenger hit start and stop.....if...you drive that SLOW

 

Then they should not make EVOs and STi's..

 

Yeah, but I'd probably ditch the passenger if I were to run a 0-60 time trial (who needs the extra weight?)...

 

my point exactly

 

i think its funny that you bring this up. i started a thread about this same thing about a year and a half ago. i was convinced that there was no way that there was something so useless on our cars. i tried everything. thought maybe something on the steering wheel might have controlled it. i even went as far as to read the manual in the applicable areas. and guess what i found.......

absolutively nothing!!!!!!

its the most useless attribute that this car or any other out there has.

in fact it has gotten to the point where its comical to me and about the only thing that i use it for is to time how long that goddamn red light takes when i am late for whatever it is that i am late for!!!

 

I guess you've never wanted to time a trip?

 

You need to know down by one-hundredth of a second how long your trip time is?

 

there is a different timer for the trip one and the "gone in 60 seconds" one. the one to use for trips just counts seconds and then into minutes and so on.

the one we are talking about is the one that breaks things down into tenths of a second. if you were really going that fast to where you wanted your time, you probably shouldnt to take your hand off the wheel to stop the clock.

useless.

okay, i will get off my soapbox now.

 

Well I use whatever one I feel like really, both are good for timing. Esp. when you wanna see how fast you can get there.

 

Yup, there is two timers. One is a trip timer that does hours and minutes. and the other one is a timer that goes down to one-hundrendth of a second. Basically a stop-watch.

Obviously this means that one is for a trip timer and one is for a 0-60 timer.

Which we should get back on topic now that we have ruled out it is not for a trip timer(since there is already one).

 

i dont use the timer... i use the digital speed

it is easy to forget how fast you are going I need something to remind me...

 

I wondered what it was for also, I saw there is no way for me to shift and hit the start and stop buttons.

 

i have a gforce thing, not exact, but much better than our timer, and for 25 bux off ebay, not bad.
