0-60 times with in-car timer
Well after owning the car for 10 months, (wow it's been that long already?) I decided to finally use the in car stop watch. I was just driving around and the streets were empty so I said why not.
It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, I thought it was going to be awkward pressing the button and stuff but it wasn't. The only problem was that 2nd gear ends at about 57mph so you're essentially coasting to 60. My times were as follows:
5.56
5.94 (spun tires real bad in first and second)
5.74 (spun first a little)
5.46 <-- Best time, pretty much a perfect run for me
Just having a little fun, thought I'd share, anyone else ever use this thing?

I tried this many times myself. It just doesn't work

I agree its not totally accurate, but at the same time I really dont feel as if its THAT innacurate. Trust me I'm not going to run out at brag my car can run a 5.46 0-60 time. I did it for fun.

G-tech will start itself once you set it up and stop the timer once you hit 60mph.
That is why I said G-tech works a little better. You do not have reaction time included or push the stop too soon.
The timer that comes with the car requires you to start and stop it as a push of a button. Not too accurate really imho.
However, it is nice to have the timer for long trips you take. That way you can get a real idea of what time it takes for your trip.
Nice toy to say the least.
