Not sure I plan to go that fast today, not exactly a closed racetrack

Going to load 93 aggressive tonight round 12am, must test it before I go sleep...

I wasn't comparing the Edge to those cars, the reason I got the Edge is to slow down a bit. Either way, the tuner is here and email sent requesting tune. Hopefully I can have a little fun this weekend. The 93 aggressive tune could be born tomorrow ;-)

Funny...like saying hold on, need to get my launch control sequence going. Also not much help if you are already in motion. The reason I like 5-60 is because it shows car power anywhere not just from a stop. The new MDX for example loses exactly .3 seconds since there is no way to launch it harder. Cla45 AMG loses almost a second n a half without launch control. At a track, sure, those should work. For everything else, which is where I come in, 5-60 shows the picture I need to see.

Read those articles, makes me respect 5-60 even more now and make 0-60 completely useless, unless you are at a track of course and both cars get the benefit.

That would be with my Commodore not the Edge

Launch control is the exact reason why 5-60 is so repeatable. On paper BMW M4 looks like a beast with low 12s quarter but u take away launch control and it loses a full second. That basically means I blew his doors off in a 4000lb car like he was driving a sausage cooker on the highway.

I have the Ford locks on 21" wheels, they seem a bit dull next to the regular bolts and have an open design so they look a little silly.

so to understand correctly, the 1 ft roll out is simply letting the brakes go and then slamming on the gas? If so, I don't see how you stall at all... I generally like C&D 5-60 acceleration numbers as that is simply stomping the pedal in 1st gear and see what happens which should be easy to replicate in the real world. Tuner should get here tomorrow and hope to be flying by the weekend. Finally hard wired my detector so together with my jammer I should be fairly comfortable stomping around again.

GT500R, decided not to wait until LMS can get my tire size in and got a dedicated 21" set in OEM size...pricey but go through snow easy, even my wife said it was easy to swallow their price once you put them to use. Either way, I should have my Livernois tuner later this week and I am going to demand a 93 aggressive tune, that is what I had on my previous vehicle and remember their regular 93 felt kind of crappy with tranny hunting too much, still lots of power but just didn't feel right. The agressive wasn't a gear banger but it just stopped the hunting non-sense and went for the lowest gear which is where I want to be if I mash it. I would love to know how you're testing so I can figure out real world results. I don't plan to rev the engine while standing nor do I plan to turn traction control off. Can you let me know how fast the car goes when you just mash the accelerator in Sport mode? Also, with a 1ft roll out, how do you do it? I let the gas go in my car and it barely moves anywhere which means you can't really build up RPMs yet your times as the best, do you just let it roll and then mash it? If so, that I can do! Multiple threads of single thread, as long as you're updating I will be following progress, thanks!

I didn't get a tune yet but I might if they can account for smaller tires, I have 245/45/18 winter tires from my previous car that I want to use, if they can make those work I'll get the tune.

I am also in NYC and know for a fact that they certainly will send you a mail tune. Got my self a 15 Sport since my last post too.

I have Livernois tune on my current vehicle and I visited them in person, good shop to work with and worth every penny. Standing by for further tune revisions before I jump in. Of course...I would need to buy an Edge first.

Does anyone have concrete info on when these cars will be hitting the dealer lots? I'm planning to check out a New Jersey dealer tomorrow and the vehicle locator tool shows them in line to get 10 Sports. Need to get one with my name on it if the numbers match up. Also, what is the general price increase on the Sport with 401a and Pano roof? first post so be gentle
