grantmcf Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Every review I read on the internet I see a 5.6s 0-60 time posted for the 2015 FWD Edge Sport. I'm curious if anyone on here has documented a 0-60 time for a 2016 AWD Sport. I've tried a few times in mine and I always seems to end up at around the 7sec mark. That's a long way from 5.6s. Granted, I'm running on regular gas, I'm not standing on the brakes while the revs build and the AWD will surely cause a hit, still, I would have thought it would have been better than that. Maybe I'll fill up on 93 Octane next time and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Even taking DA into consideration, the 0-60 seems rather high. Have you finished "breaking-in" the Edge as per the OM? And how are you measuring the time? with a handheld device or at the track? Edited June 3, 2016 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantmcf Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 My Edge Sport has over 3000 miles on it so I'm well past the break-in period. I'm measuring with a handheld stopwatch so not entirely super accurate :-), but still ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourGuide Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Seven seems really high. Mine has so much power that I really can almost never stretch it's legs - legally. I'd have to take it to the track to really do that. Just by the seat of the pants I can tell you for sure it is WAY faster than 7 to 60. Seven seconds to 60 was roughly where I was when I had my Escape with the 2.0. Are you running it in Drive or S-mode? Either way, when I press down on the gas pedal - this thing has some serious pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantmcf Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Driving in S-Mode, air conditioning off, less than a quarter tank of gas, only me in the car, trunk empty etc. etc. Air temp is quite warm in Texas at the moment (only getting hotter) so that will be having some effect too since turbos like cold dense air. I dunno, guess I'll check the turbo connections and make sure there's no leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 AWD with tunes are getting around 4.6-5.0 seconds. I don't know my fwd tuned 0-60, I haven't found a level ground long enough to pull one. This road is downhill and uphill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamm1 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Keep in mind that the times reported by the car mags (MT, C&D, etc.) all use "1 foot of roll out" (like on a drag strip). Forum member GT500R had some really great posts were he tested D vs S on a stock 2015 Ford Edge Sport using a VBOX. He did brake boost to around 1000 rpms and was running 93 Octane to attain his numbers. He was also able to reproduce that magazine times of ~5.6 s when he used the "1 foot of roll out" method. I do not think we have seen any dyno numbers for the 2.7 Ecoboost used in the Sport run on 87 Octane vs. 93 Octane. I know that the Ecoboost Mustangs and the Focus ST's do loose a not insubstantial amount of horsepower over ~4000 rpm when run on 87 Octane. But with elevated temperatures, 87 Octane, no brake boosting, no "1 foot of roll out" method and the inherent error of the stop watch method I could see adding another ~1.3 seconds to the magazine times.

grantmcf Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Switching to 93 octane gained me about a quarter of a second so I'm now at around 6.75s. Ambient air temp right now is 80-90 degrees here in Texas so I guess I'll have to wait until the end of the year to see how this thing performs in 30-40 degree air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT just tested a 2016 Edge Sport using 87 Octane. They lost 0.5 sec to 60mph vs. a previous test of a 2015 Edge Sport that used 93 Octane. http://www.motortrend.com/news/2016-ford-edge-sport-awd-first-test-review/ Edited June 10, 2016 by Bamm1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Pretty big difference for just octane. Ford must really be pulling timing on the 87 tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Pretty big difference for just octane. Ford must really be pulling timing on the 87 tune. Semantics but it's more appropriate to say they're advancing timing on the 93 tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantmcf Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 MT just tested a 2016 Edge Sport using 87 Octane.

I wonder if they were building revs while on the brake ? I might be able to say that the discrepancy is due to the very warm ambient temperature I was running in and my fairly inaccurate stopwatch method. I'm feeling a bit better now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500R Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I don't know how many 0-60 runs I have logged but it is a lot. Look for all threads started by me and you'll see stock / D vs S / varying rpm launch / etc etc Here is a tuned 0-100 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Turn traction control off, brake torque just a bit, easy half second improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
