Yeah, I think the specs say it is accurate within .1s+-. I guess 5.4-5.5 is what most of the magazines say...

run1: 5.43 N->S (launch @2500)
run2: 5.30 S->N (launch @3000)
run3: 5.43 S->N (launch @2500)
run4: 5.36 N->S (launch @3000)

I have '99M3/2 with NO engine mods (only some brake mods). I am running S-02 (with 6 track days and 12000 miles on them). The temp was about 74 degrees. For those in the bay area, I was on that strip of Mary ave in Sunnyvale, just North of Maude (very empty and wide).

As you can see, I went in both directions on the same road (N->S, S->N). I tried launching with little to no wheelspin (2500RPM), and seemed to get consistently slower results. The 3000RPM launch's had some wheelspin for about 1 second. I did a few practice runs before the recorded ones, and I was consistently get in the 5.3's w/wheelspin.


FYI...

I heard (from posts on 5-series and other boards) that G-Tech Pro is consistent but also generous with the numbers. Could be a couple of tenths too low from what I understood. Not bad numbers though even if true.

Rgds,
Norm
