LOL still drinking the koolaid--- thats a rollout time so add about .2 or .3 seconds to a optimal test vs everyday where draggy will show different numbers. (and yes I know C&D tests were to 60mph)

We have quite a few members here that have done real world tests and you wont see that magical 2.5 or 2.6 unless you are modded. In a vacuum maybe (like ideal conditions as I mentioned and premeditated) but I drive on a regular street in a regular world (if you call Cali regular hahahah)
Hey Vic, yeah C&D seems to add pixiedust to the results through additional "calculated calibration" for things like slope, wind, density altitude etc.

I was around 2.8/3.0 (no rollout and rollout) on the non comp m8 coupe bone stock with PZeros with brake boosting. I guess it could be possible to get better results using launch control on a fully prepped surface. Which only happens at a drag strip or illegal street race. Maybe there's "one in a hundred" where using LC give you a magic 2.7-2.8 actual 0-60 and so 2.5 with a 1-foot rollout stock. But the other 99 times it will be much closer to 3 flat 0-60 and 2.8 with rollout results most people are getting.

Tuned yeah different story. 2.5 with the PZero's brake boosting on service road with sand all over it. Need to do some more testing for sure.
