The 2.5 is trickery, one foot rollout and launch control

Car is available with launch control so how is that trickery? The roll-out does seem like artificially lowering the number but it also seems like others are doing it as well.
Regardless, modern cars have really made it easy for a commoner to get arrested or turned into a mist when high speed comes to a sudden stop. Please enjoy responsibly.
Also, a focus on fun would be nice. Cars like this and the M6 GC CP I had just aren't special feeling at legal speeds. They're also not great on the track so I don't think I could justify buying another ... unless I also have an exotic or two and need to spend more money on my commuter |
What I am saying how many times during your daily commute you engage launch control so that you experience the 2.5 s to 60? Yourself I mean? Never, that's trickery. You are not going to see 2.5.
Oh, but the 3.5 s to 60, several times a day, and pretty happy with that |
I sound like a broken record but here we go again:
- I launch multiple times per day
- I launch from traffic lights and anywhere else where I think it's safe
- I crack into the 2.6s consistently
- I make the 2.5s occasionally
- my 2020 M5 hit the 2.5s regularly
... both cars were mod'd with a JB4 (a $900 box of aluminum magic that I can install and remove myself)
No trickery. No aspiration. Repeatable facts. |
The journos guys claimed 2.5 on a stock car, how is that not trickery? |
That is indeed. No argument. Which I posted in detail about.
You said folks don't launch everyday—I do. You also said he'd never see it, so I'm telling you I do... consistently (with just a JB4). |
Well, you're the exception that confirms the rule. Make a poll about how many times people use launch control on daily basis and see what I am talking about.
I have my M5 for over one year already and never used launch control. |
What a waste. To each their own, though.
However, you cite opinion as though it's a fact with a statistical sample size of...what, you and?
You said it doesn't happen. It does. You said it can't be achieved. It has been... consistently. Then when someone disproves your point of view, you call it out as an anomaly.  |
All I said is the 5-60 at 3.5 is the better reflection of the car performance, while the 2.5 is a trickery.
Now you come with a JB4 modded car saying that you can get around 2.6-2.7, exceptionally 2.5 . Well, this proves my point that 2.5 on a stock car is trickery, thank you  |
We agree on the stock car but the thread had forked. So if the above makes you feel better about being wrong, then have at it.
