The other thing I don't think anyone mentioned, is drive by wire cars all have a lag, thus products like a sprint booster, So sure if says 5 sec. 0-60, stock, but what will it do with no throttle lag?
do they measure from the throttle input of the foot? cause i think they just measure from when the car starts moving or the G force these days?

maybe the rolling start might be affected..but

I would think when the car starts moving, but it takes some time for the "pedal" to give full throttle, if at all until higher speeds.

The track measures when the car moves,,,lol- listen to the video I posted & you can here the gas pedal smack the plate a bit before the rpm gauge even moves....that will change in the upcoming weeks.(you can here it go "tink",delay & takes off...also; these cars are heavier than people think...mine weighs 3340 full of fuel & 3640 w/ me & my helmet.
@ just over 6'5" & 285lbs, perfect fit in the ~Z~ don't think I would have the legroom with a clutch pedal though.
Loving my 7sp. Auto.
