A little Performance Data

[Banshee]

I went out on an abandoned road and decided to see what this OBD2 scanner says.
SO, take this for what it is, whether good or bad, I have the OBDLink MX OBD2 scanner/dongle/reader and used their OBDLink app.

I didn't launch it really hard, or try several times. This was only the second recording of it. And, I do not know how accurate it is either.
This was with a full tank of gas, and I weigh around 173 lbs. No other equipment was in the car.

Let the speculation begin

It took 6.17 seconds to get to 60.9 MPH/330 ft but 0-60 MPH was 5.40 seconds?

A few other things don't really add up like the 0-100 MPH time and 1/4 mile time/speed.

Yeah, you are right. I am not sure how in the hell it did that. Unless it mixed the 1st and 2nd runs. It came with the reader. I guess when the magazines do a full test, I can see how close it was on any of the readings.
I let up at around 100, so I am not sure if it skewed the results.

My 1/4 mile was kind of close.

Faster and skidpad was better than the RS is I'm not mistaken.

Shift between second and third?

Well, I did bog a bit on the launch, as I didn't want to glaze a clutch disk just yet...LOL, but dropping it from about 2700 rpm didn't help either.

I wonder if they turned off the VSA when doing these tests. I should try and replicate....
