Default My Lexus IS-F 0-60MPH with G-Meter (3 Runs)

Well I just went out with my friend Thomas who has the 335i with Procede V2 chip and we wanted to test the 0-60 time with the G-Meter. We did three runs with the first run on Drive mode, with sport mode on, and traction control completely off. The second and third runs where with Manual mode, with sport mode on, and traction control completely off.

Thanks and enjoy!

turn traction back on and try revving to about 3k rpm, see what it gives you... if you can't rev it, turn traction control off and keep your left foot halfway on the break so that the tires barely move when you're at 3k rpm. that way when you step on it, you will have enough forward momentum (you're not moving, but its called forward momentum) so that the tires don't spin. try it.

Wow, not sure what you are doing, but on my G-Timer I get a pretty consistent 0-60 of 4.2 and a 1/4 mile of about 12.8. That is using paddles, sport mode, shifter NOT in D, all traction etc off. Make sure to hold the traction button for a few seconds until the second light turns on as well.

I have not been concentrating on 0-60 times any more since they happen too quick - 0-100 or 1/4 mile times are much more fun.

Desi, what have you been hitting as far as 0-100 times? Also, what method are you using to launch? What rpm are you torque braking to? I've found that at about 2k rpm my rears start to spin...

Peter, I just have been doing a standing start and smash the go pedal. Any kind of revving with the brake leads to wheel spin. I'm sure someone with more skills could deal with that, but any time I hold the brake and just touch the gas a bit, I end up spinning the tires way too much. As you may know, if you keep your foot into the gas, the car will spin the tires through the first 3 gears easily - and that's after holding the brake for only a second or so to get the spinning started.

I don't remember the 0-100 since this was a few months ago after I broke in the car. I'll have to go out and do a few more runs.
