This thing is faster than I thought
My 460 has now almost 6K miles, it seems to be loosen up a little more now and yesterday I was able to confirm that this car is faster than I expected.
Had a kid in a 5.0 mustang trying to play and all I did was press the gas pedal - all of a sudden I jumped from 80 to 125 and he was eating dust.

Yeah this car's acceleration is not shabby. Here's a decent 0-240 km/hr video of it -

Question - did you perform your little stunt on power mode with A/C off? The A/C seems to take its toll on the accerlation a little, and power mode supplies a fairly significant boost in acceleration from normal mode from what I've seen.

Gotta agree with you Luxo, when the VVT does its deed, it's like, "Sorry Bud, gotta go". By the time I check the rearview mirror, there's just no traffic behind to speak of. Great feeling! Worth the price of the admission...

Interesting. Look at the multi-function display in this video. It shows the current range where my LS 460 shows outside temperature. So there is a way to choose something else to be in that spot. But how?
Edit: Sorry I believe I'm actually mistaken.
Can somebody clarify..
i remember a while back when seeing some pics, it shows the tire pressure on the wheels

My a/c was off, my elbow was out the window, I was just enjoying. Didin't even bother to turn "power mode" on, it was not necessary - I really like the accel on this car from a roll, be it from 60 or 80 on.
Funny thing was the guy in the stang stopped later on behind me at a red light and him and his girlfriend were checking out the car's butt to see what the hell it was. Not too many 460s around here yet.
