I downloaded the SpeedView app to know my 0-60 and I got 6 sec with sports off and 7.1 twice with sports on. All three runs traction control was off.

Let me start off by saying I never did a 0-60 run in any of my cars, I just know that when I hit the pedal it moved.

Now to the questions, why was my 0-60 slower with sports on?

I also did the run after a hour drive home from work. When is it the best time to do the speed test?

I did wait about a min before each run, should I wait longer for engine and tranny to cool down?


Thanks,

Sounds to me like you had traction problems in sports mode. It can be tricky.

 

Try in sports mode with traction control.

 

In my car ( with LSD ) that combination kills all the power.

 

In my N/A car, the sport mode revs way past the 6200rpm power peak,
up over 6800. So, maybe you're staying near the peak when out of "S".

Motor trend did 0-60 in 5.2s and 1/4 in 13.7 @103.8 in your car, when
new. (point of reference?)

Good reference
Since my car has no traction issues with only the stock power, I'm getting 0-60 in 5.0 without traction control and a much slower 6.0 with. Just ran two 13.8 sec 1/4 mile runs at 85 degrees F air temp
