It may be good to share your elevation and any other pertinent details for comparison sake.

I haven’t launched mine yet, but I will.

Okay, I’m at 1200mi and performed my 1st and 2nd launches this evening.

Since this is a Launch and Learn, I’ll start with some lessons learned.
- I should have probably watched a couple of videos before my first attempt.
- The road I chose does have a slight incline, but it was a safe road with a good surface, so I gave it a go.
- I had no idea what the gauge was reading. I am positive my setting was at 3200rpm, but I swear the display gauge was at 2900.
- With all of that going on, engine screaming, and me power braking, I finally just let go of the brake. That’s when I realized I wasn’t at WOT.
- Self-filming would have been better had I hit the record button…

Elevation: 1k’
Temperature: 65deg

First 0-60 attempt: 4.7s
- Sport Mode

Let things cool down and gave it another attempt. I set it to 3400rpm for this one, and launched at WOT this time.

Second 0-60 attempt: 4.6s
- Auto Mode (Forgot to return to Sport after my cool down)

I’m sure I’ll never do 0-100, and may never “launch” it again, but it was definitely fun and this 6000lb brick can really move!

I learnt you can get very good low 4s numbers if you launch on road that is slightly sloped downward!

Do you have some numbers? I’m curious how much that would affect the times.

it does a lot actually.. from what I've noticed, the bigger the hill the shorter the 0-60

I’m heading to Pismo Beach and the dunes has anyone tried launching in the sand
