Has anyone noticed this 0-60 time on a link from another thread. My 05 certainly feels faster than the 7.5 to 8.0 second times I have seen published

Most things I've seen say anywhere from 7 to 7.55 seconds.... and that feels about right. I haven't run it flat out 0-60 yet, only have 2200 miles.

MO is pretty peppy, but I don't know that I'd call it "fast"

Thanks for the link. The accel times vary as mush as the reported gas mileage.

are you testing 0-60 in 'D' or in 'Ds'

I have a G-Tech that I was going to try out once the MO was broken in. It has 1600 miles on it now, but it is at the dealer for the drivetrain vibration problem. I'll try a few 0-60 runs when I get it back. I'm guessing a little under 8 seconds.

My personal 0-60 yr. time seemed to go by like a flash!

I do not know if it would make a lot of difference. It seems that if you started at low RPM in either range, and then applied full throttle, RPMs would go to 6000 in either case. Certainly partial throttle acceleration and rolling response in Ds is peppier. Someone with more experience can answer that. I only have 1400 miles so am being careful.

Hey Don, you have not broken in your MO yet, have you?

Ds (or S) and L give snappier acceleration during the first second when starting from a stop. There are doubts that these provide faster 0-60 times. I feel they give faster times, and at some point I would like to take some measurements.

I have noticed its much harder to get the engine to near-redline without it being in S mode.

Of course I didnt actually try very hard, and didnt redline in either case since we are still in break-in...

But my guess is S mode sure wouldnt hurt!

I agree... I've taken mine to 70 Mph from a stop light, in L.

The transmission software is smarter than we are.
