I can tell you that if it does carry over it makes it into an entirely different car. I haven't had to say "it's slow but the handling is amazing" to any passengers since switching over. Still not a fast car by any means but respectable. It is funny though can tell the reputation that's out there by who eggs me on to race. Today it was some souped up yellow neon or something, ha. Nothing fast even bothers. I like that though, with the E85 it's a sleeper off the line but has a lot more pull, and still mellow enough to be able to floor it pretty early in most corners without losing the rear end. Still point and shoot but a different car under throttle.

So let me start off by saying that drag racing this car is the farthest thing from my mind. I haven't even tried to launch it until just now, but know that people are wondering. Happened to catch a straight bit of road before rush hour and also happened to be working on a camera setup for something unrelated. This is on E85. Think it's around 6 secs, so guessing if some mags are getting 7.2 and I'm a crappy driver when it comes to launching, then people should easily be dropping a second off of the stock tune 0-60. Car is 100% stock aside from the Visconti E85 tune.

Edit: Thanks xjohnx I suck at embedding!

Verified 6.14 seconds via frame by frame of original video. Think with a good launch it would easily be under 6. I'll leave that for someone else!

Hey John have you had a chance to run 100+ octane in a car yet? I was wondering how much of a gain that would produce? Probably not as much as E85 but for some of us its the only option we got :p

I've been reading this thread for weeks, still think I've missed a bunch though.

Do you need a PC to run the Ecuteck software? My only laptop is a mac. I'd love to get this tune, but can't afford a new comp too.
