    Thoughts? Just did one, but still was a little slower on my 0-60.

    First try. FUN!

    Advice please.

    What's my goal?
    2017 Contusion Blue GT AWD - Auto
    6.4 is my best so far.
    I tried normal mode, then Sport (4 wheel drive engaged).
    I tried Launch mode (twice) and just flooring it.

    6.3 !!! Crap.
    Back to work.

    Fun work - Do you think Sports Mode AWD should work better than regular mode rear wheel?

    I know when I drag raced heavy trucks, 4wd was the only way you would get down the track. Honestly 6.4 is good for your car it sounds like. You must be close to sea level in NY or at least under 500 ft elevation? My car doesn't come that close to its stats. I pulled this off a few weeks back at 7500ft elevation and it was mid 90s out. That's with no traction control and launch set at 3000 rpm. It's also a stick with the clutch valve removed. It's slooooow as all get out.

    Base SXT only options blacktop package, Nav, amp.. 0-60 in 5.7 sec using sport mode, traction control in sport mode, left in automatic mode. Only upgrade K&N drop in filter. Using 89 octane.
    My daily driver until my 24 year old son returns mine.
