- My experience is that the best 0-100 times are set on cold days. The engine performance drops noticeably with increased heat.
- Less wheelspin is not always an advantage in such tests.
As an example, I used to have a 1990 BMW E30 318iS. The factory claimed 0-100 km/h in 9.9 seconds. I did a 7.9 second run (GPS logged) with studless winter tyres and limited slip differential on a very cold winter day, with lots of wheelspin. I think the engine was over 5000 RPM the entire run because of tyre slip.

E-diff is always enabled. In four years owning the car I have never once experienced only the inner tire spinning. I have plenty of power (440 crank in the video) so cold or not does not matter - you can also see in the video the TC is still at work at quite high speeds.
