I have no idea if this will help and up to what extent. It sounds logical, but what sounds good it is not always good! I have not tried it, so I cannot offer any advise.

From what I was told and also I understand, they do not offer 0-100km/h figures for 2 reasons:

1. This measurement is highly affected by the quality of the tarmac and the competence of the driver. Even the same driver cannot make to identical launches from 0km/h. The roling acceleration is more reliable.

2. The tunning box offers the most mainly on higher speeds, where the car seems to slow down. My experience was that the car felt quicker after 120 km/h and especially above the 150 km/h mark.
