Got my OBD2 adaptor in yesterday and spent some time setting it up last night.

Had 2 rather poor attempts at 0-60 while commuting into work in rush hour traffic.

Run 1:
Time - 8s
Conditions - slight damp, smooth road, ambient temp 0.5C. Car was up to running temp after 30 minutes regular driving
Details - Put the car in sport+, launched with 1st gear at around 2k rpm and floored it, quite a bit of wheel spin, missed the shift and bounced off the limiter. 2nd gear bounced off the limiter again then missed 3rd gear and went straight into 5th. Bit of a disaster to say the least

Run 2:
Time 7.2s
Conditions - same as above only rougher road surface.
Details - Launched from traffic lights using 2nd gear in Sport+ again. Still a fair bit of wheel spin but felt a bit more controlled. Shifted to 3rd around 4,5k and got a good shift this time. Backed off towards the end as was fast approaching another set of lights and was worried I was going to die.

I think that with a fully committed run i could get the claimed time and possibly better it marginally. A trip to the nearest industrial estate errrr, I mean private track this weekend for some proper tests.
