0-40 2.7 / 3.3
0-50 3.7 / 4.8
0-60 4.5 / 6.0
0-70 5.7 / 7.9
0-80 7.0 / 9.6
0-90 8.4 / 11.3
0-100 10.0 / 13.9
Passing 45-65 mph 1.8 / 2.8 s
Quarter mile 12.9 sec @ 114.9 mph /14.4 sec @ 101.9 mph
If the guy can't master the electronics, he won't achieve the optimize mode and you will eat him.
Looks like they have figured out how to properly use the I drive and launch control. One thing is clear, if you remove the rev limiter, the car will easily exceed 200mph.
Go for it!
