Excellent!! You're going to post a timeslip (1/4 mile I assume) to prove your assertion that a stock S2k can go 0-60 in 5.2 seconds? Yet you admit that it won't provide a 0-60 time (the whole purpose and title of this thread BTW)?
Wow, you've clearly proven me wrong!
Care to change the topic again???

At this point I've already stated that I've had 5.3 on a properly calibrated accelerometer. It was run while at a track, so I had a timeslip to verify the accuracy of the acceleromter. I'm a moderator here, and long time member, so I would like to think my word probably counts for something.
If you aren't going to contribute to the thread, then I ask you refrain from responding further so we can get the thread back on track.

Uh, NO TRACK IN THE WORLD gives you a 0-60 time. So no, his timeslip won't have a 0-60 time on it. Why? oh yeah, because 0-60 times are measured using acceleromters.

Good answer....change the topic of the thread to a new one? I guess you're still searching for a "5.2 source"?

There's your "reliable" 5.2 source, since obviously you don't trust anything except a magazine. Can the dissenters stop bickering now please and let the thread get back on track?

And yes, it is very possible to break your differential by downshifting "just driving down the road".
ing reason this past week or so a lot on the freeway. Something i dont usually have occuring, is that going to affect nething? n i have downshifted quickly into a lower gear n going WOT, will that affect anything? affect the motor mounts? differential? anything at all? thanks.
