My G-tech acceleration times
heres my 1st try i was shocked on how bad it was
0-10 . 34
0-20 1.47
0-30 2.53
0-40 4.01
0-50 5.49

Heres the better run, im pretty sure i can get it even lower
0-10 .6
0-20- 1.6

Funny how your(non-pro) times beat out what Porsche published.
How are you launching the car? What are you revving it to before you drop the clutch in?

There are several keys to using the G-tech with your car.
1. Don't take it too seriously. It's just a toy...for entertainment value.
2. You have to calibrate it correctly. This means setting the RPMs and calculating the weight accurately. I put my car on a DOT scale with me in it (as opposed to using on-line or magazine numbers that likely do not reflect my cars actual weight).
3. Above all, remember, Porsche's are not hammers (ie. dragsters), they're scalpels. If you want to go fast in a straight line there are better options. That said, if you have the G-tech Pro, check out the "g's" functionality.
Overall 6.4 is not bad but, you're right, you can probably do a little better. According to my site (see my signature) 6.0 is what the magazines (at least MT) were hitting.

you also have to include the correct weight of the car with you in it, did you do that?

yep, i was also with my brother so i had to add him to, and i did calibrate the rpm and its on exactly correct with tach, i know i can bring that number way down, i launched at about 2500 rpm, if i launch a little harder i think i can hit 6.0 flat, just stay tuned until tomorrow

Tomorrow's posts from you will be titled; "I Think I Need a New Clutch" and the other one will be "Where Can I Get The Best Prices On New Tires"!!
Take care & be safe!

1. It's actually VERY accurate in acceleration times. What it reads is what you've done.
2. Calibration for acceleration is easy, just be sure that it's held firmly in place and it's level when the car is level. Also be sure that the road is level and there is no wind or that you are doing 2-way trials. You only need weight and RPM for power calculations, it's not used for acceleration calculations. You can put in 10 pounds for weight and the acceleration and speeds won't change.

I never said it wasn't. I've got one, I know.

6.4 is pretty impressive considering you had dead weight in the passenger seat and you launched at a lowly 2,500 rpm. My boxster S bogs if I launch it that low...so I'm sure you're 2.5L would. Try revving higher and slipping the clutch a little instead of just dumping it.
