JohnnyWas - 0-70 Launch

[JohnnyWas]

JohnnyWas's Six-Gen LX - 0-70 Shot

Yeah, so I've been taking some videos of myself to and from school. My cousin shoots. I drive.
Please take note, however, that my cousin is 280lbs, though. Kinda slows down my pace a little.

This clip is of a 0-70 launch up Southern Blvd. in the Bronx. It's kind of a hill, and it's kind of a gradual curve.
I'd say I took it rather nicely.

However, notice how my auto is timed. I'll get a better video soon that displays it in true performance, but for now, tell me what you all think. My rpm range is pretty nasty.
It's time with what I like to call "punch timing" - (at the peak of one gear, let off, tranny shifts, and punch the new rpm range of the following gear)

yeah, well, i took that curve pretty carefully at 30mph
it's too gradual, and the left lane has a horrible dip in it right before the straightaway

i can understand your displeasure.
straightaway videos are soon to come

What is the GIANT tach for?

ordered it not knowing how huge it would actually be.
oh well.

i just use the shift light

 

[Revolver]

The shift light... Are you serious?

 

[RiceburnerRyan]

you have an auto .. whats the use of a shift light ?

 

[JohnnyWas]

The shift light... Are you serious?

the way that my car is timed, it drives really hard to the top of each gear, and my revlimiter is reset
so unless i want to drive down 7k rpms in second, i have to let up around 6.5k, let off the gas, it shifts, and there i go - next gear

so, the shift light goes off around 6 - i use it.
so yes, im serious.

Speed Speed Boi!!! Hella work that automatic!!!

 

[psycho_chilla]

Shifting like that is how a friend of mine blew up his auto lude....

But the car looks awesome (i also watched the other vid)

 

[psycho_chilla]

blew up his tranny, since i didnt specify

 

[JohnnyWas]

blew up his tranny, since i didnt specify

Nah, see, I think I know what you're talking about, because a friend of mine did the same thing as well.
I don't shift through the D options, like 2, D3, or D4.
It's just that my car is timed really well. My dad did all the work w. me, and the guy knows his cars.

Hey, I'm not refuting anyone though.

And thanks for the compliment on the car. Much Appreciated.

It's actually some kids' mom's Volvo.

It's funny because if you think I owned her, my buddy's 400whp 5.0 'stang came flying up right after I did.
