Hey guys,

Tried to do 0-60 timings on my lexus gs350 F todaybut with no luck i get around 6.5 seconds
The thing is once i floor the throttle, the traction control starts to engage.
Tried many times with traction off but i get loads of smoke. Slowing me even more

Any suggestions ??

Apart from turning the traction control off, you must also use Normal or even Economy Mode so that upshifts are done further up the RPM range, to get maximum acceleration.
On Sports Mode, the upshifts will be earlier and lower in the RPM range, so your 0-60 mph times won't be as low...

Does anyone get the traction control engaging once u floor the throttle (everytime) ? Or is it just me ?

Gonna try that today .. I always select sport + to do my performance lap
Why didnt they put a launch control on that thing !!!

what kind of launching are you doing? What are your steps at takeoff?

You don't have enough power to need a launch control function, just need to know how to do it (if you don't already).

I'm curious to the steps as well. Pretty sure all I would do is floor the acc pedal and let the A/T do the work.

Usually, the 0-60 timings are done in manual mode to enable the car to get to the best/highest RPMs for each gear. Auto usually is slower to 60.

Did it today with the traction off, sport + mode and manual shifting ..
got 5.5 seconds .. seems that the traction control slows it alot ! plus a flat road with no dirt would help with the grip

Fast and no traction control engaging .. any thoughts?

How many miles do you have on the car before you took it to those pretty extreme limits?

Were you on a public road going 130MPH?

Looks like around 65~66 miles on the ODO.

Don't think you could've gotten much more out of that run except maybe the launch. AWD? I couldn't tell if you pre-loaded the launch, didnt seem like it from the rev.

BUT lol it's crazy to run your car that hard with only 65 miles on the odometer. Plus the whole public street thing...

I don't think that is his video. It says it was uploaded 4 months ago...

good catch... I thought it was an extreme improvement from his original post, lol. Threw me off when he posted again and said he gained a second.

guys the video from youtube is not mine !! it says ''130 mph! Professional international driver on a closed road - do not try this at home.''
I used racelogic today on my gs .. got 5.9 seconds 0-60, 1800 miles on the odo, two passengers in the car and the temperature was around 45 celsius/ 113 F ..
Gonna post a pic of the racelogic screen soon to verify !!
