Acceleration

[PR76UDE52]

That is a nice setup. I've seen people post YouTube videos of their 0-60 mph and use a stop-watch as a timer - always they are way, way off. I've counted the video frames (usually YouTube is 30 fps, but each video shows the rate in the 'info') and commented on the video w/ the actual 0-60 mph time.

And then there was the very first 0-100 kph video from a guy in Japan that reported 9.2 - turned out he had traction control enabled and it was a rainy day...

So an iPhone on the dash I tap to start the timer on isn't accurate???

Hah! Yeah, it is 'accurate' to about +- 1 second accuracy.

...the next run was in Sport mode, S+ off, fully brake-torqued....

No fake gear changes this time, and a significantly faster 0-60 mph time of 6.5 secs.

That's a BIG difference. What I like most is the pickup from, say, 20 to 50; it really flies (I have the Civic until next week). This is what makes them such enjoyable cars in day to day driving.

September 1st can't come quick enough, still waiting for mine :'(

And me, I think they were a bit optimistic with my delivery date, probably deliberately; I reckon mine is on the same boat as yours, lol.

Mine arrived a month earlier than expected!

I was told I could have had it within 2 weeks of ordering, but I intentionally delayed it to September for the 76 plate.

Looks like mine will be a 76 plate. The good thing is, despite the delay, the dealer has said my PX price will be honoured.

Ah mine refused to do that, though I am trading in a ratty Vauxhall Ampera worth about 50p so I'm not too upset.
