Who are you asking?I note you have the sunroof. Thats pretty heavy ... and your sig denotes 20 in HRE wheels - what tires? Do you have the 2nd charger? All these factors will affect your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times
Excellent. Looking forward to your review.My battery is back and installed. Picked the car up yesterday. One of my rears is corded on the inside (20K miles, PSS using longer upper links) so I've not had a chance to beat on it yet

I got my upgraded P85D back earlier this week and I have to admit I am a bit surprised.
It may just be my "butt dyno" being different than others, but somehow I expected more from this upgrade, following all the glowing comments here.
I have to admit that I have only used Ludicrous without battery pre-heating and I can definitely feel the improved acceleration at highway speeds, but am less enthusiastic off the line and during 30-80 runs.
Especially in the latter scenario I notice less "head snapping" than others here described.
Am I the only one feeling this way or is the 0.2s difference the culprit?

elect,
I'm kinda in your camp on this one. Worth the money but not a game changer for me.
I hate to even think what one would "pay" in the ICE world for such improvement.
Notice I put the word "pay" in quotes.
That's because in addition to what one would "pay" in terms of the modifications necessary to obtain such an improvement, one would also "pay", the loss of a powertrain warranty.
An improvement like this in an ICE vehicle would let the manufacturer off the hook for any powertrain difficulties which came afterwards.
Let's just keep it at "this is a good deal for factory upgrade". Lots of cars over the years have had cheap mods that could in some cases dramatically increase the power and even in those cases it didn't always automatically void the warranty.
The 300ZX Twin Turbos of the 90s (I've owned 3 of them) could easily increase power from 300 to 396 (flywheel and dyno proven) with a simple mode to raise boost from 9 to 14 psi and a fuel map change in the prom to add extra fuel for safety at the higher boost. The cost ranged from anywhere from $0 if you had the tuner knowledge yourself to a $400 if you were paying a reputable company like Jim Wolf Technologies. If you wanted more power than that, it became very expensive quickly because the first extra 100 ponies could be supported by the existing power train and fuel system, but after that you had to add larger injectors, larger turbos, intercoolers, exhaust, headers, etc. Above 600 fwhp, you'd have to add a transmission that could handle the power.
The supra already came with much larger injectors and with very little money, the stock power train could go from 300 to 450 hp. A few simple bolt ons brings that up to 500+. All dyno proven time and again.
Of course these would in theory void the warranty, but if you're just a stage one in these cars, you could return boost to stock and throw the stock eprom back in before bringing your broken car in for warranty work (not here to debate the ethics of that).
