WOT run in my V6 UPDATED with 0-60 run

[Horse]

I updated my OP to include a 0-60 run for you guys.

Is 6.0 sec your new personal best? Or you have been getting 6.0 for a while?

Mine is being built tomorrow (build date 11/10). I should be able to report soon (I hope).

Congratulations! Hope it will be delivered soon.

I just order v6 with 3.55 manual also, can't wait!

I picked up this exact car, specs wise, last Thursday. I have had it about a week now and we have had snow cover and ice since I got it. I don't know what it will do, because I can't really get on it that much in these conditions.
TY, manual, V6 of course, 3:55 rear, spoiler delete, and with all the snow, floor mats!

How does the V6 feel with the 3.55 gears?

 

[Renaultfool]

I really like it! I had a 2008 V6 that I drove for 160,000 miles, with no problems that required the dealer,(I put on my own brakes) and my new 2015 with the manual revs just about the same on the highway. 2,000 rpm at about 65 mph.
First gear seems a little low, like a creeper gear, but you need that in traffic. I wouldn't want it any lower for driving, but in a traffic jam it could be lower. Hopefully I won't spend much time in traffic jams!
I am just an old gear head, and I like the 3:55. Besides, the V6 is a short stroke engine that likes revs! The peak power is in the 4K-5K range.
I don't remember what rear gear was in my 2008 because it was just an off the lot car, so whatever came stock I would imagine.

@Renaultfool

Yea I think our cars will be the same look/spec wise I ordered TY / v6 / MT / 3.55 / Spoiler Delete / 18'' Wheels. Could you post some pictures of your ride? Mine should arrive mid/late January...I hope. When I saw a TY at the dealer I didn't think twice about the color choice.

Renaultfool,
Have you managed to do a 0-60 run or two? I'd really like to see how it compares to a 3.15 car (in addition to being MT which has shorter 1st and 2nd gears). I've been trying to find a V6 manual to test drive but they're so hard to come by.

Well, if it ever quits raining and snowing here in Ohio, I will. The day I picked it up it started to snow, and between that and rain there has been little dry time.

Has anyone else done their 0-60 runs? I'm curious for other people's times, I've done a 6.2 consistently which isn't bad since I've only been driving standard for about a week and it's 40 degrees outside

I think I might have freed up some power in my 6 with my exhaust!
With OEM mufflers my best was 6.0. Now its 5.5! Now image what would happen if I remove the center resonator!

That's pretty crazy I have the same 0-30 which means my launch is good but my 1-2 shift needs some work but idk how the hell you can drop .5 sec with just a muffler, did you tune at all?

I have not done anything to my car except the exhaust! No tune, same 87 octane gas, same average temp outside. Nothing has changed except my exhaust! What's even more crazy is that before when I did my 0-60 on OEM mufflers it would chirp the tires on launch with traction control off. Now, tonight when I did my updated run this car fully excitued a burnout with some sideways action before straightening out and chirping into second gear. It is absolutely crazy the apparent gain in power from just a muffler change.

What kind of mufflers are you running?
