Default I am thinking of how did they(AOA)record the time 0-60 for the tip ?

hi all

do you all think they use just regular D mode to record or they use semi-auto (+/-)to record
the time for 0-60 b/c AOA and magazines have different record time?
I always think they give us a wrong time b/c the first shipment of Tip had just arrived for 2/3weeks how do they know the time before the shipment arrive, btw there is no S4 Tip in Europe, do they cal. by computer? any advice...

Most likely they had a few test cars to record the time..

Default Audi will adjust the posted time to compesate for lots of factors

Car to car variation, track surface, altitude, moisture, wind, and how you launch the car. Most car mfrs will be conservative - and on the other hand some mags will just just dump the clutch and go for it all ( The car mags will also lie - note worthy case was the orginal C&D test of the orginal GTO by Pontiac).
