Manuals are so much easier, and much more fun for this kind of thing.

It still amazes me though, that my best 0-60 on my 3300lb E36 M3 (with tune and intake) was 5.2, and my 5000lb SUV beats that by at least 1/2 a second.
Pretty much the same as you. I am using a GTech meter but it's very consistent. Brake stand to 2500-3000 and then let go and have it shift for you.

I have never done a quarter mile time but I would expect it to be up there with the F15 50i which one magazine tested in the high 12s. In all honesty, anything under 13.5 would be great.

I'm going to do a few runs when it gets a bit warmer and before I put in Terry's Stage 2 beta.
