So I just started messing with my tune last week. A couple of days later, our 1/4 mile track reopened, so I figured this would be a good time to get a couple of runs in.

Caveat: I am not a professional driver. I don't know the torque curve, and launching a car with LRR tires is a *****. Once I experiment more, I should be able to do this in manual mode to get better times...

This may be an odd question but what is your insurance running on these cars guys?? Wasn't sure if it was bad or not
 
I need updates! im legitimately looking to buy one of these or a TDI and new comparisons likes/dislikes, much appreciated! tater
 
No issues here, my to be wife drives about 100 miles a day and at 17k miles no issues thus far. Had the car for a week and drove From Pittsburgh, PA to the coast of VA and the fuel mileage gauge was reading 53.Xmpg. I did hand calculate it and it was pretty close to that I just cant recall exactly what it was. My biggest complaint about the car is that there is no room in the back seat and no spare tire. Other than that its been a great car. Will have had it 1 year in September I believe.
 
quick update to this thread, have 4200 miles on my cruze and took it to the track, best in stock form was 16.31 @ 86 with a 2.18 60'.
