Question Zero to 20mph times in an ATX

This would probably require some sort of stop watch or you counting to 3 Mississippi as you watch the speedometer. Please be safe if you do this. Maybe have someone else with you to watch traffic or even do it on an empty lot. I'm troubleshooting a situation with bog down and I'm just wanting a lil reassurance that I still do actually have a problem with my car.

So what are your 0 to 20mph times?

For me it is taking at least 3 seconds with OD on and ECONOMY mode on.

__________________
Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt

A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Body kit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performance intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some 3000gt's Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therefore not always considered rice, but it really depends on the severity of the case.

I'll have to count using a shorter state like Ohio, I doubt I could get a single Mississippi out before hitting 20.

Also, you need to ask for similar cars, The TT or a 5-6 speed is gonna be completely different than an ATX.

Its not going to take a full three seconds to hit 20 mph. I don't know exactly how long it takes, but its not three seconds.

Did you ever get a chance to check your TCU for codes? I haven't had a chance to check your other threads, but I'll read through them in a little bit.
