Technique for 0-60mph best time
I was wondering if there's a special technique to get better 0-60mph time. How do you do it? redline every gear?

Redline every gear, learn very fast shifting - you really just have to be brutal, warm tyres, smooth road surface, empty as much unecessary stuff out the car - being picky can make all the difference, go on a diet even
The launch is probably more important than anything - minimise wheel spin, maximise torque |

For a better 0-60 time, should you disable DTC and/or DSC??

(1) Turn off traction control
(2) Rev to 3-*4000rpm, (3) release the clutch quickly but not too much. (4) Wot. Shift at redline. (5) Enjoy paying a premature clutch replacement. |

Take out all the unnecessary junk out of your car and fuel for the run. Do a burn-out to warm up your tires. Do an aggressive launch at 2,500RPM, and feather the clutch smoothly and progressively. Do not shift at redline, but rather just before redline. The best techinique is to add a supercharger though.

I would say that he's talking out of his ass, my CA told me that the warranty does not cover any wear and tear items, and clutch certainly qualifies as a wear and tear item. Unless you upgraded your warranty?

Why do you want a good 0-60 time? It's a standard metric used to compare cars, but in the real world it has no context.
How are you even measuring time? If you're using the speedo, you're already off in accuracy.
