    Previously pre remap

    17.525@91.16mph S60 D5 185BHP standard car.
    Also the 98 mph is a bit dubious with only a 16.5 more like 88 I would have thought

    I think that looking back at other stats recorded that they are a bit random...I do have one that has a similar quarter mile time but at around 89MPH, possibly there is a delay before it starts on some of them....so time to trash the phone app, and look at a propper run..

    That's a high terminal, that would suggest that there's a much lower time in the car

    hate to dissapoint you but there has been an obvious terminal speed error you need at least 300 bhp to get 103mph, where are you?
