Hahaha! Naw I'm not mad or get mad about it I've been working on cars and other peoples car and I hear good things and bad things all the time like for instance "why did you supercharge a hybrid what a waste of money" or my favorite "you wasted your time doing that to a hybrid and you killed hour mpg" I just learn to laugh about it educate people and give them a ride on the car (depends if I know the person). So far the best reaction I've gotten is "omg this would be awesome on the track" coming from the gt-r forum members.

C-RZ Supercharged cvt idle launch - YouTube

Here is the idle launch. And just a little FYI I'm not gonna rev then launch like you 6mt guys can sorry. Also I timed this I get about 8 seconds 0-60 time. Paddle shifter 0-60 video will be posted some other time right now got to wash the car and make it presentable for cars and coffee meet in irvine

Looks a lot better.

Yeah cars and coffee sunday morning here. Getting all washed, polished, and waxed tomorrow afternoon.

Damn its kinda disappointing. The improvement does not equal $5k + install labor... so it went from 11 seconds 0 to 60 stock to 8 seconds?

So far as I can tell it helps A LOT! One thing I did notice my hybrid battery meter is always at 90-100% full and in up hills that meter was little over half. I've yet seen that meter go low like I used to see it before.

0-60 means nothing. This number is always going to vary from driver to driver, elevation to elevation. There are too many variables. I guarantee if you drive it, you will forget all about 0-60 times.
