I traded up my 2011 pp with the 4+x tune on it I now have a 2013 with the 93 3 bar tune on it.....the tune made a huge difference as always but the 2013 doesn't seem to get to 60 as fast as the 2011 I had did......I don't believe premium fuel was used in this car before I owned it it is now on its second tank of 93 octane, I'm wondering if I have to wait for the car to adjust to the 93 but the initial "punch" I had with my 2011 just isn't the same with this 2013 off the line, im wondering if it may just not feel as quick because the suspension is tighter or I'm just losing my mind.....any other suggestions for me that can add the extra poweroff the line? (I only have about 90miles on the new tune)

This is going to be difficult with out actually timing it.

Your 2011 had PP, does the 13 have PP? The PP has a different gear ratio. There is also the size of the wheels.

Yea my 2013 is a pp with 20 inch wheels and my 2011 was pp with 20 inch wheels.....I'll have to try and time it when I get out of work

Better ergonomics in the 2013+ may make it SEEM like it's "slower". Or could be time to do all the maintenance checks, see if there's a leaky turbo hose or oil pooling in the pipes/intercooler, etc. Change the oil/air filters while you are at it :)

Weather permitting I will be running my 2013 at the track with similar mods to my 2011. Won't be an exact comparison of course and will be especially dependent on the DA but I should see if its in the ball park. I believe they will be close.

Yea could just be me thinking into it too much I'm sure they are around the same I am running 93 Oct full time with the tune that should help as I think the car was ran on 87 Oct before I owned it I got it with 28,000 miles on it.... Also do you have the factory remote start? I do and I got it to work maybe twice now every time I try to do it ...it flashes the four ways or just honks the horn once and doesnt start....have you heard of anything like this? If so what can I do

I do have the "built in" remote start and other than a ridiculously shirt range it works as intended. Not sure what to think about your issues.

Have you tried the trick for extending the range?

Got it from Top Gear...where you take FOB and press to your body then use. I test it all the time, by pushing end of it to the bottom of my jaw and clicking it...gets me about double the normal range.

That's funny... I do the same thing and point my arm towards the car. People look at me like I'm nuts.. Lol.. But it works

In regards to the 13+ cars being slower, they are going to "feel" slower. Like @SHOdded said better ergonomics combined with the 3 BAR tuning will be far more smooth. Thus feeling more slow! Our 3 BAR tuning is going to allow us better control boost creation and power delivery. So although the car is actually slightly quicker, and faster it will feel slower because it is far more smooth.
