Does the youtube video show them using a p or vbox to datalog 0-60. If it is of the stop watch variety, that is not very accurate. With that being said with the flat torque curve that this powerband will have, I would not doubt a high 5 second/low 6 second 0-60. With a tune that takes out some of the torque management and ups the power, a mid 5 second run should be attainable.
Yes, it is of the stop watch variety
for I'm the one using the stopwatch (for the most part it is accurate enough for me - it's always been within .1 or.2 seconds on anything I used it for - .1 seconds is, to me, pretty negligible) .
The driver of that ex was holding a camcorder aimed at the speedometer while he floored it. Yeah. I guess my standards are kind of low.
I definitely understand what you mean by using a professional datalog system. It was difficult for me to hit that point where the vehicle just starts to move. Part of it too is the driver. Many of the reports from car and driver, motortrend
as well as other review companies have given the explorer a 7.5-8.5 0-60. Assuming these reviewers use similar equipment, why such a big difference between companies that use similar equipment? Would the driver have anything to do with it? Probably. If you watch a video, film camera speed would likely affect it too.

I agree with you about the high 5 second/low 6 second 0-60 range - it should easily be attainable. However 6.7 seconds is not a "low" 6 second range, it's fairly high - more mid, but fairly high. But then again, the Driver, a potentially "non-broken-in" engine and some rough roads might account for
most of that (within reason). So, maybe 6.7 is fairly accurate. I don't know, We'll have to see what this car do with a good driver and "broken in" motor.
I'm sure they will be coming soon.
