Digits skip under hard acceleration
#26
Wut da F Y'all lookin' @!
A little off topic but kinda in the same realm,
Has anyone ever seen their turn indicators blink simultaneously under hard acceleration? I've seen it a couple of times. It happens very quickly.
BTW, that's right Black is fast enough to make this happen!

Got back in town and did a few brisk acceleration from the lights and noticed it again. Makes me wonder, how did the car mags get a accurate time from 0-60? I think i may seen the actual number "60" once or twice during my test. Usally around the ,57, 58, 59 mph it would skip to 62, 63 mph.
So could are cars be a hair quicker or slower than the estimated 5.9 ticks?

Turn indicators blink during hard acceleration? On the dash, or outside? If it's outside, I had a buddy who thought his 911 did the same thing - it turned out that it was just the nose tipping up during acceleration and the flash of the headlights ahead off of something metallic.
Digit skipping is normal; older domestic cars (look for this in older cabs) are horrible for this even at light braking and acceleration. Some even called it the 'estimat-o-meter' for its horrible accuracy to what your actual velocity might have been.
