Mansory custom GT-S
Surprised the 0-60 times weren't better with additional +200hp. I'm guessing larger turbo takes time to spool up?

Could be traction issues. You can get the turbos spooling for.a.launch. it could also be a BS hp number. No way to really tell.

For what its worth they only reported 0-62 at 3.4 compared to stock 0-60 at 3.5. My guess is the extra power is harder to control off the line.
