Did a little more performance testing

Car has done 1200 miles now.

During a quick break in the rain popped out and did a couple of runs

Did two runs in Sport mode auto no traction and with traction control, road surface not perfect but fairly dry, performance is getting better 0-100 is coming just below 11 seconds with traction off and a little more with.

Runs

Traction on, fairly gentle launch but still intervenes a little

Traction off, there is slight hesitation around 90 for some reason in this run costs 1/4 to 1/2 a second otherwise would have been closer to a respectable 10 seconds 0-100
