Drag/Acceleration Experiment: 0-60 in valet mode (jb4 map 4)

[Ecobust]

I wanted to see how much valet mode neuters the 3.3 so I did a quick 0-60 using my dragy. I was amazed; took me back to my teen years and trying to drag in my 145 hp V6 Ford Probe LX, lol.

If I had a teen driver I would likely only let them drive in valet mode:

Hyundai/Kia's non-TT 3.3 makes around 290 hp. I'd think that would move the Stinger to 60 a little quicker than your time suggests. Also, the 250 hp 2.0t Stinger gets to 60 in 6-6.5 seconds

Does valet mode do more than just remove boost from the picture? Deactivate cylinders or something? Or do you live in the mountains?

lol nice!! We call it 2L mode.

Last night I jokingly told a friend I could beat him in valet mode so we had a quick race. During the race, I started limping and got CEL with code p0000. I couldn't find a description online.

I was able to clear it, and don't plan on using map 4 often, so not a big deal. Just curious though if you've ever seen this or know what could cause it.....

Probably just an under boost fault, the VALET map is a work in progress.

Is valet mode extra saving on fuel consumption? Any danger on running map 4 on lengthy rides?

I'm curious on having Valet mode on for a lengthy period as well. i.e. first time driver.
