Default Couple of Vbox Quarters I ran with my car the other day

It's really not ideal to be running quarters in the heat but since the car is new to me and I wanted to test out the launch control I took the car for a run out to some of my local spots for car joy. Here are a couple of the better quarters I was able to get using launch control.

They were 11.0x and 124.x or 125 depending on how you like to measure trap speed. The averaged version is the lower one.

Meant to comment on the 0-60 stuff and the 60 ft times. I have a F10 M5 that I have modded to about 650hp or more based on quarter trap speed estimates. I cannot do better than 2s 60 ft time and 3.9s 0-60 is the best I can do because of wheel spin. I am amazed how easy it is to get sub 3s 0-60 and 1.7s and even 1.6s 60ft times with this car. I love that aspect of it and the launch control is just a hoot with and without traction control enabled.

They don't get included with the 1/4 data. Here is the best one of those. Turns out that I was quoting 1ft rollout times that were sub 3s.

This one is 3.0 from a stand still and 2.82 from 1ft rollout.

Nice. What VBox setup do you have? Are you thinking about any performance mods?

I have the Performance Box and use the SD memory card to transfer the data to the computer for analysis. The vboxtools.com website will analyze the data or you can use the tools that come with the package.

Here is a quarter I ran today on a better road and earlier in the day. It was only 80 F and altitude was only 75ft.

This one is 1.6s 60ft, 10.9 @ 125.1

The car already has the FVD exhaust with the 200 cell cats. I am planning to put on the Brombacher headers and do the GIAC tune. It should really rip up top after that. This car is sort of slow past 120 compared to my m5 which pulls really hard above 100mph.
