Dragy GPS Timer from Santa and Results

Hi and hope that everyone that celebrates Christmas had a great one! That said, I was very good this year and Santa brought me a Dragy. I unwrapped it Christmas Eve day and set-up. For me, I just placed the unit on the tray in front of the cup holders and it sync'd up fine. I guess the windshield is raked enough that the gps signal picked up and it worked perfectly.
I live in a village that has all 25 or 35 mph roads. Some nice straight flat ones though. I was able to do two short runs and collect 0-60 and 1/8 mile times. I am very pleased with the results. The only mechanical modifications I have on the car are non-run flat Continentals and in the fall I sent my ECU to AMR for a Stage 1 tune.

Run # 1: 0-60: 4.23 1/8 mile: 8.07

Run # 2: 0-60: 4.03 1/8 mile: 7.88

The temp was 45. The only difference in the two runs is in #2 I put the shocks to a firm setting to keep the car flatter and power braked a bit. PE Exhaust was open on both. Coming out of a SL63 and then a GLE63 to the C43 (for all wheel drive having moved north from Florida) I was not sure about a small power added motor. Love the car though and very pleased with the performance.
Just wanted to share the positive results of my ownership and the understated ability of the C43.

What was your 1/8th mile trap speed on the second run?
