I am considering the purchase of a VBox Performance Box for my C63. I think this product would provide a good way to determine the best launch methods without having to go to a drag strip (or buy a helmet). It will give you the 60' times as well as the 1/4 and max velocity (or other distances if you want).

They are not cheap ($450) but I'm thinking it may be a good way to get something like 0-60 comparison times if you use it under safe conditions (empty country blacktop somewhere).

No. Drive S1 shifts automatically.
