My goal hopefully for Sept this year is attend the Loring Time Trials 1 and 1.5 mile course. I know a forum member, RUSH, I believe a while back did very well and ran a time of 10.90 in the qtr mile, 176mph in the 1 mile and 192mph in the 1.5 all from a dead stop. Think those numbers are correct?? .Very close to 200 indeed !!
Trabots can you program the box to do a measured distance and a starting mph ?? Meaning I want to start a run at 60mph and travel 1/2 mile and than end the run.

My V-box is the old style and only allows speed intervals.

Yeah I have the dragy and I love it. You can custom setup different speeds if you want. I particularly love the leaderboard being able to compare your times with others around the world, obviously on different platforms to.. Can spend hours checking that out. Great tool to have

I ordered my Dragy and it should be here this week. Since 1/4 mile strips are rather rare in Germany and our main metric is 100-200 kph, I could set the dragy to 60-130mph and compare it to times posted here. I haven't done many mods to my car yet, but I've logged the before and after times and the results were surprising. Stock (with pump upgrade to Pierburg CWA100) 100-200 was 9.3s @20°C. I changed my headers to Renntech midtube headers with empty pre cats and stock E63 exhaust and my 100-200 pull was 8.3s @16°C, while still being on stock Software. I'll remeasure for 60-130 with the dragy before changing my throttle body, and getting my ecu mapped and then after. My previous runs were done with a borrowed Qstarz,which doesn't show slope unfortunately.

If I remember correctly my 55-150 was 9.6 seconds. Don't know where that rates performance wise as Inever compared it to another E55. Hope to drop that this April to bottom 9's if I can.
