Picked up the car last week. Here are my dragy results. Car is bone stock with 1/2 tank of 93. Didnt brake boost to hard at all just left the line easy. Will try again in the next few weeks to see if I cam better the times. I think the 121mph trap speed seems right for a stock S. Any thoughts?
My car has 11k miles and I was doing 3.9 0-60 and 11.8@119 using draggy. Pretty consistent over two weeks of varying weather.
This past week I simply changed the filters which obviously has 11k miles on them to brand new mann OEM filters. For the past 3 days, I've been doing 3.7 0-60 and 11.6-11.7@ 121-122
So, these cars may be sensitive to dirty filters
Mines is 100 bone stock, factoring the industry standard 1ft timing, that's 0-60 in 3.43! I'm very happy

For the last almost 20 years I run K&Ns in everything, but lately they seem to be getting a lot of bad reviews.
this one in particular made me not buy then for this car https://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html
Having said that, considering I've picked up .2 and 3mph in the 1/4 by simply running a clean filter... There actually might be something there :shrug:
I'm sure you know how, but I did make a quick how to vid
What is the significance of the 'low satellites' / invalid in the upper right hand corner?
I have not used my Dragy unit yet, but want to see how the E63 does before tuning, but winter is socked in pretty hard here (along with my winter tires).
What is the significance of the 'low satellites' / invalid in the upper right hand corner?.
I've tried launch control and brake boosting just below 2000 RPM, both yield the same results so far.
I've been finding If I try to turn on draggy with a lot of trees around, sometimes it won't get enough satellites to say valid, but if I turn it on like 5 minutes before, no issues.
If they are not valid, you just can't upload them to the draggy website to compare with others.

So this morning I had one opportunity for another run with no trees, got basically the same time but valid. I used race start on this one.
Again, bone stock. 3.46 and 11.69@122.
On another note, I have a friend with a CTS-V3, about 850rwhp. He was messing with his draggy yesterday and could not get a 0 to 60 time under 5 seconds lol. His 8th mile time was over half second slower than mine, yet his trap speed in the 8th was almost 10 mph faster. Tons of power, but can't get it to the ground.
Do you stalk me? I did my BMC air filters on Thursday and was thinking about making a video, and bam here it is. haha
Haha, I just started a YouTube channel, for now I've named it exotic car diy. I hope to just document and show that basically anything can be done to any car DIY. I've done all the maintenance on all my cars including my 355, I'm just going to film anytime I do anything now. The only problem, is I hate being on video lol

How many miles? When was the last time you changed the air filter? for me it netted me 0.2 in both the 0 to 60 and quarter mile time just by getting a clean filter in there Maybe try resetting the computer and trying again?
