REVOLUTIONARY RESULTS - Dragstrip database update notification thread

added

ZCD (the BMW embarrasser) 12.47@110
rynurz 12.04 @ 115

both times at Great Lakes Dragway a couple of weeks ago

rynurz your car makes some killer trap speed from a pretty simple modlist. 115 is damn impressive considering you’re catted

I am waiting for some details on a K04 B5 S4 that just went LOW 11s @ 120+ MPH. Reminding everyone jumping on the tial bandwagon that K04 with good tuning will still whip some ass!

Not quarter mile but thought I would share what the Golf R stage III guys are doing. This is a 6MT customer of ours in florida who ended up beta testing the kit for us. It’s about a second faster in the 100-200 kph than the DSG GIAC Extreme LOBA 4xx 460HP claimed stuff I see in europe. He’s hitting the drag strip and just got his hands on the p-box so he’s been going nuts sending me data, and I’m not objecting because he can clearly shift.

Screen isnt accurate though. get the file reviewed too.

Why isn’t the screen accurate? Are you only talking about rounding on the single decimal place?

No i’m talking about it being off by a couple to a few tenths VS the actual data in the file. The file is what everyone uses. The file also proves elevation change as well, which is important.

Ask tsivas since you don’t seem to believe me… I’ve told you this about four times lol. Last time you said “ours won’t read to the card anymore” as your reason for not sharing the files. I can dig it up for you.

I don’t think that the golf r stage 3 p box info was pertinent to this thread at all…

vwrevolution.net lol

Can you tell me why it’s not accurate? That’s all I’m asking. I’m not disagreeing with anyone and I do understand the importance of elevation change.

I compare MY runs to MY OWN times and I always start at the same location. So, while my times may not be comparable to the rest of the world given any elevation changes, is the information I see on the screen accurate to me? If not, why? What’s different?

The VW Golf R and Audi S3 are nearly identical. I also started my post with “Not quarter mile but thought I would share what the Golf R stage III guys are doing.”

I can’t explain why the screen is inaccurate. I can just complain about it :slight_smile: I generally ignore the screen anyway. It doesn’t reveal the elevation (huge factor) and it doesn’t tell the truth about the times…so it’s irrelevant to me frankly. If I were a multi million dollar tuning company…and wanted a performance test for my cars without driving 90 minutes to the dragstrip, I think I would shell out for a working PBOX rather than insisting on using the screen. It’s $500…and I bet you can sell the old one for $300.

FYI the older ones can only use SD cards, not SDHC cards. Maybe that’s your problem?

If you are comparing YOUR times to YOUR times (not sure the need for caps) that’s great. However…

  1. you are not comparing anything to anything, since you never posted any ‘before’ times

  2. you are posting VW info on an Audi forum

  3. you are posting pbox info in a 1/4 mile thread

Don’t be surprised when guys are confused. As for the relevance of it being ‘S3 equivalent’ that’s not helping 96% of us since the S3 isn’t sold where 96% of us live.

p.s. Are you taking your Stage 2 S4 to the dragstrip any time soon? Or the S7? Or the S8? Would love to see info on this armada of cars you guys have amassed.

Ya let’s get some AUDI info…screw the golf R…keep that shit for the vortex

x2 on the s7 and s8 performance info… No need to jump on anyone for posting a golf-r time. If I end up getting one myself I’ll make sure to spam this thread with vw times :stuck_out_tongue:

Well don’t forget Meistah this is the Dragstrip Database Update Notification thread. It is not for random acceleration data.

It’s a thread guys subscribe to so that when I update the database with times, they get subscription notifications.

Here’s the description of the purpose of this thread, from the OP.

Ok I won’t forget Sakimano.

So this still doesn’t tell me anything.

If the screen says 8.0 seconds 62-124 mph, if I look at the data, will 62 mph to 124 mph = 8.0 seconds? If not, where are the discrepancies? Rounding on the first decimal place?

I’ve tried an SD card. It still doesn’t work.

Probably not.

Maybe on these. Probably once software is finished.

Probably not.

  1. Not sure what it will say on the file…however my experience…and Tsivas’ experience, has been that the screen is ‘optimistic’ if you would. For example, auditurd ran his dad’s car and the screen showed 3.6 seconds 0-60 mph. That sounds a bit optimistic for a car that was cutting modest 60 foot times. Reviewing the file it showed he went 3.9 seconds I believe. Tsivas can chime in.

  2. that’s a bummer…was hoping it was the SD vs. SDHC thing

  3. too bad…would have been a chance for a B8 S4 MT6 car to FINALLY beat the two RS4 guys who ran 12.2 and 12.4 with not even a tune :slight_smile:

  4. looking forward to it

Arin, if you need drivers for all those cars at the strip, we’d be glad to help :smiley:

I suck so I’ll stick to the DSG stuff.

We do have Ian Baas working for us full time in sales (and driving)

Video - turn it up . . .

From the few runs I did the readout was off also… Showed 3.3 and 3.4 0-60s when the card showed 3.7 and 3.8… No clue why?

Arin, We need baseline numbers on the s7 and s8:). Also, don’t worry about times on the stage3 s4, I’ll handle those:). Lol

Just a housekeeping entry from another post, just so we have another GIAC time on there. Although, I wonder if the reason it’s not there is because we only have one timeslip, rather than two?

The slip is in the video right here: http://youtu.be/WoCTPgHmTk8?t=25s

Oh snap yeah… Totally forgot. I have another of his timeslips…when he raced me.

His car is for sale at Oakville audi if anyone wants to go 12.8 @ 110
