REVOLUTIONARY RESULTS - Dragstrip database update notification thread

[Arin]

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.

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?

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

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 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.

[euroswagr]

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

[Meistah]

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

[sakimano]

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.

This thread will serve as a ‘notifier’ of new additions to the audirevolution.net quarter mile database. As I have mentioned on a couple of the forums, the site owner has created a really cool database that is searchable/sortable and will have ALL relevant Audi quarter mile times added to it for the various platforms.

Subscribe to this thread (notify button) and you can then have an instant email update everytime something gets added to the list.

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?

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

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

Probably not.

Maybe on these. Probably once software is finished.

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

4. looking forward to it

[bangoman]

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

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 . . .

[primetime]

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

GIAC Stage 2 with AWE Tuning Pulley

Saki, Can’t recall for sure but I have read of a few over the past couple years… Didn’t one run with you guys at TMP the one time?

PT, you are indeed correct. It’s not in the database but I’m not sure why. Here’s a video, with a picture of the timeslip taken by my own hand:

http://youtu.be/WoCTPgHmTk8

12.88 @ 108.9 for the GIAC 91 car, user seinsmeld. IIRC he has since sold his car and got a 2013.

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

why, in case retarded people come to view the thread?

I think everyone knows what that means. It’s noted on the quartermile list that there’s a downpipes/catback column. It’s also noted early in this thread what that would be describing.

Here’s an example of the list with the columns…

[tweetss4estate]

Precisely, clarity removes assumptions… It’s your thread though.

[sakimano]

I don’t understand…what assumptions might people make?

They see that a B5 S4 has 3" catless/3.5" single

If anyone doesn’t know what 3" catless means, they’re not likely to

a) be on this web page in the first place
b) care what downpipes are anyway

I don’t think anyone is signing on, and saying ‘Was it a 3" rocketbooster and the owner prefers dogs?’. I just think you want to say ‘you’re wrong’ about something to me. Fine, say away. You showed me.
