Would DashCommand results be useful? I think a number of folks could get results that way.

i'm not familiar with that. does it print out a log. all we need is something to show time and mph.

I just watched some videos I have of speed runs on my car, just a crude method of watching the time on the phone, I ran 50-100 in about 6 seconds, Ill get an exact number later, Ill put the video in some editing sotware and get a more acutate time at least give us an idea... im at 322 whp, and Im fat... Na our cars are just slow...Im probably going to do a vsr top mount this spring...then we can talk some good numbers!

I am going to florida again for the first week of Feb to visit my grandparents, I am going to check out VSR perofrmance while im down there for possible turbo kit, when I get back I am going to take the car to work a throw it on a lift for a while and get my black friday goodies done I got from Z1, also a new lip and do a refresh on my fang paint, at lease give me something to do for a week or two.

the "i'm fat" part gave me a chuckle that you added that bit of info lol no shame in your game sir

It would look like this (only with data):

that looks nice. is it accurate at all? i'm guessing you could test it against a 1/4 mile slip at a track and see how close it is. i'm guessing the phone data would be a little longer since it uses movement for data start point and the track waits for you to break the lasers. that then depends on how deep youre staged and reaction etc. but if the times are similar that would be a nice app to have. also 1/4 trap speed would have to be close as well to be creditable.

I dont like that I am, always struggled with weight, but Im old enough now that I accept who I am and have other qualities besides six pack abs and dimples.

now its 6 pack of beer lol that makes everything better.....well except more 6 packs.

dash command, at least the version I had in my 350z carputer did not have that, but I would not trust it IMO, the software, at least then was a bit flaky, at least then it was.

ill take that if its from the ECU. this would be the most accurate since its just reading the speed sensor like your dash gauge is! but if its GPS or something, id rather have a video.

I think for 1/4 mile times, it would not be close enough (the measurement of distance by the car probably ain't that good). For time to speed, I'm guessing it would be passable (it is reading'speed from the car), but I'm not sure which is why I'm asking.

Anyone else?

hmmmm maybe put the cars weight with your weight then since that will be the most accurate.

hey man 6 seconds is fast! my wrx could run 11.7 in the 1/4 with a 6 something 50-100!! but you could never do that since you're RWD. but its nice to know, take the drive train out of the equation and we could run together on the highway or where we're supposed to, on a race track!

If you have the vbox/pbox or whatever you keep calling it, and are that concerned with $5-10, haha I will personally PayPal gift you $10, you can put a quarter tank of gas in, and get accurate readings for the rest of us members that actually want to know how our car ranks haha - in the meantime, ill try and get some filming and see if I can get to a safe track or road!

The point is that this car makes about 275rwhp, it's time is going to be similar to cars like the Evo with the same weight to hp ratio. The variance you get would be so small that you really have no way to test this unless you have a data logger than can do 10 hertz per second (phone is 1). You can essentially get the same by looking at the trap speed in the quarter mile. It doesn't matter. If you look at the trap speed, you will probably get the same order.
