Official 0-60 & 1/4 mile thread

^ hey hey...I’ve done 3.8 seconds !!!!

I wedge mine right in the cup holder...stays horizontal perfectly. Balancing trick.

To add...no stickies, etc. Didn’t want to mess stuff up.

The dragy just wedges in perfectly length-wise.

I tried putting it to the door like @Slip_Angle suggested and def seem to get more accurate slope reading at least

Do cup holder. You want the best reception.

Do cup holder. You want the best reception.

You have a theory on how that would be better than the door immediately next to the window ? I’m always willing to try just wondering if there is a theory behind locations and what not

 

[Vortex951]

Plus I do have the bms intercooler ordered as of today so we will see how that helps the car as long as it fits haha

All I know is that the instructions states that it should be facing upwards. Even so, I really like the window frame location the best. Just sticks there really nicely.

I'll try the cup holder next time.

 

[Husky]

I kind of want to try it in Map 0, just to see what the differences are.

Yes, those of us that don't have a tune of any kind would be interested in seeing the difference. Of course, you have other mods as well, like intake and exhaust if I recall correctly, so it's not a comparison to stock. Maybe someone else here has only the JB4? It would be nice to see some user data, with and without. Sorry if this has already been posted and I missed it.

i think @Beefer would be the best bet. I think he has a bone stock car other than jb4 and plugs. And his car is an animal getting sub 4 seconds 0-60.

Let me see it?! LOL

Here's my time 4.42

Just best reception...right in the middle...roof open (not glass).

We’re talking different cars here.

You shaved more than half second on your G80...as did I (more).

Yep...3.8 seconds.

JB4...99 octane...Map 3. Denso gapped plugs. 50 F...zero humidity...close to sea level.

Looks like you're pulling over 1g when you hit like 20mph! I bet that thing feels strong!! Nice!

Show us the Dragy! I wanna see what your 0-10, 20, and 30 looks like! So far it looks like most guys have quicker 0-30 and everything below that quicker than me. My car is launching incredibly weak. I hope it's just because I'm slipping in the rain.

Geez I don’t catch up until after 50mph

It does launch and pulls strong, thank God, I'm AWD and on PS4s's, the grip is incredible with those tires.

I wonder....if we ever get to see Beffer's Dragy? Come on bud, show us your tax returns! ...........I mean Dragy slip! hahaha!

Hey I'm AWD too. Haha. Doesn't seem stop me from scrubbing a little bit during launch - in the pouring rain.

One run I tried the e-brake method. Totally failed. Haha.

I go sideways sometimes doing WOT, when the pavement is wet, lol but I'm trying to control myself and wait til is dry, then I can launch good.

 

[FastEddie]

Well... Tried out my Dragy for the first time today. Using JB4 Map 1.5 (custom map 6, but in-between maps 1 and 2).

1st run, LC, manually shifting 1-2, auto shift 2-3. W/passenger and 2 child car seats. Very rainy, windy.

Another attempt, exact same location, w/out passenger, manually shifting 1-3rd. But it says invalid, despite doing it in the exact same spot...
View attachment 26925

I don't get how the slope can change from 0% to -2.2%. The spot and run was exactly the same. Whatever.


Anyway, things I noticed. First, launch control is inconsistent. Sometimes the RPM's will build a little higher than others. Most of the time when launching you can feel the power being cut initially, then it allows full power. Second, shifts are TOTALLY inconsistent. Sometimes I'll get a perfect shift from 1st to 2nd when manually shifting (I click the paddle at about 5-5.2k), other times it will shift slowly, throttle plate closes and diverter valves whoosh (you wouldn't be able to hear that with the stock intake). I've noticed this ever since I installed the JB4, and I assume it's the culprit. I'm excited for a flash tune, should be able to get a much more aggressive start, and better shifts. When I finally decide on which tune to get I'll post a comparison.

Anyway, I'll try again when the weather is better. Most of my launches I could feel the rear wheels slip a little. So very rainy with standing water on the road.

Lastly, where do you guys mount your Dragy module?

Wow. You were only .03 off my best run in late October. But I’m RWD and was on map 3 with Boostane and only K&N drop in filters. The 0-60 with rollout is the same. Hell even the 0-50 were identical.

I have had the same thing happen to me. Same street same run in the same direction and shows the slope off and invalid. Maybe a discrepancy in the satellite data?

 

[Slip_Angle]

Yep...3.8 seconds.

JB4...99 octane...Map 3. Denso gapped plugs. 50 F...zero humidity...close to sea level.

3.8 straight up or with the one foot rollout?

 

[Beefer]

I returned my dragy after I did my runs

I actually bought 2 of them back to back...neither would charge to 100%. Found the product to be crap. I would do same runs and slope would change...and even got “invalid” runs.

So thanks Amazon for the easy returns !!

Did my runs...got the numbers I expected...and all done . Haven’t done any timed runs since...I just play (rarely) with other cars.

I actually sent a screenshot to my buddy...this is all I got...was able to dig it up.

This is WITHOUT the JB4...but on 99 octane. My best run stock’ish. Next day I beat my friend’s S4. The slope number is complete bullshit.

Elevation is ~180’...and temp was ~50 F...no humidity.
