I'm gonna agree with Zac on this one.Until the time is run at a legit dragstrip with legit timing equipment, the vehicle hasn't run that time.
Now, it may run the same time at the track. If it does, congrats.
I don't care what a vbox, gbox, xbox, gtech or vtec says.
BTW.....low 11s will prolly get you into the Quick 8.
So I assume you're questioning all the benchmarks(0-60, 0-100, 1/4) I gave then?

I'm not trying to fight with you. I will stand by my statement though. If it didn't run it at a dragstrip, it didn't run it.

^^^where did I say it ran at a drag strip? It definitely went a quarter mile. Several times. Timed. Measured.
Are you saying I'm lying about that?I didn't say, that you said, that it ran at a track. We all know it didn't. I have little faith in your timing equipment.
Of course it went a quarter mile. It's been plenty of quarter miles. Just read the odometer.
Bring me to the road you ran on and point to the starting and finish lines. We can even measure between them.

Dude just settle, I gave you some bait and you took it, no body is serious
Yes the car is fast and will turn good times obviously. I was trying to get a rise out of you like I do everyone and it worked

^^^^^^Truth.
I also read on nhra.com that all cars competing at national events will be equipped with a Vbox, so they can do away with traditional timing lights.

my gtr went 10.9. i wont race you, though. i dont have to. my gps uses 453 satellites instead of four. plus mine uses a much better compensation for the curvature of the earth. i know it is minimal in a quarter mile but i refuse to accept even the slightest of errors. my zbox also compensates for sea level, headwind, and whether or not an earthquake changed the speed of the earths rotation in the last 18 months. i fiigure since i am lighter thn the average driver and i only had 1/2 gallon of gas in the tank that number is completely accurate. its is right on par with everyone else plus i am lighter so duh winning.

What's funny is that its you drag strip guys are the ones that are getting your panties in a twist. Like I said, I couldn't care less about a drag strip. The timing was close enough to give a fair indication of what the car would do at one though.
Just threw out some initial readingsi on an accurate piece of equipment right after my car came out of its break in. -

What's the difference between your Xbox, i mean Vbox, and my app again?
I have no idea what app to which youre referring.
Phone acceleration meters are notoriously bad, to the point of meaningless.
Racelogic specializes in car performance montoring systems. Most major Car publications use their product.
Why do you have to be such a douche bag in the way you ask a question? -
Racelogic uses satellites and much more accurate processing units. Its equipment is standard for practically every car review publication.

Is this car forum always this hostile? I belong to 4 others(nagtroc, m3forum, m3post, mbworld.org) and never run into this kind of vitriol. -
Congrats on the new GTR! And vbox is the best of the best when it comes to tracking acceleration and speed. You guys are completely clueless if you question the accuracy. I would trust vbox results over anything else and putting up great vbox numbers on the street is even more impressive than at a prepped drag strip. Comparing vbox to some ipod app is absolutely ridiculous. All the major car magazines and websites use vbox for their performance numbers.
Where did your old GTR end up at? I've only seen a few out cruising but haven't gotten to see one up close yet. Once I graduate from college I'm definitely considering picking one up a few years down the line. The prices have dropped a bit and they'll definitely be a steal performance to price wise. There will just a difference between being able to buy one and being able to afford one. haha
*and i've wasted too much time on NAGTROC and a few exotic car forums as is... so I do know how accurate and trusted vbox results are.

I traded it on the new one at Maplewood Nissan. If you're ever wanting give the it a spin, PM me. It's broke in now.
