You would also need JB4 and E85 though...

BTW, I was just pulling your leg

What is the current 6MT record? Anyone know?

I've rarely even seen times posted from a 6mt car.

Yup. Conversely if you spin of the line, that inflates the trap speed.

Not strange. If you're drag strip fan and want to be fast DCT is your choice.

Yeh and up until 2008 all drag cars were slow.

AreOut · 12-12-2014, 01:13 PM

they weren't, but people aiming for drag are sure going to opt for DCT, before 2008 it wasn't an option

I guess 6MT in this configuration could squeeze 11.4-5 with a good driver

A lot of slushboxes were faster back then tho.

With a good driver i would think 2-3 tenths like you said froma dig. At NFZ JC 6mt ate up the DCT i thought.

I'm not much of drag guy but hey, for 25$ on a Friday night with your buddies it's a blast. You also get to enjoy your car without worries of a crazy speeding ticket.

I'm trying to get done with break in, I drive EVERYWHERE but I feel like I'm stuck in the 600s

Did you make it to Tampa?

I did, but I was also the most modded and starting from 40 rolls really helps because I only had to perfect the 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5. 3 shifts isn't going to give much to the DCT, especially when the cars are in motion

Don't know if linking to another forum is allowed but yes there is a formula to calculate 0-60 based off the time slip data points.

good stuff. based on some of their discussion, it's not necessarily super reliable but gives a ballpark.

I'm not sure what the most reliable method is though? a VBox probably?

I'm not sure how much those cost of what's involved for using one, but it would be cool to get one as a community tool to pass around (kinda like how I've some guys buy an RTAB tool and rent it out?). that way we wouldn't have to sit around doing fuzzy math trying to figure it out

Think about 0.2s for every shift on time to speed, so about 0.6sec for the 3 shifts. While the 6MT decelerates slightly for those 0.2 seconds, the DCT keeps accelerating. No one can beat that.

Yeah I have a Vbox and have used it at the track in a couple other cars and it is very accurate. I think it was around $500 and is the Vbox Sport model.
This is what the data looks like plotted on a graph. This is 0-60 data using 1ft rollout like the magazines use. You can also have it not use that method. If comparing to what magazines publish you will want to use the rollout.

I am curious to find out how accurate the BMW lap timer is for timing 0-60mph and 1/4 mile time and trap speed. That is a no cost option for anyone with an iPhone/iPod and Connected Drive.

FikseGTS · 12-16-2014, 10:31 AM

nice run! video up?

gtrsam · 03-25-2015, 10:34 PM

what map was this on?

M4John · 03-27-2015, 07:35 AM

What a great run , I would love to see these cars in the 10s.

What map were you on with the jb4?

MalibuBimmer · 04-16-2015, 07:43 PM

What's the real 0-60 time for the M4? BMW says 3.9 seconds, but BMW is usually a few tenths off for insurance purposes.

I've only got 200 miles on my M4 now, so I can't check for myself. But even now it feels quicker than my i8.
