So, some of you long time members are somewhat acquainted with me. I am nearly 59 yrs and am not a keyboard racer. Recently on fb, someone messaged me for some K04 boost help. During the conversation he posted a pic of a VBOX 100km to 200km data with 9.x second. I, thinking this was with his boost issue, thought I would post my vid of 60 mph to 120 mph so he would have some reference for when his boost issue is sorted. Yes, 60 to 120 mph is different from 62 mph to 124 mph (equal to 100km to 200km). He follows watching the vid with statements that mine doing 60 to 120 mph in under 8 seconds is impossible...and that he wouldn't believe it until, as he said: "The only thing missing is valid Dragy or VBOX results...so bring them 1/4 mile times"... Yes, he said "valid. I replied GPS performance data app is more reliable than visual proof? Perhaps my speedometer is cheating...I do'no! I then posted my 1/4 mile video showing a few passes at 12.8 at 112 mph. He follows that by saying; it trapping 112 mph is from wheel spin...that wheel spin causes it to trap higher. But I never spin the wheels. It all made me question; "what the H _ _ L is going on in the world today?"
I have seen videos where GPS Performance Data apps are not accurate and can even be off a full second in a 1/4 mile pass. I've seen a VBOX 1/4 mile say the 1/4 mi was done in 11.8 seconds but the timeslip from the same run at the track was 12.8 seconds. He showed me his VBOX says his 100km to 200km is 9.x seconds and his 1/4 mile is 12.1 seconds at 116 mph. Is this the real world now? With that, he feels he has proved mine in no way can do 60 mph to 120 mph in under 8 seconds and that it can only be 10+ seconds...maybe high 9 seconds if DSG...yes, he said this.
So GPS technology is the only real proof? When we still must use our eyes to view both, the video or a VBOX screen. I have never believed people saying their GPS ETs and asked for track slips...but apparently the new time slip is from a GPS screen from some unknown slope on a road.
So, I will add/share the same video I shared with him.
But if you would like to show a VBOX or other GPS Performance Data screen pic beside your timeslip from the track for the same run to confirm accuracy...feel free to do so. In fact, a video would be better so to connect the dots.
