Everyone with an Aeroforce Interceptor, how accurate do you think the 'Performance Statistics' are?

I tried it out for the first time tonight and got...

1/4 Mile: 13.55 @ 106MPH
0-60: 5.71 seconds

I really hope that it's pretty close, 13.5 on street tires is my personal goal for my car. I would have to say that it felt like how I would guess a 13.5 run would feel

it all depends on if you spun your tires uphill downhill anything that might have changed it at all. flat with zero spin will probably be pretty accurate. now if you spin the tires you will not have an accurate measurement at all. all its reading is how far you have travelled and your speed timing each point as you pass it. its prabably close though.

 

I spun just a bit off the line and then again at the 1-2 shift. I was on a perfectly flat road. I hope that the guage is pretty accurate because I am thrilled with the results of Stage 2. If spinning the tires resulted in the guage thinking I ran a 1/4 mile in less than a 1/4 mile then sure my ETs will be artifically low, but the trap speed of 106MPH is pretty impressive! I surely wasn't spinning my wheels up to 106, so IF I was able to get it up to 106 in a 1/4 mile or less I am VERY HAPPY with that

 

At the track, I usually run 13.9 @ 103.... but that is ALWAYS with REALLY high IAT2's.

I've seen as low as a 12.9 @ 108mph, that's if I do it on the street with low IAT2's (90 to 105*). That's launching at 2250rpm.

Highest trap I've ever had was a 13.3 @ 110. I had a little bit of wheel spin on that one.

If I let my car sit in a parking lot or on the side of the road for a minute or two (aka the staging lanes) then I usually run around a 13.7 to 13.9 @ 103 to 105.

SO I'd say that it is actually decently accurate.

And whether you spin a lot or not... it is still pretty good at knowing when you've done a 1320. I always leave from the same place... and it always gives me my times at the same place - lots of spinning or not.

 

i wouldnt trust the accuracy of the a Gtech for anything more than comparison between two runs. Unless you dial it in at a track the times are worthless IMO.

 

We aren't talking about a G-Tech... we are talking about an Interceptor.

They measure in very different ways.

Maybe I'll go to the track tomorrow and test it out.

 

ohh ops to early in the morning...

either way i wouldnt trust anytimes it gives you unless it was proven to be the same as an actual track. Because there is a huge difference between a 13.8@102 MPH which is the average for a good driver on stage 2 and a 13.5@106MPH which would prolly be the highest trap speed ever recorded by just a stage 2 car. And further more if the two cars actually raced, there would be another huge difference.

In all honestly i dont think those numbers are accurate at all.

 

Wrong. The difference is that most people drive drive drive... decide to test. Stop, set it, and go. Meaning that the IAT2's are gonna be low, cool, sweet.

At the track... you're car is gonna be hot... at least warmer than it would be on the streets.

IAT2's shoot up like a rocket when your car is turned off... and they shoot up like crazy if you are sitting in the staging lanes with it running.

Street times will be better than track times for that reason.

Like I said... I think I'm gonna test it out at the track tomorrow.

 

if you spin at all it thinks you've covered more ground than you really have! and is way off!

if you want to use that you have to make sure you launch like a ***** and roll onto it in first dont spin at all then it is very accurate, ive already done the track to street comperison it was off by .2 cuz i spun on the launch
