Talking GET IN (Mr. Dezzy) !!!

So, after 500miles drive back home from the Meet, I just couldn't resist to do what was bothering me throughout the weekend, a 0-60mph run and 1/4mile run.

So Mr Dezzy, if your 7.8sec (4.2) is something hard to beat , then not anymore !!!
A younger sister (3.7-the new 7.3 ) just beat your record, lots of sweat but she did it.
Soooooooo, the drums please !!!!!!

6.9sec 0-60mph hahaha haha ha haha

VCDS is not that reliable as it depends a lot on tyre diameter(size and wear), for precise measurement you need either track timer or dedicated GPS meter. Phone apps that rely on GPS are not too accurate either, well maybe some or depending on phone are but not the ones I tried. For example on my S8 by the specs should do 6.8 but testing on phone the results vary 6.1-7.3 on the same app so average is about where it should be. Have not got full VCDS but that would be fair bit slower because I got oversized tyres with almost new tread

...and there it starts, ruining my run

I know what you are saying, but I have to disagree.
Why vcds would be so inaccurate???? Date is read straight from the car's computer via USB cable, at least 1.3 straight into another computer which has a duel core cpu with 8GB ram just in case
How would that be inaccurate when compared to lets say GPS app??
And to be fair, it says next to the time +-0.3sec, this is the possible inaccuracy in the range of 6.6sec - 7.2sec, average is the actual time measured which is in both examples same 6.9sec

Any way, just want to remind you that she has exactly 148k miles on the clock and I haven't chopped the roof off and taken all the glass out just for this run

Ahh but the prize was for the most desireable D3 and ditto D2 and that's a different thing than the best presented - for which Marcin was up there. And there were some VERY desirable D3s. Tonupkid's S8 was classy but Marcin's exhaust drew eyes and ears from a 500m radius. Chuckletinlegs looked the dogs whatsits with the wheels and ceramics so its was all about the subjective desires of the voters. BrianG will, no doubt, post the winners of two classes if he can remember as I for some reason have forgotten

yeah yeah yeah, bla bla bla
You said : ''The towel is down, i don't want to be the one to embarrass you...bla bla bla''
And don't worry, I was pulling a caravan on this run and took 4 ignition coils out to make it more fair

I'm just proud of her, she is doing well and if I look into gearbox remap I may bring this time down by another 0.2sec
