Hey guys, I just did a 0-60 mph in 3.95 seconds in a stock g37 iPL and I wanted to post it here to get your feedback on it

 

I'm sure you know it, but there is zero way that time is legit.

 

Think he drove it off a cliff

 

Yeah, absolutely no shot. Maybe straight off a cliff.

 

Brandon, this is you?

 

This would mean that off the line you would be faster than:
2011 Audi R8
2013 Audi RS5
Audi A8L 4.0T Sport Quattro
2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed
2011 BMW M3 Competition Coupe
2013 BMW M6 Coupe
2019 BMW M2 Competition (Manual)
2010 Cadillac CTS-V (Manual)
2011 Lingenfelter Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
2010 Callaway Camaro SC552
2007 Vortech Supercharged Chevrolet Corvette Z06
2014 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10
2006 Lamborghini Gallardo
2004 Maserati Trofeo
2015 Mercedes AMG C63 S
1999 MotoRex Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)
2003 Porsche 911 Turbo
2014 Porsche 911 Carrera S
2017 Shelby GT350R Mustang
2020 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Launch Edition

And since we know own these cars and many have tried some of these cars we know through fact comparison or actual personal experience that there is no possible way.
These are 12-12.5 sec quarter mile cars which it would take bolt ons and a tune.

Hopefully you're not trolling and actually believe what the app is telling you which with what he have presented is clear indication that you should not trust this app for anything other than engine sensor data.
0-60/ 1/4 mile times as well as Horsepower displays on some of these apps are incorrect.

 

According to the app, my 2008 goes 0-60 in 3 seconds flat, and I have over 400hp. Best app, highly recommend. ;P

edit: this was meant to be sarcasm/mockery.. i'm sarcastically recommending the app because it says our cars are faster than they actually are. what.

 

According to the app...


(Mods, I couldn't resist... delete if warranted)

 

We should make it a rule for members to be able to back up comments like this. I wonder how other mods would feel about this.

It will take more than 400WHP to get 0-60.

This would mean you would be the second account to believe this faulty application which doesnt help you nor the op.

Let's be adults here guys, if we are guessing state it. The forum doesnt like this type of commentary, it doesnt do the community any good. It draws the masses at trying to correct your statement and if what we receive is unacceptance and denial from the OP then you will get flamed and or banned and others in the process. If you can't back up power claims I suggest you dont write those because many folks will try to disprove. It's been like that since the invention of forums and trust me when I say MYG37 is much kinder than most.

 

My post (i thought) was obviously a joke. Edited.

 

The OP hasn't been on the forum since starting this thread. Also note he's 22 according to his profile, and you can read whatever you want into that.

I don't think talking about rules here is necessary, just be patient and be kind. Or for some of you, be as kind as you can while making your point.

That said, there's no way a stock G37 can move that fast, IPL or otherwise. And apps that use the phone's GPS are universally considered crap. Pretty sure a Draggy sampling would be more accurate. I've never used one myself, but my understanding is that the Draggy GPS device is pretty cool.

 

I've never personally used a draggy, but from what I've seen they are fairly accurate. I think it was Boosted Boiz that gave one to Clay Millican to run in his Top Fuel dragster and the time was pretty close to what the boards slip said. And that's a sub 4 second drag pass.

 

With any of these applications, user volume and rating will potentially be the best method of recording.

With any application there are ALWAYS calibration issues with their first versions and an application that doesn't see much user traffic cannot update and adjust as one with higher usage and feedback.

Like every step of the scientific experiment, you experiment and experiment and experiment and compare this data to other factual data and the closest one to what we see as fact will enter the factual or close to it realm.

You cannot expect a measuring device that is reliant on a phone's sensor to be fully accurate. Because this is the biggest variable of all, THE PHONE.

The type of phone will ALWAYS change the accuracy of the collection of this data, you mix this plus the lower user interaction +/- ratings + operating speed of the phone + additional opened applications using Bluetooth or needing processing speeds and what you have is a faulty calculator on you passing math exam.

The more an application is available, close to factual and popular you can rely on this data.

A simpler and sure way you could put this to rest would be to download Draggy and repeat the experiment.

To take it a step above, I would download the 5 most popular and report my findings.
I would care more about the data I can provide others than bragging rights of a stock IPL.

 

Draggy has its own hardware. That's why it's so expensive. It's not just an app.

 

I have a draggy it’s pretty cool product for getting all kinds of data.

its been done hundreds of times using draggy on a strip and it’s always within a 10th and usually closer to a 100th within the strip times. In fact the gold standard used by car manufacturers and the car magazines vbox has also been in some of these comparisons and the draggy has always performed on par or even in some cases better than the vbox.

Draggy is a very accurate method for recording your times. Most people and forums will accept a slip or a draggy for 1/4mile leaderboards, but nothing else is even worth looking at, other phone gps is too slow refresh, and the car speedo is often not accurate and/or doesn’t account for any wheel spin if speedo reads higher especially in 0-60 runs.
