I've been following "Auto Glory" on you tube. This is by far the best channel to follow as far as street races go. Shows many different cars racing and plenty of M cars. They are quick and to the point vids. Anyway the guy that gets these races together brings his racebox to almost every race. He actually did a side by side with a dragy and they were basically identical. What I like about racebox is it mounts to the windshield and it displays the info right on the device. No need to connect phone to it. Also ordered my ps4's and hoping this week will be mounted. If all goes well I will at least do the 60-130 with my current tires Thursday night.

take everything you see on his channel with a grain of salt..it's south FL, lots of liars down here and frauds. Nobody wants to admit what they have done to their car..

For the most part it seems to be on point but there has been more than a few races where the performance of some vehicles did not matchup with what was expected.. this is why I like the fact that the guy that runs the channel brings his racebox. There's been a few times where the car owner refused it to be in their car. That in itself is telling. Hey I get it, some of these guys race for money and they don't want to give anything away.

Racebox came in a day early.
Was not impressed with my time but I can definitely try a few more things.

1 st run 60-130 was 8.30. Everything sport+ 4wd dcs off, downshifted to 3rd and hammered it while going roughly 57mph. Also I was shifting through the gears manually.

2 nd run 8.06 everything sport+ MDM mode 3rd gear again roughly 57 mph floored it and this time let the car shift.

Would like to add i was at a full thank of gas.
Very disappointing to say the least but
Next time going to run in less gas and maybe start at a lower speed.
Any tips would also be appreciated.

I thought 60-130 runs were started much sooner than 57 mph.

Forgot to mention the speedo is almost mph off than what the racebox shows. So if I was going 57 the box was showing 54

I meant that the good 60-130 runs people post are usually not started at 54 or 57 but are part of a longer run like a quarter mile or maybe a 30-140 so gears and shifting and momentum are optimized. If 60-130s all started traveling at a steady 60 and then flooring it, regardless of the gear you are in to be going the steady 60, times would be slower.

Agree. I haven't done a run that high but if I did and I wasn't starting from 0 I'd prob start at 35-40 and make sure I was in 3rd gear.

if I have it in Auto and used the paddles to drop it in 3rd would the car shift on its own once I get it to redline?

Yes. Just with the paddles. If you let off the throttle or mess around it takes back over though.
