Here's the braking force graph. I extracted this from the CAN bus data. Based on the graph, it looks like my maximum braking force was 69% of maximum.
Left-Y Axis: Blue line = KPH
Right-Y Axis: Red line = Braking force (BAR)
Right-Y Axis: Orange Line = Maximum braking force possible...
For reference, my best 60-0 test in the M4 was 108.5 ft, and my best 75-0 test in the M4 was 168.5 ft.
Since Motor Trend uses 0-130 MPH test, and 70-0 MPH braking test, I can add those to vboxtools.com tonight when I get home and see how they compare as well on the Shelby and M4. The software...
Now that I think about it, I can answer that exact question when I get home tonight. Since I have the CAN bus logs, I can look up the brake pressure in the logs and see how it compare to the maximum possible values.
I'd say the braking tests were only 65% - 70% pedal pressure. Due to severe tramlining under braking, I couldn't really mash the pedal all the way to ABS stop. Given the road surface, I don't think there will be any more opportunities for better braking tests at this location. The next best...
Earlier today, I took the car to Mexico for some vBox runs. The first run was botched and the results were not valid (more on that later). This is the redo of my earlier vBox runs. I made two 0-130-0 MPH runs.
Equipment:
Video VBox Pro, 10 Hz
Vehicle Spy running on a laptop to capture the...
Today I pulled up to a light in my AG 'R, and opposite me at the light was a Grabber Blue with white stripe GT350. It's interesting to think there's a Grabber Blue GT350 lurking in our town of 30,000.
BMW does it. They call it the "Individual" program. You can select custom paint colors and custom interior leather colors. If I remember correctly, the interior is hand made and you can select stitching color too. I believe it's $5k for paint, and another $5k for interior. I've never done...
OK, I believe something just isn't right. It was easier than I thought to extract the CAN data and look at the timestamps; so what I thought would take hours, only took minutes. According to the wheel speed sensors, the 60-130 should have been about 11.15 seconds. That sounds more like what I...
Though I haven't done it yet, I'm pretty sure if I change the CD to 0.35, the calculated WHP will increase.
I don't necessarily believe in factory freaks, especially not an entire second 60-130. So I'm going to keep digging into this. My only hesitation is that I didn't have my GPS antenna...
I am bone stock, California 91 octane gas. I didn't change any car settings from the way she fires up in the driveway.
I'm also a rather slow shifter @ 0.7 seconds. I have friends who can shift @ 0.4 seconds.
Do you have a link to the MT article? I couldn't find any with 0-130 tests.
EDIT: These results are not valid. Please see updated results here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81318
Today I got my first chance to take the car out with the vBox attached. I took it to a place down in Mexico that a few of us know as "Steve Dinan's raceway." It's a...
I bought the matte black from the aftermarket and will sell at a good price if interested. I'm not sure I know the part number.
If you're asking about factory stripes, the factory stripes are about 10 part numbers, maybe more.
I got a price from the dealer of $3163 for the factory stripes. I was planning to clear bra my entire car, and I was investigating removing the stripes, clear bra, then replacing. I ended up buying two sets of stripes from Big Worm Graphix: matte black and matte charcoal. They sell for about...
Great write up. I just ran your weather conditions through a dyno correction calculator and came up with the following density altitude numbers.
Runfile_008: 80.94 deg-F, 30.04 in-Hg, 44% humidity, 96 ft altitude (Titan Motorsports):
DA: 1593
Runfile_001: 82.40 deg-F, 30.16 in-Hg, 63%...
In early February, the same dealer wanted $143k for a GT350R ($75k ADM). I called them, and they stood firm on that price at the time. 5-weeks later, that car was gone, presumably sold. No way to tell selling price though.
When I was searching, I found the list was accurate and all the dealers showing an R on that list, actually had an R. The one in Stayton has been there a while; I saw that one while I was searching too. I talked to them about it. Black wasn't my color though.
Which AIM device do you use? I don't like their track software. I'm currently working to add GT350 CAN bus support to vBox devices. I made good progress the last two nights of finding some data on their CAN bus. The purpose of CAN bus support is to capture the raw vehicle data, then in...
The saga with HR115 isn't over yet.
My relative in Fort McMurray received the GT350 welcome package from Ford a few days ago -- you all know, the one with the certificate, flat plane crank display, etc. He's planning to send it to me as a trophy, and I plan on offering it to the next owner of...
