Which app is it? Sounds a bit slow actually.

Magazines use the 1 foot rollout drag racing rule which accounts for 0.2-0.3 seconds.

GoCougs · September 10, 2013, 12:17:29 AM

And the app?

Damn, gonna have to try that app for the car and the bike. Just need to find an empty quarter mile.....

And the app?

I posted it a couple posts back for Kevin. It's called "Measurement of Acceleration"

GoCougs · September 10, 2013, 08:59:36 AM

Hmmm. A lot of these apps use GPS - do not want an app logging/tracking my acceleration runs...

They do anyway. Even if they didn't, they document your average speed. IPhones have really good GPS too :)

They're coming for you

Why not? What's gonna happen Cougs? Are the big bad cops going to find you?

In case you two turkeys haven't noticed the US government(s) pretty much as its hands in ALL centrally stored data and communication, and a lot of the activity done with this app would be illegal if not infractionist.

Yes, the federal government is going to knock down your front door because you did a 0-60 run.

Are you being fucking serious? You better get rid of your iPhone altogether then, because they know you're travelling in the HOV lane.

Jesus, are you guys ever naive...

Sorry, I'll go get my tin foil hat.

SVT666 · September 10, 2013, 11:04:20 AM

OMG! There was a knock at my door. It's gotta be the RCMP. They must have found out about my 0-60 run yesterday from my phone. I'm gonna hide under the stairs.

Still have G37x for day two. I feel like I'm sitting up too high when I drive it.

I feel that way getting in any regular car. Parked next to a G37S coupe the other day and couldn't get over how massive it is.

Can you lower the seat? There should be no difference between the cars.

It's not massive, your car is just tiny.

Massive? Must have been next to something else.

Plenty of difference; the sedan sits higher than the coupe and the AWD model sits higher than the RWD model.

Ha, ha! You guys are suckers in the extreme. The conspiracy nuts who for a long time maintained that the US federal government was tapping into pretty much ALL electronic communication; web surfing, cell phone, texting, email, etc.; look like geniuses now.

I'm gonna look for an up that doesn't upload to a server. Not a complete guarantee but it's much safer.

I've been saying that for at least 12 years, so I must be a genius. The government isn't going to come to your door because of a 0-60 run. You're paranoid.

The difference is 0.6" between the coupe and the AWD.

The coupe sits ~1" lower than the sedan so he's at least 1.5" higher in the AWD sedan. So, quite different, and definitely noticeable.

Laconian · September 10, 2013, 12:21:35 PM

The pedal placement is very different too.

Go look at Infiniti's website. It's 0.6" difference between the Coupe and the AWD sedan right there on their own spec sheets.

Laconian · September 10, 2013, 01:26:28 PM

My brain and body think that I'm up higher.

Maybe it's a result of the taller greenhouse or more upright windshield? Perhaps the windowsills are lower?

Almost. Have to subtract headroom (distance from seat to roof) from overall height to get seat height from the road.

AWD sedan specs w/moonroof: Overall height of 57.8" - headroom of 39.1" = 18.7"

RWD coupe specs w/moonroof: Overall height of 54.8" - headroom of 37.7" = 17.1"

The G37 sedan has its seat 18.6" - 17.1" = 1.6" higher off the ground vs. the G37 coupe.

GoCougs · September 10, 2013, 03:58:59 PM

So I downloaded a dyno app that I'm pretty sure doesn't upload anything to a server...

I am getting consistent 0-60 times of 5.4 sec. I was getting it in both directions so the ground is pretty flat. Best times came with brake torquing at max throttle and manually shifting at red line

I had only about 1/8th a tank of gas but also ~100 lbs of mountain bike and gear on/in the car. Altitude is ~400', temp was in the 70s and humidity was fairly low. With an unloaded car and colder temps I should shave 0.1 sec. Will try again when unloaded.

Oops, my bad. I was looking at the numbers for the G37x Coupe, not the sedan.

What's it called? My runs were done with a full tank of gas, so that's probably the difference maker.
