What do you expect from one Dähler BMW M2 F87 with 450, instead of the standard 370 hp? Or imagine that you are the proud owner of an Audi RS3 with standard 367 PS and that you make the effort to install a larger intercooler, an adapted intake, downpipes, a fat turbo and feel your way to the limits of what is possible and at the end do it Your RS3 fabulous 600 PS like that of MR Racing! What is your goal?
Of course you want clearly faster than the production version! What else ... And how do you find out the difference compared to the series? How do you know whether you flew to 5,4 km / h in 4,3 seconds or 100 seconds? You may be holding the steering wheel with your left hand, while your right hand tries desperately to hold the cell phone and your thumb somehow tries to press the "start button" on the screen when the vehicle is started. And then? Then you have to look carefully, not on the road, but on the speedometer, and then press the "stop button" at around 100 km / h and there is a completely nonsensical time value. It is impossible to imagine how the whole thing looks when measured over 100 km / h!
Tip: Apps & devices for speed measurement
But help is coming, because we have the solution for you! “SpeedBox - Performance Tracking” is the name of a mobile phone app for Apple devices that does exactly this work for you. The app developer Dominik Reichert took the trouble and developed the app for exactly this moment (and many others). An absolute highlight is the fact that everything can be done fully automatically on request. The app has an automatic GPS-based acceleration time measurement, which means that when the car starts, the measurement starts and at previously set speeds (100 km / h, 60-120 km / h, 100-200 km / h h etc.) the corresponding times are noted.
The intelligent solution to record several consecutive automatic measurements gives the SpeedBox a unique selling point. With the optional transfer of the results to the leaderboard (s) in the Apple Game Center, you can compare your times with other drivers. However, we would like to address one important option. This is the quarter-mile measurement, which enables the app to display the time traveled after exactly 402 meters. If you want to know exactly, you can get a SkyPro XGPS160 GPS receiver and couple the app with it. By then, at the latest, absolutely exact values are available and nothing stands in the way of the hunt for the last horsepower. In the App Store you can get the app for only 1,99 € and if you want, you can find the GPS receiver on Amazon.
As a Highlight we have dusted off 10 codes for a free download for you. Just send an email with the term "tuning blog - Speedbox" at [email protected]and if you are fast, the APP is free.
You can download Dominik Reichert's “SpeedBox - Performance Tracking” app in the various stores make and stay up to date if you keep visiting the Facebook page of SpeedBox - Performance Tracking stop by.
