kilo16 Report post Posted November 29, 2009 Here are two back to back 60-130 runs from my Stock 2006 Gallardo (6-Speed manual). Conditions: Temp (*F) = 56 Degrees Humidity = 59% These runs were performed on a full tank of gas. 2 shifts. Run #1 - 9.95 seconds. 0.29% incline Run #2 - 9.92 seconds. 0.15% incline Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilo16 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Try starting in 3rd... Seems to be faster than starting in 2nd.. I'll give it a shot next time I get a chance. Weather is gonna start getting shitty now and there are very few roads around here like the one I ran on (Ocean Pkwy) that are almost completely flat, also 75 miles from where I live.

VBUGKING Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Nice runs. Under 10 seconds is pretty good for a stock 06 G, better than I expected considering it was run on a very flat road (slight incline) with full tank of gas. I agree with starting in 3rd, if he was shifting like you Allan, but hes getting consistent .2 shifts so its probably going to be a wash.

RaginBull Report post Posted May 10, 2010 I read a mention of powering the driftbox with a battery? I just ordered one for my Gallardo Spyder. Is there a battery attachment I can also order? I hate having the power cables run to the cigarette jack. Thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate having the power cables run to the cigarette jack. Thanks in advance! There is a method of powering it by battery, but I don't know how reliable it is, and by the looks of the unit, its not exactly designed too well for the unit. I haven't gotten around to buying it because for the price, it's a little ridiculous. You can search VBox Battery and you should come across a UK website that sells them.

FikseSTS Report post Posted May 13, 2010 just bought a vbox performancebox, for the 60-130 times, do we sit at 60MPH and then start the run, or do we get a running start from any speed? thx! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you start @ a lower speed and power right through 60. I usually start around 40mph in 3rd.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Report post Posted June 2, 2010 I haven't read too much about the box yet, it does tell you when you are @ 60 mph etc? So you don't rely on the speedometer at all right? Does it also tell you wether you are going uphill or downhill? good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGallardo Report post Posted October 31, 2010 I Vboxed the 458 this morning. Ambient was 45 degrees F. Car had between half and a quarter of a tank of gas. Summary of best results: 0-60 in 3.3 seconds 0-100 in 6.9 seconds 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds @ 129 mph 60-130 in 7.7 seconds I have the .DBN file if VBOX King or Allan want to see it.

VBUGKING Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Nice runs, you can send me the file at [email protected] if you like. Sounds like you had pretty good conditions, did you feel like you left anything on the table on the runs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Nice! That means the 458 is a lot faster than the lp560. A lot more than the videoed races indicate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
