Thread: Car performance program

There is a 1Hz update speed, on the GPS unit itself unless you go expensive and get a 5Hz one, but no navigation programs will update using 5Hz. Even then though you cannot be very accurate.

So you could get a rough idea of your speed tests, but it could be off by as much as +-1 second.

Not as far as I know. They probably use accelerometers. Instant value depending on the acceleration, which can be extropolated to speed as long as it knows the time. And computers, always know the time!

LOL, I don't know why you've repeated your question the second time.
2k1 seems to have answered your question.

Anyway, look here. I've searched for the keyword VBOX for you.

why can some software not be made to capture 60 seconds of speed data, and then process it, using something like excel you could interpolate the actual time the car hit 60 or 100 or whatever even if it fell at a point in between updates from the receiver...

0-100mph is a much better measure of a cars ability too

if you can read ODB-2 data, as with a USB ODB port reader, you can calculate the data.

BTW, My 0-100mph is just under 13 seconds

km/hr

Mine takes 13.4 to hit 100mph and only weighs 1280kg and is nice and sleek, traction off the line is a big issue though
