Beltronics Vector FX1: 0-60 in 4.7 sec
UPS dropped this little toy off to me today, so I just went out did a few runs to see what the APS TT would do. I'm no great race driver, so I did three runs that were standing street starts at zero RPM. I don't know the ACT clutch well enough yet to start jumping off the line at high revs.
The first 0-60 was 5.6, the second 4.8, and the the third was 4.7.....and it's currently about 95 degrees outside. I don't how accurate this thing is, but it sure is fun. I'm certain a real driver who knows how launch a car properly (and isn't afraid to abuse the clutch) could knock at least a half a second (or more) off my time. Traction is the real issue with this monster, but the last run was pretty good.
It's very tempting to keep doing it......

Yes, you should knock off at least another half a second.
Using my best 1/8th e/t and trap, the 0-60 calculator put me at 60 mph in 4.72 seconds.
8.809 and 81.95
I imagine you should see low 4's with you rwhp.

I now have HID, but its still stock performance wise.

J/K....sounds like a neat toy. I might have to get one of those puppies.

Best time i recorded with a G-Tech was a 4.38. Can't wait to try some more soon. And the calculation from 1/8 mile is not accurate. It gives you a number but not accurate otherwise I'd be in the low 3second range. But that is a good time for stock, nonetheless.

It should be fairly close.
What is your 1/8 time, and trap?

Have had mine for awhile now . Can't beat it for the price . Easier to program info into than the Passport because of where the HP is being measured .It appears to be fairly accurate , probably near in accuracy to the Passport , which was more when I purchased the Beltronics , but the Passport has now come down in price close to the Beltronics .They are very similar for the original price difference .

Haven't you heard? The APS kit is so good, you idle at zero RPM .
