On bimmerforums we’re having a Racelogic group buy for their 3 logging devices. Performance Box, Driftbox, and Vbox. Trying to get 25 people by the end of the month for a 20% off discount. I ran it by howie before posting this in here, and figured a few of you might be interested. I’m picking up a driftbox as I wont spend the money on a Vbox and want G2X datalogging down the road (cant afford it right now with all the options I want, and I need a GPS speedo for the 240z anyway). > **[V-Box Group Buy (PerformanceBox and DriftBox)](https://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=907956)** > > Bimmerforums is the preferred online BMW Forum and community for BMW owners. At Bimmerforums, you will find technical how-to information maintenance specifics audio advice wheel and tire combinations and model specific details not found anywhere... [quote=“ParadigmGuy”"] If we can get 10 buyers we can get 10% off. It’s not much, but it’s a savings of $50. If you guys want to post this on other forums please feel free to do so. We should be able to a mix of the Performance Box and Drift Box for those interested in the higher end model. The next price breaks will be at 15% for 20, and 20% for 25. Here is the [US website](http://www.vboxusa.com/performancedrift/) and the [UK website](http://www.performancebox.co.uk/index.html) if you’d like to find out more information. [Here’s a good page](http://www.vboxusa.com/performancedrift/compare.php) that compares the different models. Below are some of the key features: - **Actual straight line performance:** Measured via GPS (0-60, 0-100, 60-130, 60-0, 0-100-0, ¼-mile etc.) - **Horsepower calculation:** calculate both wheel and flywheel HP. - **Lap Timing:** Using GPS, there is no need for an external lap timing beacon. Accurate to 1/10th of a second. - **Speed and Compass display:** Use it as a super-accurate speedometer, updating 10 times per second, to calibrate or verify your vehicle’s speedometer. [The manual](http://performancebox.co.uk/Download/RLPB_Manual-English.pdf) explains how simple everything is to use. This isn’t an old school G-Tech Pro, this thing is accurate. **[PerformanceBox Data Sheet](http://www.vboxusa.com/performancedrift/media/PerformanceBox_datasheet.pdf)** **[DriftBox Data Sheet](http://www.vboxusa.com/performancedrift/media/DriftBox_datasheet.pdf)** [Here’s a recent thread](http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=902666) by [HighboostingM3](http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/member.php?u=14175) about it. Let me know if you have any questions. I haven’t had the chance to try one myself yet, but if I can’t answer your question I’ll find out for you. [/quote] ---

How accurate are the performance boxes? Pending accuracy I am interested. -Within 5% for HP. Not too shabby. The lap time thing is badass. ---

The FD LS1 guys just got racelogic’s traction control working on a swapped car. Ugh. So siqqqq. Adjustable slip from 0-25%. I hate racelogic…now I want a driftbox and traction control, when yesterday I didn’t particularly want either. ---

> [@Minglor](#): > > How accurate are the performance boxes? > Pending accuracy I am interested. > > -Within 5% for HP. Not too shabby. > The lap time thing is badass. It is just as accurate as a Gtech at figuring out HP. They both use acceleration data with vehicle weight to finger it out. These seem slightly more idiot proof than a GTech, however HP #s will be equally as subject. ---

These seem slightly more idiot proof than a GTech, however HP #s will be equally as subject. Yeah, I would agree. However if you’re buying this for HP #'s dont waste your money. I’m buying it as a lap timer/mild datalogger + fun while drifting. Also I need a GPS speedo for the Datsun so it’s multipurpose. ---

Also I need a GPS speedo for the Datsun so it’s multipurpose. I was commenting on the quote, not the device. Sorry for the confusion :party2:
