For $150, they sure seem like they do a lot of cool things - a needless, but fun toy! This guy has a dream garage and still is playing with this $150 toy ....

I don't have it in mine but two of my friends do in their cars. They love it. Incredibly accurate compared to the more expensive VBOX.

not me , i use Dynolicious and i wonder how dragy compare's to Dynolicious .
this guy tested one on his STR. seems easy to use . and accurate too.


i have read a lot of good things about the Dynolicious app , its been heavily tested by several nascar teams , 1 team claims to use it for test sessions .
and a lot of Drag teams have with good and mixed results .
but for only $12usd for the phone app, is the Dragy worth that much more ?

For those of you with a Dragy in the coupe, where are you mounting the box?

Just stick it to the front by windshield , it's magnetic ...
As to how dynolicious compares to dragy , it doesn't compare
Not on the same level. Dragy is dead on acurate every time, where the other is more a gimicky and no way for it to be as acurate as Dragy uses an actual high refresh gps

The best thing about Dragy is it is 3D, so you can't upload a run to the leaderboard unless its within 1% slope. It also records the DA and calculates 1-ft rollout times used by mags.

Yes, it's an amazing device

That certainly would be the easiest solution if it can read the satellites through the roof.

Where do I find any steel up by the windshield to stick the magnets to?

For this purpose, unfortunately, I don’t live in Kansas. For all other purposes, it’s a blessing.

Another advantage of living in the low country! Three miles from the beach, one mile from the ICW and the highest elevation in my entire county is 18 feet (and we consider that the foothill.)

Finally bought one myself, very impressive bit of kit.

Don't have a F-Type, but tested it on my X350 XJ.

50-70mph in 2.14 seconds
60-90mph in 3.95 seconds
100-200kmh in 11.18 seconds

All valid results, on private land.

Very interesting to compare numbers
