Not only is the new
DriftBox the most sophisticated Performance meter on the market, but it is
also one of the simplest to use, with many features normally found only on
professional test equipment. You can quickly measure the acceleration,
braking and cornering performance of your car without having to set anything
up beforehand, and there is no need to perform any calibration. Because
DriftBox is based on GPS, you get so much more for your money than just a
simple performance meter. DriftBox uses a GPS system with an update rate of 10 samples per second, which is the fastest GPS engine in its class. From this you get a very accurate speed (± 0.1km/h), cornering g-force, acceleration g-force and a very accurate distance measurement (± 10cm in 400m). |
||
| DriftBox is based on VBOX technology, which has been used all round the world by the majority of motor manufacturers for a number of years to measure speed, distance and acceleration. | ||

Using DriftBox as a
performance meter could not be simpler, you connect it to your cigar lighter
socket, wait a few seconds to get GPS lock, put it into "Performance Mode'
and drive! To swap between the 6 different performance meter screens, simply press the up and down arrows. Performance ranges
and units are fully user adjustable, which means if you want to measure a
specific acceleration or deceleration range, for example 35-65, then this is
very easy to do. |
