How accurate is the Gtech thingy......

0-60......5.43

I just looked at it.....
The one I have isn't tested... The one I have is the Gtech performance meter/pro ....
it looks different and it was only $50 or around there.

I've had good 0-60 reads on the one you are talking about
I bought one for my dad like 4+years ago, and it's worked really good.
2001 S4 Avant MTM stage II to be determined, picking up on saturday ; )
Chipped 2001 1.8t Avant (mine sold)- 6.6-6.7 (close to where it should be)
1999 Pontiac Grand AM (sis)- 6.7ish (faster than you think)
1997 Ford Contour SE (mine deceased)- I forget but I'll say 7.2 is sticking in my head
1998 BMW M3 (dad current)- 5.7-5.8 (listed 5.5-5.6)
2003 BMW M5 (dad current) - 5.2 (on winter NE Roads)had more. (lised 4.8 or 5.0, not sure)
Def. Use it as a comparison, not as an end all of end all. But we've gotten pretty close to where we should be on all accounts. And don't really set out to get the lowest time. Really only tested each car once or twice, so with practice times could get better.

thanks......I probably won't do it that much......
just wanted to test it out....
I think I want to take it to the track this summer and maybe do a 1/4....so this is a good practice......
I wish I could practice more, but I can't afford the clutch or turbos to go any time soon..

Your trap speed is way too high. Otherwise it's probably ok if you use it correctly. Here is my

Think you could scan it and email it to me sir? I cannot get C&D over here. :-(
Also, email me a list of those rackets you were interested in. I'll get you some prices.
Thanks Dan.

Doh, I gave all the magazines away but I'll try to get that one back...
...it tests most of the current accelerometers on the market vs. a local drag strip and the results for most of the were excellent when properly adjusted.
Regarding the rackets, no worries, I'm all set, thanks. :-)
