hi, i was thinking of buying a g-tech device of ebay. Does anyone know how accurate it is? i.e. has anyone compared their gtech 1/4miles to their drag strip (caulder park etc.) 1/4 miles?
cheers |

Hi mate, I have a Beltronics meter and is within .2 of a second when set up roughly. They are pretty accurate when set up properly with weight angle of car, aerodynamic efficiency etc.
Maybe Jamie with the TE50 will chime in here, he has used mine more than me

I have one. I can't really comment on its accuracy, because i don't really have access to anything more accurate. But once setup properly, i'll agree that they are at least consistant. At least good enough for before/after runs when modding/tuning.

the main problem is that you have to use it on a flat stretch of road.
inclines seem to wreck havoc with the accelerometer |

 : How accurate is the car's odometer? I often reset the trip meter to zero, floor it and then stop when i reach 400m. I have been reaching speeds of 155kph - but then again i hear the speedometer isn't 100% accurate. |
