Just a FYI, AutoMeter now offers a "tool" similar to the G-TEC.

I took mine to the track, and the timer was dead on. Within .005, and 1/3 mph every run. The thing I really like it for is practicing launches on the street from a stop sign. Getting a good 60 ft time is the hardest part. You can really use it to help dial in what rpm to launch, and how much difference you gt from the smallest amount of tirespin.

I might just look into one since the nearest track is oh I dont know 2 hours away and at 2.5k elevation.

Yes they are accurite when you are at the track, that's because the track is level and traction is usually pretty good. You need to find a vary level street and get good tracktion for it to be accurite. I have used them and found them to be spot one day adn WAY off the next. Bottom line if you want to really know what your car runs go to the track, Gtech times do not count.

What is that?

Are these the devices that you plug into the cigarette lighter? I saw an ad for something like that. One question: How in the world can you get all that info from something plugged into the ciggy lighter? Am I retarded?

Does anyone know if you can install them in your dash? would it still work propaly? I want to mount one under my CDplayer dash compartment, would it work??

It does not get infp frpm you car (other than rpm). Inside it has an accelorometer, which measures g force, then using a forumla converts g's to acceleration.

^^if the thing works off off of g forces and you are in second gear and you shamsh it to the floor and it throws you in your seat, your hp rating will be way off. right?
