Default Anyone ever used G-Tec?

Anyone ever used those performance meter things that you plug in and mount to your windshield? It's got a shift light and get a very close reading of your 1/4 mile times, g force, 0-60, horsepower and ft. lbs. tq.??? I'm thinking about buying one. Oh yeah, it also shows your MPH and RPMS.

I have one, and it is awesome. It reads your 1/4 mile time within .005 of the real time, and shows all your 0-100 MPH times, 1/8th mile, 60 ft times, HP, TQ, all kinds of things. I have the one from Escort, G-timer GT2. It also does your skidpad, and G-forces. http://www.escortradar.com/gtimer.htm

i had the origanal g tech, brought it to the track and was within .1 of my actual time, and within .5mph every time, hp # was off from dyno though, you need a near perfect weight with driver to enter in it to be accurate.
