my friend has this thing called a gtech. you plug it into your lighter and you run a 1/4 mile and it tells you your time and whp. i was wondering how accurate this thing could be. he claims it is almost exactly right.

If you can find a extremely flat strip of road you can usually come within 2-5 tenths of your actual 1/4 mile ET. I wouldn't be afraid to use it for my own personal fun & references..but I certaintly wouldn't brag about a GTech time as it may be way off and setting you up for some embarassment

I heard they're really close to accurate when used right, but how accurate can you really get with something like that? Still pretty neat though.
