RE: GTech
I appreciate the feedback. I was skeptical anyway. How could it be accurate pulling info from a cigarette lighter. Is it the same for the one made by autometer? I would like to have one only because I can't race at the track anymore. I don't have a cut-off switch for my battery that is located in the trunk and I have no immediate planes to cut a hole in my car to add one. So I will primarily be running it on the street.

i forgot autometer had one........honestly, if it were me, id rather have the Autometer since theyve been in the business for a while, and theyd probaby have a better way to measure so it might be more accurate....idk. ill stick to track times, or racing my friends that are fast and compare my car to theirs.

99% of the time.........its USER error........period. I have used it on many, many, cars......from a newer vette, newer Z28 (one auto and one 6spd, my truck, wifey's car, my Mustang, many muscle cars, etc...and its been very accurate. Sure a track is better, but I use it when modding, or looking to buy something new. I level it in my garage every time before I head out of my neighborhood and let it blink till I get to the road I use it on. You need to have it set on 0, not + or -, to get an accurate reading. That is why I pre-set mine. It is always very consistent also, so its great to check to see if mods are helping...hurting....or ?? I have the older version and the only thing is that you need to subtract 3mph on your QM, but your times will be correct.

RE: GTech
Thanks for the info UhadMEatGT. I have seen the older models cheap on EBay. Is that the one that you have?

I may try one of the older ones just for curiosity sake.
