I had the Gtech SS and it sucked. It did not read the rpm perfectly but it was close. My cars battery died because i left it plugged in the cigarette lighter. Sold it for 60 bucks on the forum. Do not get this!

My friend has one that I use from time to time, it's not bad. Gives you an estimate of what your car runs, but not perfect.

I bought one, after conferring with members of this Forum. It does exactly what it is designed to do. It takes a little time to get to know the little tricks to get it right, but overall I like it. Your 0-60, and 0-100 times will be pretty accurate, as well as your Quarter Mile ET's.

I don't know anything about the gtechs, but if they aren't that accurate like some here are saying then consider an aeroforce interceptor gauge. It will give you 0-60, 1/8, 1/4 mile times and it will display coolant temp, cylinder head temp, fuel pressure, intake air temp, timing advance, rpms, mph, horsepower and a slew of other crap you'll probably never need. It's also a scan tool so you can read error codes and clear them. I love this little gizmo.
