Anyone ever use a G tech? Ever compared it to you 1/4 mile times. Just wondering how accurate it is.
Anyone ever clock their car down the 1/4 mile? If so what kind of time slips.

I bought one of the original ones when the new ones went on sale and the old ones were selling for $50 or less. Seems to work fine. I really don't know how accurate it is but I think a lot of the mags use the new ones for their tests.
It is useful to compare mods you've made, compare driving styles, etc. You can get a baseline and go from there. for $50 it was a fun gadget.

Just FYI. I tried out the Gtech. It said 14.29 at 101 mph
We've had a few of those little "dashboard dynos" in the drag car over the past years. They're a lot of fun and can get pretty close, 'though never dead on. You really have to be accurate when entering the weight of the car, including driver and fuel and such in order to get close to correct. We use four scales (out at the wheels) and still get different readings at the track and salvage yard.
BUT, they are a ton of fun, and gives the passenger something to look at while they laugh and scream ! ! !

Sounds like something Cory needs in Hoopty!
TC is right. If you get the weight correct, the times will be close but not dead on. My best time is 12.9 for the 1/4, the Gtech gave me a slightly better time.
