this thing is pretty cool! its the older one, without the lcd graph and all the goodies but still is plenty of fun. a little disapointing in some respects, you don't need to know my 0-60 time.

1/4 mile time seems pretty accurate, 15.2 @ 95mph with very little traction on cold roads and pump gas and only 10# of boost, not too bad.

handeling really suprised me continious .85 g's for the 3 seconds it requires, i didn't check instant g's, that only measures how big your cojones are, not the abality of the car.

60-0 times suprised me too, 212 feet. i was expecting it me give me miles not feet. ;) and the dreded 0-60 time of low 6 seconds, i don't remember exactly what the time was, i tryed to forget it. that was with the same 10# of bost and no traction so i guess its not too bad.

.61g's of acceleration -1.6 of braking

everything seems pretty accurate aside from hp, it told me 209 at the rear wheels, i find that a little hard to belive.
 
The g-tech is cool. I have the old one also. It is pretty accurate on the times but the mph will be higher on the g-tech than what you would run at the track. The track averages the last 60 feet, I believe. It is an excellent tuning tool, but don't concentrate on the times so much. To see if you are improving your power, go by the mph. The 1/4 mile ET and the 0-60 are products of good traction and decent suspension. MPH will tell you if you are making more horses.
 
is your hp rediciously off? i know our cars don't make hp, its all low end torque so i'm not expecting a high number, but 209 really can't be right. my weight was pretty close, give or take 100 lbs.
 
If I read your first post correctly, you said you ran 15.2 @95mph? Those times would suggest your horses might not be far off. Keep in mind that's rear wheel horses.
 
And also only 10 lbs of boost...
 
oh yea... fr some reason i was thinking they were rated at 275 stock. :rolleyes: what was i thinking ...

stock 245 down to 200 at 10# of boost and high altitude, not to mention all the problems the car has, i guess its not all that far off.
