Re: Gtech meters...

they're spot on as long as you get the vehicle weight correct.

They're really accurate for 1/4 mile timing too, i did a run at york dragstrip with it on and comparing with the track printout, it's spot on

Re: Gtech meters...

I've got one off eBay. It's good but you need a pretty flat road to get sensible results. Also, the standard suspension on my Cinq' allowed too much pitching on acceleration and upset the G-Tech. All OK now I've fitted an Apex kit though. Check out:

Re: Gtech meters...

So a G-Tech and some gauges are essential?! Good enough excuse for me!
