My M Roadster did a 13.0 drag time, and G-Tech said 13.3.
They are a GOOD tool for mods, aka every mod you do, see if you go slower or faster, but they are NOT the tell all tale my friend.
By the way, my C32 best 0-60 was a 4.78
See yeah

just use dynolicious on the iphone or ipod touch. Its already proven that its more accurate then the g-tech. i posted a video about it on this forum, just do a search.

While there's no substitute for the timing equipment at a professional drag strip (and the useful data it provides), one must make do with the best available option(s). You can use it as a rough gauge of modding efficacy, as MRAMG1 suggests. Good luck!

video proof dynolicious is more accurate then the g-tech. If your was off then you didnt program it correctly.
the iphone was only .04sec off from the track slip. G-tech was off by .50 seconds.

The little device also measures G forces and engine RPMs so that you can record and later analyze your performance on a race track or a solo event. The G-TECH/Pro does all this using a very sophisticated internal accelerometer system, the same technology used in missile guidance systems....I think it should do the job well.

the iphone has a built in accelerometer too. i'm willing to bet the chips in the iphone are a lot more advanced then whats in the g-tech.
Keep in mind the processor in the iphone has to processing cell signals, gps, wifi signals, operate a OS system, browers, play video and music.
anyways the software is $13 and it proven to be just as accurate or more accurate then the g-tech.

For $199 I can easily beat an iPhone, though.
I'll take my Omnia anyday over an iPhone.
