performance measurement

hello folks,

i picked up a 2003 e320 yesterday. the color is silver with grey interior. i am wanting to test the 0 to 60 mph. do you just use a stopwatch or there is some device that you can use. i heard of something called a gmeter or something like that. anyone can lead me to that sort of device.

this might lead you to a contraption of those sorts:

these sort of gizmos arent 100% accurate but they give you a good idea. best way would be to take it to a dragstrip.

Here is a link to two options from $150 to $250. I've never tried either one.

Here's a pic of the older version GTech Pro that I used to measure my 0-60MPH runs on my Corvette. You mount it on the front window and must be level.
