iPhone Dynolicious vs GTEC Pro RR video...

Ran the E55 with the iPhone and the GTEC Pro RR and took some videos:

12.2 @ 121.7 with the GTEC and 13.1 @ 116.8 MPH with the iPhone.....

anyone else have a GTEC to compare?

I hate to say it, but neither one is accurate enough.

That is a HUGE difference in ET and MPH vs. real track times.

I've heard the GTec is a bit optimistic and the Dynolicious seems to be more conservative

The 0-60 is way off for you, almost a full second difference between the Gtec and dynolicious

when I run the GTEC at the drag strip it's usually 1-2/10's high on the ET and 1 MPH high on the trap speed....

lol, i was going to hold off until some accuracy reports came in but you just sold me. i ALWAYS wonder what kind of acceleration passenger jets have when we take off.

Me too...the last time being in Albuquerque yesterday coming back to Phoenix and thinking, "I wonder how the mile high altitude here in Albuquerque affects the acceleration curve?"
