I don't have one, but have friends that do.... they all love it... you don't have to get to the track to get a decent number,all you have to do is find a deserted road.

I've got one (as you might have seen in the other threads). I'm also willing to lend mine out for test purposes if you're considering buying one. I've sent it around on another forum. It's been a while since I used it; I need to verify that it actually still works .

Side note: I noticed in one of the Vette catalogs that Tesla, the company that make the GTech, appears to have another, much more powerful, meter on the way. A quick check of their website (www.gtechpro.com) showed nothing, but the ad looks pretty convincing. It costs about twice as much as the Pro, IIRC.

it's a lot more fun going to the track. I hear the G-tech is close but the track would be more accurate.
Personally I think the G-tech is a waste of $.
You can go to the track about 7 times before the g-tech even pays for itself.
Got to the track you'll enjoy it.
just my .02

GTech also gives you 0-60 time and lateral acceleration measurements...

See this post by me regarding the accuracy of the gtech meter at the race track ....

Looks like from that other post the G-tech does not give very accurate ET & MPH predictions. That being the case I would expect the 0-60 times are off as well.
I stress the word predictions because with the Gtech that is all they are.

 

[rrubel]

Why do you call them predictions? They're calculated with known data and validated mathematical formulas. Nothing predictive about it.
