I have one and if used correctly they are very accurate. I have learned the tempature of the meter has a great effect on its accuracy. The meter should not be stored in a hot car or the glove box. If the meter gets too hot it loses accuracy. I have used it to measure 0-60, quarter mile, 60-0 braking and skidpad g-force. at $39.95 it is worth it for sure :wav:

Yes, I admit...I have one. They are somewhat accurate. I have used mine once at the track, though, and it was almost an entire second slower than what the track had.

The G-Tech calculates by using acceleration measurments from and internal accelerometer and time. Tire spin does not throw off accuarcy.
