xa-coupe Member 95 Member For: 22y 3m 22d Gender: Male Posted 26/08/05 09:51 PM Share Posted 26/08/05 09:51 PM I took my getech out on our last HPR day to check out the accuracy. It was very hit and miss.It read mostly a 10th slow on the ET but waaaaay high on the mph... it was saying that I was getting 110 mph from an alomst stock xr8I wish.As for the magazines carrying on about the 1/4 mile .. the way a track is set up is THE definitive measure, not their correveit or some other GPS based thing. Their system is less accurate by virtue of not allowing rollout not the other way arround. They cannot claim to be more accurate when they have deviated from the accepted norm.

It is an excellent tool for before and after times after mods have been added.If you really want "numbers" then go to the drags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
