Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 20y 10m 5d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 24/04/05 01:17 PM Share Posted 24/04/05 01:17 PM Hey Alan,CSI hey.....whats the scoop with the third name change Mid 5's to me sounds too low for stock. Are these things really that accurate?Also, it gave you a 4.4 and 4.6 modded, which would mean your car would be well into the 12's by my calcs. This is based on a typical 13.0 sec car doing 5.0 0-100.Good if its right.Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driven right the T's are weapons.I got the photo of the 5.76 to 100 on the dealers camera phone which he will email so I can post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By calculating acceleration x time, it determines vehicle speed and distance travelled.The real fancy ones have 3 accel's., so orientation is not important.Mine is basic and just has the single one.You just stick it to the windscreen, make sure its pointed straight down the road and level it so it reads 0 g's, press the go button, wait for it to say Go, and plant it . (It doesnt start timing till you move, no reaction time cannot be measured)Inaccuracies would be caused by non flat roads etc.Damn hard finding a flat private road Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used a g-tech for a year or so and always wacked the weight of the car in (got some load cells too ) but not sure where this weight was exactly used other than in the derivation of hp ... will go for a bit of a read and a think still reckon F=MA would prevail in there somewhere .... though I can imagine the acceration being measured in g forces and time just ticks on is this like dropping an empty bottle and a full bottle of the top of a building ... which hits the ground first ?? as for flat roads ... look for river flats on any map ... always a nice stretch of bitumen a few k's long to be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
