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 <{POST_SNAPBACK}>You can get ther manual off the website.Both jars would land at the same time as both haver the same force (gravity) applied to them, and same resistance (Air).The G-Tech can measure F (Force) as HP, but then it does require the Wieght of the car to be inputed.It then still uses then accelerometer to calculate how long it takes to move so much weight so far, so quick, to derive HP. I've never bothered with it Simpler to set it up for 0-60 or 1/4 mile. Takes 10 secs.Tur, were you measuring 0-60mph or 0-100km/h ???The Pro like mine only does one or the other. ie: Metric or Imperial...Think the RR and SS do both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metric one does 0-100k and 0-400m (not qtr mile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car did have ss induction on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PSIXR6 Guests Posted 26/04/05 10:16 AM Share Posted 26/04/05 10:16 AM (edited) When my car was new, about 1000kms on the clock and in stock trim I managed a 5.7*sec 0-100 with a G-TECH. Me 140kg and my mate 65kgSame time my 400m was 14.04 @ 165kmhAfter my mods as stated below, I managed 13.3 @ 175kmhDidnt catch the 0-100 time.Not bad for the old T5, 5spd Edited 26/04/05 10:17 AM by PSIXR6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you like, your time represents 0-96.54km/h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tur Flight 6 Member 471 Member For: 21y 4m 9d Posted 30/05/05 10:59 AM Author Share Posted 30/05/05 10:59 AM Hey guys my dealer friend at Ford leant me a typhoon for 3 hours to test drive by my self. Well worth the test, where ever I drove I got the head turns.The gearbox was abit clunky when it was cold but as the car warmed up it went away and was smooth and real easy to quick shift.Power delivery was gradual it build up, not like the xr6 turbo which goes on hard. Clutch took some getting used to as its very light compared to the xr6turbo, and car absorb bumpy roads nicely.Overall now I am thinking of getting the t56 instead of waiting for the 6speed auto to come out.
