My experience: (1) the 1/4 mile tends to be .1 +/- .05 sec pessimistic because it records from when you start moving, not from when you would have tripped the timing lights; (2) the MPH tends to be 1-2MPH optimistic because it's recording actual speed at the end of the 1/4, not the average for the last 66 feet. HP tends to be substantially below dyno figures, because in lower gears your driveline is less efficient and you have engine/flywheel rotational inertia soaking up power, and in higher gears you have aerodynamic drag doing the same.

All in all, a very worthwhile device for $140.

I had a result of 3.95 seconds 0-60, with a stock ACR, full tank of gas, and a 250lb passenger, michelin street tires. Is this realistic, it sounded too good to be true...but who's complaining?

I JUST TRIED IT OUT. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS? HOW MUCH WEIGHT DO YOU PUT IN I HAVE A 97 GTS? I PUT IN 3650 AND IT DYNOED AT 394 HP ONLY WENT THROUGH 3 GEARS, I HAVE 3:55 GEARS,1.7 ROLLER ROCKERS,HEADERS, EXH. WITH NO CATS, MOPAR COMPUTER, SMOOTH TUBES AND FILTERS. I RAN THE 1/4 MILE AND IT SAYED I RAN 12.28 AND THEN I RAN 11.89 AT 118 MPH. DOES THE ROAD HAVE TO BE FLAT AND SMOOTH. THANKS FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS.

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I'm pretty sure flat and smooth is a requirement. Car weight should be 3440 lbs, plus you. That's with a full tank.

I have one and I have dyno'd the car, so I'll try the dyno function this weekend to compare to find the variance between real and virtual horsepower and let you know. I've been told it's not that accurate for horsepower, but just an indication of change. The 1/4 mile functions are closer to real life.</FONT f>
