Dont know how accurate they are but we used to play with the cheaper one:



It was good fun and pretty consistant, i wouldn't depend on it but it did give a good indication, we where getting standard sort of readings from standard cars in it too.

got about 6.X seconds in my FTo and my bro got low 5's in his scooby at the time.

Do you have to go to the drag strip or can you buy some thing. Links would be good.

It's a pretty consistant device.

Accuracy will depend on user input though. Set it up right, choose a flat road and run in both directions taking the average.

when you did your quarter mile did you not get a 0 - 60 time on the slips?
or are you saying you ran the quarter both directions?

You don't get 0-60mph timed on any of the proper drag venues to my knowledge. Santa Pod and Shakespeare/Avon certainly don't.

I had to have mine timed at a specific 0-60mph event.

5.4, 5.9, or 6.4 seconds. How quick is a UK turbo to 60mph?
