i believe they have a very sensitive pendulum inside to measure g-forces and thus time. i believe they are as accurate as you can get for a in-car solution. basically you push a button when you want to do a performace test/reading, and then as soon as the car moves forward(even an inch) the device begins measuring. i think.

They are accurate to 0.01 seconds (allegedly). I've had a go with a mates G meter- it looks like the same one.
I got 4.48 0-60 and 13.12 1/4 mile.

May be that its not that accurate but its another toy

Plus if its at least consistant then you can tell if things are going your way in terms of mods.

Of course its not going to be 100% accurate but as it reacts off a pendulum it cant be far off.
