i was watching the speed channel and saw an ad for this G-tech Pro computer that plugs into your cigarette lighter.
it reads:
Horsepower
Torque
60 ft time
1/8 mile and 1/4 mile
0-60 and 0-100 MPH
RPM and shiftlights
Handling G's
Records up to 30 Runs
all for $199, this seams like one of those "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is" scenarios.
what do you all think?

I know just enough to not know if it is a hoax. In today's world it may very well be valid. Am sure they used the term "12V power outlet" or "cigar lighter" and not cigarette lighter outlet.
When I had my alternator, starter and battery checked at advance auto, they had me plug in a thing in my 12V power outlet but, I think that was merely to save my clock settings.

The G-Tech performance meters are very cool and very accurate. Most of the car magazines like Car & Driver use these to determine estimated 1/4 times, forward and lateral g force, braking distance, hp, torque, etc. Their SS model is much nicer and allows you to record over 1 hour of data and play it back on your PC.

I have heard mixed results can occur .
Basically I think the technology has something to do with inertia and other scienctific stuff . I don't know for sure . But I have heard bad reviews .
That could be because the users didn't set it up correct though .
It would be interesting to hear from people who run the 1/4 mile and then compare actuall track times to the G TECH times . and the DYNO results with G TECH results .
