G Tech Performance Pro Meter....

I just bought one and did several runs last night. So far, my best 0 - 60 time has been 7.2

Has anyone else tried this and gotten under 7 seconds? Thanx

I have the vector fx-2 but I won't comment on my times because nobody believes me.

Pretty cool though.

It should be accurate. If it wasn't it would defeat the purpose of these items.

People didn't believe my numbers from my cold weather testing last year. Here's the post: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5729

Grassroots Motorsport reviewed G meters and found that they were pretty accurate. I took some pics because my scanner is dead. Here they are but they're a little large so you can read the text: Page 1 Page 2

Sorry about the flare on the bottom paragraphs, so here's the text from the hard to read sections:

Dan, I did, and still do believe you. Any reason why I shouldn't?

Thanks Sauceman.

I just knew if I made another post saying that I ran a 6.95 0-60, people would start the argument again. Hopefully that article will add a little credibility to my claim.

Me too. You haven't given us a reason so far not to believe you.

After re-reading that thread I don't think it was the one that I caught flak for using a g-meter. Anyhow, thanks for the lovin.
