Go to search and type in gtech, you'll get lots of results.

they work relativly well but you have to take their results with a grain of salt.. also if the road isnt *FLAT* it knocks the results all over the shop/.

its a handy tool if you are going to use it on the same road everytime... so if you moddify ur car and take it back to the same road then you can see any improvements...
but differant roads means differant times, and a gtech time isnt really worth much in the grand scheme of things.. but for peace of mine about improvements to ur car and 0 - 100 times etc, 60 bucks doesnt sound like much.

$60 is reasonable but i bought mine for $31.50 
has been said before but they are only accurate on a dead flat road...
i'd go for it, they're heaps of fun

the only good functions are the 0-100km and the 0-400m...
provided that u use the same road everytime
i tried the HP setting, its bullsh$%. it said i only have 54hp

Im getting consistent BHP readings and its right for my car/mods. My AFM GZE with Nevo 175 and 2.5 zorst is putting down 138BHP.
However my mates one gives a dodgy BHP reading
His 13B ext port rx7 should be putting down more than 107BHP sometimes it reads 80BHP or 90BHP or 107BHP

Yeah I got one of those off e-bay too.
Worth the $60 for it.
don't know how much I trust some of the resuls, but the turning G-force is always interesting on the mountain roads

yeah it always reads about 135-140hp with mine.. same car same mods.
if you check the 0-100 times against a stop watch they are pretty good.
just remember to take the results with a grain of salt they arnt *perfect*

The Gtech Pro RR / Competition model is much more accurate than the original... if accuracy is your concern you might want to try it.
