HHmm looks interesting, how accurate is it though? they reckon it can tell u wot bhp ur producing as you drive.
Is it in mph for the 0-60 1/4 mile etc?
How much you pay for it?

it's basically a pendulum and using the force at which it moves it calculates acceleration.

they are going for double the price of the Gtech on ebay. both do the same job. all runs will be done on the same road so it don;t matter which one I get. I am looking to improve my launch and lookign for the best time to change gear.
