It's pretty accurate. You can get them on ebay for about 45$.

I currently use one now, its not dead accurate but is as close as you're gonna get for something that sticks onto your windshield or dash...as I said, not dead accurate but its not way misleading either...i'd say go for it!

works pretty well as far as ET goes in the 1/8 or 1/4. I tried the hp feature once and it was so far off it wasn't funny. The MPH on the 1/8 and 1/4 will be high b/c of the variances in how they get MPH at the track and how the Gtech does it.

But as far as ET, mine was dead on. They assume no wheel spin though, so as long as you don't spin it will be pretty close.

look into the G-Timer by passport. I have the better one of the 2 that they make and i find it very useful. It does G forces too without removing it from the bracket. I have the original G timer which i consider junk compared to the passport. It could be for sale
