Default Gtech-Pro 0-6o timers. They actually any good?

Was just reading up on this gtech thing that apparantly measures your 0 to 60 mph time * 1/4 mile elapsed time (E.T.) * 1/4 mile trap speed * Instantaneous lateral acceleration (G s) * Sustained lateral acceleration (G s) * 60 mph braking distance * Instantaneous braking Gs * Sustained braking Gs * Horsepower @ The Wheels (fook knows how?????)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GTECH-Gtech-G-...QQcmdZViewItem

Anyway, anyone on here got one? and do they work for 0-60?

Cheers
Mike

As long as you use it on a straight, flat, road, yes they work, and are accurate.

To get H.Power, you enter the car weight and it gives Approx. value
