Accelerometers - Best way to record 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?
I'm looking at a couple accelerometers...GTech SS and K.A.T. Matrix to capture accurate 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Has anyone used the GTech SS? I've seen some mixed reviews on the KAT Matrix. Any others folks would recommend?

I have a GTech Pro RR. It's decent for just playing around, but not as accurate as using a dyno for HP or the drag strip for times. You have to get a lot of data inputted right for it to get a halfway decent HP/Torque reading. It takes the RPM reading (from the power in the accessory outlet) from your engine to estimate speed, based on what you enter as the gear ratio.
I haven't played with it in the Camaro yet. Maybe I'll give it a try this week and see how well it works. I'll stick it on the windshield and put the GoPro camera facing it so you can see it working. |

Been wondering about this, too. I'm just curious about 0-60 times. I've heard Dynolicious is a good app, but I don't have iPhone.

Best way to improve 60' and 1/4 times is stickier tires and practice. Best place to pracrice is at your local srtip.

The Performance Box from Racelogic seems to work good. Very easy to use, but expensive at about $500.

That's what I'm thinking, have the passenger run the watch, mostly for accuracy and some for safety :P

Torque app and ELM327 bluetooth OBD2 diag scanner. You can get one of these for about $25. There's several threads about them.
