Great read.
I hope you can fix the links in some of the reviews.
They aren't working.
I can list them for you if you like?

I did a 15.4 stock. It was 33deg celsius and at about 6000ft. To put it in perspective a stock C55 did a 14.7 that day.
I just bought me a Gtech Pro SS-model. One of these: http://www.gtechpro.com/ss.html
Has anyone tried these on a track, how accurate they are? I remember the older models were optimistic with terminal speeds.
I did 4 test runs, just to try out the meter. I used the original pitch correction value of 2.0. My car is DSG GTI, 17" wheels, 3-doors, launch control and fuel tank was almost empty.
1st run (short sprint just for test, traction was bad):
0-60mph 6.25s
60ft 2.432s
2nd run (short sprint, again bad traction):
0-60mph 6.27s
60ft 2.404s
3rd run (S-mode shifted to 2nd way too soon when trying to control throttle, so crappy run):
0-60mph 6.46s
60ft 2.424s
1/4-mile 14.854s @ 95.28mph
4th run (put it in manual-mode, first gear went now pretty much perfect):
0-60mph 5.88s
60ft 2.333s
1/4-mile 14.417s @ 96.55mph

we had 2 stock ones run in the duttn rally here in australia 1 manual and the other dsg and both ran in the high 14's one was 14.8 and the other 14.9 not sure which was which though and the focus xr5(st) ran a 15.13.
as for the gtech i have the pro rr model and found it to be accurate when i ran my SSS down the 1/4 the gtech said 16.18 the track said 16.175 the speed i think was always within 5mph too.

I did more runs today just for the fun of it :tongue: It was a lot warmer then yesterday. I didnt keep any cool down periods between the runs, just drove away :biggrin:
I drove the same road back and forth, so averaging the times should give pretty accurate results. I will get on a real track in a month, so it will be fun to check how close the times are to real measuring equipment.
1st run, short test sprint with cool engine, the best 0-60mph so far:
0-60mph 5.83s
60ft 2.303s
2nd run:
0-60mph 6.24s
60ft 2.377s
1/4-mile 14.73 @ 94.4mph
3rd run:
0-60mph 5.93s
60ft 2.339s
1/4-mile 14.44 @ 96.8mph
4th run:
0-60mph 6.05s
60ft 2.367s
1/4-mile 14.55 @ 96.1mph
5th run:
0-60mph 6.21s
60ft 2.419s
1/4-mile 14.71 @ 94.9mph
Average:
0-60mph 6.052s
1/4-mile 14,607s @ 95,55mph

Ok. I took it to the track. I removed spare tire and the backrest of backseat for some weight reduction. 14.4309s@155.1913kmh/h (96.45mph). Car is still completely stock.
Part of the run is seen in this video at the start, it focuses on the other car:
http://www2.kauhajoki.fi/route67cc/Videot/Videot06/Testi-ilta14.7.2006Autokooste.wmv
My reaction time is bad because I was trying to press OK in my G-tech, and the bloody thing fell from the window
I almost lost my concentration

Yes, I have launch control. I still have a "not so good" 60ft time, even though I felt the launch went pretty good. I have seen better 60ft times from US cars without LC.
I had G-tech working ok on my second run which was a tenth slower then this first run (14.5s @ 154.9km/h) and it registered a 5.7s 0-60mph time, quarter times were withing .1-.2s and terminal speed almost dead-on. G-tech slightly on the optimistic side.
