yeah they are quite good, and very accurate as long as you use it on a flat bit of ground. Mine is broken though :(

G meters are good fun. Managed 6.8 to 60 and I think it was 15.6 1/4mile in my old 106 gti. I'll be having a go with one in my Williams soon. :wink:

Only one listed on ebay at any decent price is the old Gtech Pro (discontinued) and that's £49 dollars and located in california :roll:

Will try and get one when in the states for my wedding in May :) Should hopefully be below £150 for the Gtech Pro RR (best version I know of) and below £90 for the Gtech Pro SS.

Would be nice to get some performance figures.

There quite good things, i was suprised how accurate they are when i used mine at crail and it got around the same times as there timing equipment. Cant beat seeing what lateral G you can get at round abouts :lol: .

Would have recommended the 'drift box', but that's a bit hard to recommend for FWD cars :(

Might be worthwhile finding out who in each area (north west/ south west etc) has gtech devices so can organise some club days where everyone can have a go? (members only of course - (i'm not a member yet, but think it might be a good idea))
