in-car lap/sprint meter

Anyone knows where to find a cheap but consistent/accurate 0-60 and 1/4 mile sprints meter? It doesn't have to include a lap timer but if it does for not too much extra, I may be interested. Thanks in advance!

nothing is going to be accurate unless its gps based. and then it will not be cheap.

does that one include a lap timer? i know lap timers are pretty expensive. i don't know if you can get 0-60 and 1/4 mile sprints meter only or they all include lap timers but i would imagine you can.

this one was a setup for 2 to 3 cameras for multiple views when you put the video together. had inputs for different tracks so when watching you could see where the car was on the track at a given time, like a video game map. g force meter/tracker. lap counter. and timer that you could set a position to be the start/stop spot for the car.

that sounds like it could be very useful. do you use all of its functions? i found a gps based app for my android that does 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times. it has a built in speedometer and it seems pretty accurate so i'm hoping the timer isn't too bad either. can't wait to use it. what kinda 0-60 and 1/4 mile times do you get?
