I jsut got a escort GT1. I was wondering if its just as acurate as the Gtech.

And how accurate are they?? I mean i tried it and giong down a very slighit hill I did a 13.2 @ 108mph. I know the hill help, but how accurate are they really?

 

i dont really know, i have heard good and bad about preformance meters like those

 

Same here actually

The only way to know would be to bring it at the track and really find out!.. As for the hp #'s I know they cant be very accurate. But the 1/4 miles could be preatty accurate. they say its withing a .1 or .01 of the real time wich would be awesome if it was true

 

bump

 

i have the gtech pro and its very accurate. my friend ran it in his M3 on the 1/4 and it was with in .01 of a second to the time slip he got.

 

Yeah I heard and know about those, I was just wondering if the escort is as good

 

that is waaaaay too fast for your car (like a second) the hill must have helped a lot, I would recommend trying it on flat ground or see how slow you are going up the hill. hahaha
Have you guys heard anything about the dpic gauge form autometer?

 

Well i didnt think a second to fast. I think i should run 13.8's with my car. I have all the bolt on's except the highflow cat. How do you like you touring catback by the way?

 

maybe because you guys are lower there up here we are like 3500feet. The touring exhaust is awesome I don't have anything to compare it to tho.It isn't loud in the car at all
with the stereo on you don't even here it. It fit perfect and took about 1/2 hour to install.

 

They are all pretty accurate. Even the hp is accurate if you do it right. They way most people do it is go into a local scrap yard and drive your car up on the scale. It will show you how much you weigh exactly. Then run. It is important that your on flat ground.

 

Yeah i notice that about the running on flat ground, cuz a little hill can make a big difference. I am trying to get the hp rating to work right, but my damn car with winter tires keep spinning, so its getting all the hp rating messed up. Oh well we'll be able to tell when spring commes

 

spaz, same here. I had a sunfire with a freaking annoying exhaust that was loud. So i made sure this one wouldnt do the same. Yuo just here it when you floor it, its nice and deep too. Much better than performance, I find that sounds like stock just louder.

 

You shouldnt have to do a hp reading from a launch. I think in the directions it recommends second or third gear.

 

no no I spin through my whole 2nd gear. thats the prob!!
I only tried it in the city, so 3rd gear wasnt possible safely, so I'll try it again next week when i go home. Tuns of highway there to play around with!

 

I had the autometer D-Pic, hooked up in my cavy, it was pretty accurate. Haven't had the opportunity to hook it up in my SS/SC yet.

 

Just a question, but cant the aeroforce gauge perform all the functions a D-pic can and more?

 

No the areoforce is a scan gauge it just displays the pcm data there is no accelerometer in the aeroforce. Two totally different gauges.
