Me and my mate went bought a 0-60 timer at the weekend, very impressed with it, it also measures how many g's your pulling and 1/4 mile times etc.
So far i have done 5 0-60 runs and my best time is 5.8s so far, and that was done on cold tyres. i'm currently running 255-260bhp, is this a decent time-any other thoughts?

I've got one too, I'm not sure of the accuracy though!

5.8sec is about right I'd say for a 250+bhp Coupe. ;\)

What weight did you put into the G-Tec, have you been on a weigh bridge?

The thing with these are you cant really compare results between cars unless they are tested on the same road, with the Gtech mounted at exactly the same angle!

Good though for comapring any mods you've made, might try mine out again.

I'm going to york drag strip on august bank holiday so am going to take it there and see what happens. About having them all at the same angle so as to compare times- when setting it up it has an inbuilt digital spirit level so you can make sure it is bang on the same angle every time
