    Default measuring 0-60 times???

    Would anyone know an accurate way of measuring a 0-60 time other than a stop watch or a dashhawk? On the drag time slip there is everything but 0-60 time!! Anyone?

    Stop watch is the most accurate.

    I have a Dash Hawk and a GTech Pro. Both work accurately

    Wheel spin makes the Dashhawk inaccurate I've found.
    Looks at Tom's recent posting. His zero to 60 was in 2.1 secs.

    That's only if you use wheelspin to get you to 60mph.

    The DH is said to be within a tenth or 3.

    GPS measuring would be the most accurate.

    When I worked for Primeda/Source Interlink we tested with a Passport G-Timer or the Beltronics equivelant. It was within .1 of the various drag strips we tested it at

    GPS is only accurate if you use one with a high sample rate.

    I would say the Dashhawk because it does a hell of a lot more.

    Gtech pro is "iffy" at best, Passport Gtimer if you just want to measure 0-60 or ET's accurately, Dashhawk if you want to do that AND want a killer scan tool to boot.
