GTECH/Pro Database




     Fellow listers, in a bid to baseline my '85 ur-q before some modifications 
     I have ordered a GTECH/Pro accelerometer (usual disclaimers...) as 
     discussed in the last couple of issues of European car. 
     
     I've heard good things about this electronic gizmo and look forward to 
     trying it out (comments Bob d'A?). I know Paul Timmerman has one and there 
     may be other members of the list out there? I would like to set up a 
     database of results, anyone interested? The GTECH measures:-
     
                        Res     Acc(Real World?)
     Road Horsepower    1hp     3hp
     1/4 mile time      0.01s   0.1s
     1/4 mile speed     0.1mph  1mph
     0-60mph time       0.01s   0.1s  
     60-0mph braking    1 foot  2 feet
     Longitudanl G's    0.01G   0.02G
     Lateral G's        0.01G   0.02G
     
     
     Other Info (needed)?

     Wheel/Tyre combination
