These things use an accelerometer and then integrate to find times. Just like physics class...

I was looking at them as well, and have a thread started on here (accelerometers) trying to dig up info like this. Thanks for your info! I imagine they are not 100% accurate with respect to what you might get with going to the track. I am more interested in seeing the differences when mods are added to a car, so if it is CONSISTENT and relatively accurate, I would be mostly concerned with that.

Thanks again for the info,
Rock

If your just buying it to see how your new mods affect performance you need it to have good consitancy.
