G-TECH meter

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

I am hearing a lot about the GTECH meter, does anyone know how it works, is it worth it, and any buyers?

Thanks
Mark

I have had a G-Tech Pro for about 4 years. I had an older model prior to that which was more difficult to work. I think this unit works well. The times and speed will be a little better than a track due to the fact that the G-Tech times the entire 1/4 mile as opposed to the track, which averages the last 60 feet. For the price, it's a good deal and quite accurate. There are other devices such as the Vericom which are more versatile, but considerably more expensive and harder to use. The G-Tech simply plugs into the cigarette lighter.

The G-Tech Pro is a great tool & toy for automotive enthusiasts who want to test performance and verify modifications. They're quite accurate as long as you set them up properly (level them to 0.0 on the windshield & test on a level road). The only thing that comes into play that can affect readings slightly is the lift and dive of the nose of the car during acceleration & braking tests. I use one to "quick test" many things. But when it's time to get accurate, we break out the Competition Data Systems Commander II. G-Tech pro retails at $139.95, Comp Data TMII system $7,500. The G-Tech Pro is a great bang for the buck.

Happy Holidays,

Can it run off batteries, say if I were to use it on my motorcycle? I know it has a 1.3G limitation and I may encounter that pretty often on the bike, but I'm curious all the same.

Since it has a cigarette lighter plug on it, buy a socket or extension at an auto parts store and wire it to the 12V battery on the bike.
