how accurate are those quartermile measuring devices that you put in your car? can they actually take a good time on the car and how do they work?

 

Try your question in Gen D.



More Traffic...

 

Can you move it to Gen d or should i just start a thread?

 

moved

 

They are based on a perfect launch and no traction problems.

 

if you have a naked chick in your car the time is quicker.



kevin.

 

if i had a naked chick in martin's car....... the springs and shocks will be fucked up

 

so you can say it's fairly accurate in a world of perfectness? and how does it measure the 1/4 mile?

 

I would think its based on when the thing senses forward motion or

some ****.

 

They're not bad assuming you have your vehicles exact weight.

Not the gross weight on the door sticker, but off an actual scale.

It works how radar does, it measures from a fixed horizion.

So it needs to be a straight road with good traction.
