Very cool product all should have!!
My friend showed me this product it's so cool. It is called a dragy gps.
It is a small gps that you stick you your car. download the app. It does 0-60, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 60-130.... it is dead on with his time slips. There is also a leaderboard you can upload you time too. You can video your run and it adds the time to the video. It looks like a video game.. Best part, $149.00 |

They have had the Gforce things out for years. They used to get hated on, but a decade later I would think products would be better. Thats cool that he can direct compare them to the verified time slips.

I have an app called "Streetrace". It gives you red/yellow/green countdown, and tracks distance/speed via gps. You can do 1/4, 1/8, or 0-60/0-100. Since I live in town, I don't get a chance to move beyond the 45mph speed limits and dense population. Hell... even on the 1/8 mile, I am still turning about upper 70's/80's, which is enough to get me tossed in jail. Now if I lived out toward the sticks, it'd be a different story...

The G force uses an SD card and is $499+. This goes right to your phone. If all your friends have it you can post to the leader board or just send the video with the time slip. Some guy's on you tube have good info on it.

I'm surprised you don't need a body guard!

In my experience as a traffic cop I can say that most cops are car people and won’t ticket an old muscle car unless you are just doing something ridiculous like running top end on residential straightaways. Once when I had my first 64 I was running about 85 in a 65 and a policeman turned around on me. I immediately pulled over and waited for him to come to the window. He just laughed and asked me what I had in it. When I told him all about it he said thanks for pulling over cause if you had taken off I would have never gotten this dinosaur turned around in time (crown Vic) and just smiled and told me to slow down

Better than keyboard racing or bench racing. Pick your place when the time feels right and do your 1/4 mile. Let your buddy borrow it and do the same thing when he feels right. Loser pays for the device. Its a big deal to get busted for willful competition on public thoroughfare around here. Impound car , immediate license revoke , insurance cancelled , then the judge. |

The street racers it helps a bunch. All the fast guys have it now. They can see how fast they run on the street, and tune to the road for the best pass!

ive used older g-techs for a long time, its not gps, just an accelerometer, but even they are pretty accurate if you enter the right weight of your car & a couple other specs. i verified mine to be within 1-2 10ths of track time slips.
but that gps one sounds cool too, there are apps for smart phones that do this too. |

i havent used the seperate sensor thing so cant comment on that... i would guess that it should be the same as the cell phone app though, unless its a new improved hi-tech GPS thingy. for this type of thing GPS should be GPS....
i was doubtfull the older g-techs worked veryt well, i remember seeing the early ones back in the 90's that look like a little radar detector, they were too expensive for me back then when i was a kid... but i found a good deal on the better ones with digital read out screens that look like the GPS units you attach to your windshield about 10 years ago & wanted to try it out. i tested in 2 different cars & found it to be pretty accurate for what it was. plus its neat to watch it show corner G forces & has a digital tach. |

Holley has a 2 axis g-meter now that integrates with their' EFI ECUs:
https://www.holley.com/products/fuel.../parts/554-162 X and Y axis, wide range, and you can have it output to the digital gauge panel. List price is $270, but sure it will come down some after it's been out a while. .

dragy test
Got the dragy gps, really cool, records all sorts of stuff and you can customize it.
This was a virgin road, bad tires, spun 1st and some of second. I left at 5 psi and the rest of the run was 8-9 psi. I have a bunch of suspension work I will do over the winter. Everyone shouls buy a dragy for $149!! https://youtu.be/iS8sq3EIzAE |

I just ordered one of these Dragy's from Amazon. They're $159 now. I'm hoping for good weather so I can do some testing before the new motor goes in just to see the before and after. But, it's gonna be tight since the motor's coming out soon and the weather here isn't great and still lots of de-icers on the road so we'll see.

There are plenty of youtube videos that show how well it compares to actual time slips. From what I've seen on the tube it's very accurate, usually within a couple hundredths, similar to what is shown above. I used to have a Passport GT2 that was OK but it eventually bit the dust. I'm eager to try this one. Although, I'm afraid it will show just how bad of a driver I am... LOL. Nah, I'll just blame it on the car.
