How did you test it 0-60? If you are an auto that is probably not that bad

G-force is not the most accurate way to measure. Do a search on it you'll find the arguments. Go to the track and see what your baby does there.

That thing must not be accurate as an auto should do 7.6 stock. The best thing to do is measure your 1/4 mile time at the track, that tells much more then 0-60.
Good Luck,
Paul

0-60 time doesn't really matter. The 1/4 mile time is more important.

thats sounds about right for gtech on an auto, on my 5spd gtech read anywhere from 5.9 seconds to 6.8seconds all on the way u mount it on the windsheild.

1) G-Techs aren't all that accurate
2) 0-60 time means basically nothing... an extra 1/2 second of tirespin and you go from a decent time to a crappy time
3) You're an automatic, 7.6 on G-tech is pretty good I'd say
4) I'm one of the quickest N/A 4th gens on this board, and I struggle to get under 7.0 seconds on my G-tech... yet I run 14.4 1/4 mile times all day long.

The lesson here is, just because you can't get a decent 0-60 time on a G-Tech does not mean your car is slow. I can't get a good 0-60 time on my G-Tech for ****, yet I am still the most consistently quick N/A on this board.

I'm have an auto and was able to get 15.6 in the 1/4. I figure my 0-60 times would be in the area of 7.0 to 7.1 seconds.
