Post What Do You Think???

So Santa gave me a G-Tech/Pro for Xmas at my fathers house- sweet. Needless to say, most of the drive home was done in 0-60mph and 1/4 mile intervals. Anyways, before I used it I read the whole booklet cover to cover, and agonized to make sure it was mounted straight on my windshield (as well as zeroing out the G's before each run). John893 was with me for 2 of the 3 best runs, so he can verify that I'm not making the #'s up, but I wanted to see what you guys think. I was pretty skeptical of the results at first (since many were faster than other members "modded" times), but it was only 11 degrees outside, and I know Lightning's like to breathe cold dense air. Do you guys think these results are valid for the most part (see sig)??? Thanks...

Best G-Tech/Pro Results (with John893 as a witness):
(Bone stock, F1's, 6200 miles, 11 degrees F outside):
0-60mph = 4.66s
1/4 mile = 13.38s
RWHP = 387

i run bone stock 0-60 in 5.2 in 38 degrees and 13.68 in 1/4 and 326rwhp, i have run a low of 5.05 in 34 degree so maybe! these trucks seem to start to run good at 6k miles. that still seems very fast

Those are quick times, and I know what our trucks are capable of (the heater, too), as I have driven it at 45 below. Traction sucks at those temps, but I can imagine the power gain. I notice the colder the air, the longer I stay ahead of my SS buddies...

I mentioned my 5.6 0-60 on some board and got laughed at, even it was too quick. I would just take it for what its worth.

I tried the stop watch idea on my way from Vegas, as part of the highway was marked every 1/4 mile (how convenient), didn't have the g-tech then, but when my buddy said go, we went through the traps (next set of markers) around 14 seconds later.
