(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Received the g-tech meter on Friday, just 2 days from order for $50.00. Thanks for the link.
Ok, I can brake at .96 G's, accelerate at .31 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) turn at over 1.2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) .. What can you do?????? I know you 6 boys will have me in acceleration...but..... I am running falken azenis 205.50.15's at 28# on all 4 corners.....175 # rear springs, 23mm front bars and both sway bars.... Lets see what you got!!! herb |

QUOTE(ArtechnikA @ Oct 15 2003, 07:45 PM) for a power approximation, obviously a mass estimate is required. how the device can tell the difference between mass and drag (aero and mechanical) is beyond me... Your point is perfectly valid. A reduction in drag (all else remaining the same) would increase the acceleration of the car and this would be calculated as an increase in power at the driving wheels. Made me go back and look at my old physics book. Apparently they measure acceleration on a "frictionless table". A chassis dyno would also have some drag associated with it and this may be the same as the drag produced by the road. The difference would be the aerodynamic drag. If I'm not mistaken, the power that the G-TECH Pro records should be the same as the chassis dyno minus the power lost due to aerodynamic drag. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
