Default quick little question

I was just wondering how accurate the original G-Techs are supposed to be, I've heard the et is pretty on point but the top speed will usually be high

Here is my exp with G-Tech Accelerometer.

The MPH is ALWAYS!!!! WAY OFF. subtract about 5-8 typically.

But on my 86 Svo mustang the ET was accurate with in 2 10ths.
(turbo car w/5 spd)

On my 70 Falcon it was accurate (et) within 1 10th (said 13.50 ran 13.40)
but like I said the MPH was WAY off on all of them. (3spd auto, motor)

On a 00 Camaro the G-tech said 11.70's and @ the track it ran 11.60's (6spd,slicks,motor). But again the MPH was off (did 117ish G-tech said 124)

So IMO is pretty good "GUESS" on ET. they don't hold water on MPH.

I find it funny that the ET is pretty close Due to the fact the MPH is always off. Due to math you would naturally assume the ET would be off as well.

Just my 2 Cents.
