I've got one... I played with it alot & if you get good at setting it up it will be more accurate. I set it up in one of my uncles cars... It was pretty consistant running around 13.5 Took the car to the track a week later and ran 3- 13.3's. But no matter what I did the mph was always high... It's fun to play with (I've run it in every car me or my parents have ever owned
) But it'll only give you a rough idea... The trick is to be very **** when you calibrate it and to make sure you use a very level straight strech of road...

How much of a pain are these things to set up? I want to get one, but my parents would through a fit. I would have to take it down after everytime I used it to hide it, and was wondering if it was worth the effort.

I have the old one. I tried it at the track and ran a 12.1@117 and the gtech said 12.8@113. It's has to be calibrated perfectly to give you a good idea. I never tried the expensive one (i think it's called the gtech pro competition or something) but I heard that's pretty good because it doesn't have to be leveled perfectly like the other one.

I've got the Competition Pro model, and it's pretty darn close.
