The more i think about it, a 1.8 ton car doing 0-60 in 4.1 and in the wet seems too fast to be true.
I assume you were doing these on flat land, and not down hill...

It was off the end of a cliff!!
To be fair the wet thing doesnt make that much difference! Said all along it would be around the 4 second mark!

Nice little gadget. Sampling rates are very low so data is questionable - still a usefull tool though.

From the G Circle looks like you've been doing a lot of hard straight line braking

It works by GPS like sat nav, except the engine in it is a lot faster than a sat nav so updates around 10 times per second! Its accurate to 0.1mph so its about as accurate as your going to get without professional timing gear!
