I know not many people have anything nice to say about the G-Tech ones, how accurate are these? I want it for speed cut but the other functions are a bonus.

Maurice, the G-Tech is based on g-forces and is not linked to the car, not knowing much about either I would say the RSM simply times how long before your speedo hits 100km/h. So if you are spinning the tyres and the speedo hits 100 it will not be a true reflection whereas the G-Tech can tell there is a reduced acceleration as you spin the tyres. Looks like the GPS ones may be the way to go soon.

GPS also is not very actuate at low speed, like under 20ks. However at high speed like above 60, it's very actuate. It's a really good tool to use on the highway/freeway to check your speedo (using my CarPC's satnav system). I found my speedo reads about 4km/h over the actual speed at around 110km/h.

It does have xxKms to xxxKms.
It also has 0meters to xxx meters.
I dont have the G sensor thing though. Doesnt really worry me, it has things like recording highest speed/rpm etc also has stuff like graphs with rpm Vs battery voltage vs speed. Anything it can measure, it can display. Also has the play back function.
Just some extra wank factor for getting past 180Kms.

Reading on the web, looks like an F6 typoon takes 3.8 seconds and a new LS2 commo takes 4.0 to do 80-120. 80-120 but is a sweet spot for an auto soarer as there is no gear change required. Its all 2nd gear. Interesting to see how stock TT soarer goes.
