Old thread, but fun topic. I have used dataloggers to come up with 0-60 times. It should be accurate enough for our purposes, these aren't lab experiments. The DSMlink sampled around every .05 seconds, the AEM PC logger is around every .01 or so, onboard logging is .004 at 250/sec. I want to say my previous best in this car was either 3.2 or 3.8 seconds, the program linked to above gave me 3.3. I'll verify when I get home.

The Gtechs have proven to be quite accurate, when set up properly. The mph is often higher by a couple due to the fact that the track doesn't actually give you your speed at the end of the quarter mile like the Gtech does, it takes an average over the last 60 feet which is somewhat lower. The more speed the car is picking up on the back end the greater the difference will be.

My best was on this run (3.50). Read from a GTimer:

Forgot about this thread. Just checked one of my logs from last summer, when I got the 1.59 on the snow tires. 0-60 was 3.3 seconds. Looks like that program wasn't far off... Checked my fastest run in the 2g (11.3 at 126) for comparison, 1.9 sec 60 foot, but still 3.44 0-60.
