[W126 Coupe] 0-60 times?

[Mike R.]

The G-tech is supposed to be accurate to within .01 seconds, so if it's off
a lot, it shouldn't make much difference. Last time I did this, I used
another G-tech identical to this one.

 

Just got off the phone with Bob C here in Vegas and he wants to try it too,
so his stock SEC will be a great guide as to how realistic were my times.

Mike

How accurate is the g-tech?  I imagine it can give you a good idea but...?
What did you use to get the 0-60 the last time?

Went out last night and did the final runs on the SEC before the conversion
work starts. I wasn't particularly pleased with the results but it is what
it is. The empty, dead - end road I found was not especially level. 

 

For the mathematicians amongst us, can these 0-60 times be corrected to sea
level? How much did I lose in time as the runs were made almost 3,000 feet
above seal level? 

 

This car dyno'd 194 rwhp a month ago and did around 7.0 second 0-60's a
couple of years ago in Antioch, CA (500' MSL). I was surprised to see
results this slow.
