Accuracy

[Mike_Levy]

How accurate is the Trinitys acceleration numbers? Trying to figure out about what my truck runs. Ran it last night in the 1/8 (because she'l hit nearly 120 in the 1/4 and I wanna keep my license), and it seems quicker then it should be. Ran a [email protected], which equates to about an 11.8 1/4. I'm having a hard time believing that I'm driving an 11 second Jeep.

Since it doesn't measure true distance traveled only tire rotation, if you have any tire slipage, it still counts it. So you could just do a long smokey burn out and get a really good 1/4 time but only really travel ~50yards.

In my SRT-4, I hit a 4.0s 0-60 while spinning through 2nd gear.

I'm not really all that worried about the wheelspin issue, as I have AWD. Its just that fact that getting 5,000lbs to 60 in 3.5 seconds and through an eighth in 7.6 seems like it would go against physics. Thats a helluva lot of mass to move.

The point is there's plenty of sources for errors in the Trinty's ET clock/odometer.

agree with the comment above. it should only be used to compare your car before and after a mod

Well, when we tested it at the track, it was within .2 all night on the 300SRT8 with wheelspin, and within a few hundredths on our duramax...so, it is consistent.
