Well I know thats not true though. On my Gtech the only reason you enter
the weight is for HP measurement. The Gtech uses an accelerometer, not to
different from the ones used for your air bag, anyway, the accelerometer
measures your acceleration over a period of time, there for it can easily
calculate the speed and the distance with respect to time and give you 1/4
times and trap speed, as well as 0-60 times, and 60 - 0 times with out
weight....
