Btw: the 0-60 seems pretty close but the 1/4 mile compared to slip seems off by about .3 to .6 all the time. 10mhz and 5mhz gps settings tried.

It sort of makes sense that the quarter mile times would be off by more (in a relative sense). Speed is probably reasonably accurate; a car needs to sense speed reasonably well. Distance is probably not bad at the scale of a mile, but I think there is probably several car lengths worth of error in what the car measures to be a quarter mile. Now, if distance comes from GPS, then I would expect even more error.

This is just guessing, but it seems intuitively satisfying (which is what really matters at the end of the day).
