Default Torque app performance test accuracy?

Running Torque app off a WiFi OBD2 dongle.
How accurate are the 0-60mph, 0-100kmh etc tests?

It should be pretty accurate as it gets its speed info from the ecu. Way better than those gps apps you get for your phone anyway. My record for 0-100 is around 3 sec, I'll let you work out how that happened

Haha I'm assuming there may have been some tyre slip involved....

My best to date 0-100 is 5.5. Seems a bit slow as I've done a 12.9 at Calder.

Although my speedo reads about 3kmh slow. 100kmh on my dash is actually 103kmh. That shouldn't be that much of a difference though?

i have one called "car performance"
its usually pretty good i only use 1 road for it and cap my speed at 105 as its a 100 zone so basically all legal
i use is when i change something on my car
my AU went from 8.45s to 7.49s and its consistent
it may not be accurate but the numbers it spits out are comparable for my use anyway
