Not really sure where to post this but, thought the FI guys would appreciate this. I came across this article on the Car and Driver website, basically it sounds like a G-Tech on steroids and could be useful for guys that Drift, Track or just want to see how their Z performance on the street(I'm not condoning street racing). Personally, I'm more impressed with good track times and performance figures than Dyno #'s.

Here's the article:

We don't sell these yet but, if there is interest we may add this product to our line-up. Maybe a group buy? Please post your thoughts.

Thanks,
Gary

When you break 100,000 points does it flash DRIFT KING across your windshield?





Just kidding... looks like an interesting piece of equipment.

I was looking for one a few months ago to time laps with at HPDEs, bt couldn't really find a retailer out here for them. So I guess count me as interested.

Could likely get a much better response in the auto-x/road racing section....is a trick unit though I showed it to a friend of mine who auto-x's.

So you thought it was trick huh, that's good to hear. That's a good idea with the racing section, I guess I'll post there too.

Did it help your driver's or crew? Could see it helping to dial in the car.
