Ahhh.....that was it......
Thanks......might be a cool addition....I've also been
thinking about the new 6~7" DVD/TV screens that pop out of the head unit and
have inputs so you could hook a PC up to it......big $$ difference, but you
would get more out of it too.
Well.....I won't be getting either anytime
soon.....just eyecandy right now ;)
later

The previous version of the Gtech
prop could not measure more than 1G force accurately thus why it doesn't like
our hard launches.
The new unit measures over 1 G force in
4 directions.
Should be all good to go
now!

I know there was some dispute
about the accuracy of the "first" generation of the GTECH......from what I
remember, it didn't work well with our trucks because of the AWD - don't
quote me on that, I'm tired right now or I would look it up.
From the
Quicktime movie, it looks like the data logged can be downloaded into a PC
and anylized - It would be nice of someone had access to a demo to give
their thoughts on it - other than it looks cool.
