I am considering the purchase of one of these units, it seems the provide a lot of useful information that can be downloaded to your PC. Does anyone have one of these ??? Opinions are welcomed.

Trying to see if there is interest in a group purchase.

Car and Driver May 2005 issue has an article that tests 7 different perfomance meters. This one is in the article.

Tesla Electronics G-Tech/Pro RR

Highs: Good accuracy without calibration, fantastically useful PC software, lots of unique features that you learn to appreciate.

Lows: Sunlight can make the screen difficult to read.

Verdict: It does a lot for $300.

"We really grew to like the G-Tech/Pro RR. For starters, it's the only one of the accelerometer-based units that measures acceleration in the vertical plane. Theoretically, that means the G-tech can detect how dramatically the car pitches during an acceleration run and automatically correct for it. We found that only the $960 Race Technology AX22 was measurably closer to drag lights without calibration. Also, when it was installed in the Envey, the G-tech recorded the same 60-to-0 stopping distances as the VBOX (which is a pro level device costing $11,000).

...the G Tech has two unique features. It has shift lights that flash at a designated rpm to signal when it's time to shift gears. Plus, there's a simulated drag-strip starting system that tests your reaction time...

...it was the computer software that really set the G-tech apart...the G-tech has internal memory to record sata that can be downloaded onto a computer.
With the software installed on your computer, you can review and compare drag-strip runs. Since the unit also logs rpm, you can see which shift points improved acceleration...

If you can stretch your budget to $300, you won't be disappointed.
