good luck with it and I hope this version has fixed the lightened rear end problem, that can kill comming from high speeds down fast. I have heard that it takes 1500lbs of downforce to keep that rear end stable and if you do not have it, well...there is plenty of videos on the net showing what happens.
I think these cars are around $100k. I do love the looks of vipers, but I think I would opt for a ZO6 or the new LS9 equipped vette soon to come out, much more stable platform, but hell a 996tt with 10k of tune makes as much or more hp than either.

One of the reasons I run tape is to make sure I have a clock capturing it, but I do agree that a data aquisition unit is key, which is why I'm buying one from another member here who just contacted me within the last 24 hours.
Drew, I'll hate to see you switch cars, but know I'll still see you out there... Go with whatever will take you the furthest in your auto sport quest!

I would say that you should definitely get a Traqmate system now as when you start running what looks like real times (which you certainly are), then the proof should be there to back it up for those who believe otherwise. Ill will admit though, 130 something does seem a BIT high into the esses with your setup that day, but I wont say impossible as I know how often I proved people wrong. As for holding down the fort in the NE, it looks Mike may need to take sole control...there is a possibility that I can trade my car straight up for a car that RHYMES with GTR (ehem...can anyone say 600 hp v10 w 1200 lbs of downforce?)
