Anyone Have The G-Tech Pro?

[DodgeViper01]

Does anyone have the G-Tech Pro? How well does it work? Would you suggest getting it? I am very interested to see how well it works since I think I would like to get it. Any feedback would be greatly appricated.

Thanks again in advance

I had a G-Tech Pro. It was okay but very difficult to use (needed near perfect alignment in the car). The data it showed could not be saved and was quite limited. I ended up buying a G-Tech Competition Pro (about $200 more). Much better. Has pc software and uploading capability. Sold the Pro soon after. Worth the additional cost.

I'm sure you can get a smokin deal on ebay..Most people sell them after a couple months..The novelty wears off.

I know a few people that have them and they claim that they work great !

Cheers

I agree, the Copmitition version is the way to go, but...

About a year ago then said this summer they would support recording data on a road-course track (not just 1/4 mile drag) and real-time output to a PC (so you could record the data in real-time, in the event the time you spent on the track exceeded the memory of the unit. They're now "not responding" to inqueries about road-course use, and are saying real-time will not be offered.

I was hot to buy, but haev since cooled off, as after the 1/4 mile run, it'll just sit on the shelf until I change something on the car and want to do another run. Being able to have all the data from cornering would be much better, as then you could get your worse, best, and average lateral G's for EACH corner on the track.

So, while I'm waiting for the new feautes, I'm hunting for another devise with a real-time output (that costs about the same).

I'd suggest the local club chip in & buy one, then "rent" it to it's members!

I have one. Works fine. Not having memory capacity *****. I find myself looking at the G-Tech display during runs, instead of devoting my full attention to the road.

It is a fun little toy, but in my experience the results were quite different from the track.

Thank you everyone for the info. I guess I will get one for some fun

For those of you that have the G-Tech Pro, what kind of g forces have you seen it read when accelerating hard in your Vipers?
