C6 owners interested in datalogging vehicle parameters
may want to look into an interface that enables data
from OEM sensors to be logged along with GPS position,
accelerometer loads and input from any external sensors
that a user has.

The interface consists of a cable that plugs into the
scan port of the vehicle and runs to the datalogger.
Hook-up is plug-and-play. Here are the parameters that
are drawn from OEM sensors by the interface.

1. Engine RPM
2. Throttle Position
3. Throttle Pedal Position
4. Oil Temperature
5. Water Temperature
6. Transmission Temperature
7. Intake Temperature
8. Battery Volts
9. Wheel RPM (all four wheels)
10. Yaw
11. Torque
12. Horsepower
13. Brake Pedal Position
14. Gear Position

Vehicles like my C4 with ECM/PCM that DON'T support this
ODB interface require require hardware to be purchased and
mounted to log inputs beyond the system defaults. Even
finding a suitable source for the default RPM capability
is sometimes a challenge and may require a third-party
signal conditioner. Other external inputs can cost $200+
per channel.

However, for less than the price of three external sensors
(and none of the installation drama), folks with the C6
platform can just plug in the new interface and receive
14 channels. Of these, the wheel RPM & Yaw inputs are
particulary remarkable because they present more challenge
and cost to implement through external sensors.

I saw this at PRI, and I was extremely impressed. I think I will end up getting this with the G2X pro. I spoke to Tim Anderson (423.968.5429, tim aht racepak.com.) and it looks like the G2X Pro is better for me since I do so much shock and spring development, I can add the shock displacement transducers and ride height sensors. For most guys the cheaper G2X is the way to go, and it has a very cool small dash to go with it as well.
