A plud in interface? Man, that's way too easy. Another reason to want a C6.

As you said, damper displacement and ride height would be useful and I like to see steering shaft inputs.

I think I prefer the LCD dashes a little more because they show more data without scrolling and most have 4 programable warning lights which really help.

Some also have predictive lap timing, a neat feature.

It does have all of predictive timing and is plug in so you can see what Tony Stewart could do in your car if he was driving. I hate to say this on THIS forum, but the C4 has nothing on a C6Z, it is just a matter of $. It is like a F-4 Phantom versus an F-22 Raptor. I run quicker lap times than C4 GT-1 cars at NHMS, and I have A/C, Nav system, power windows and get 28 MPG on the highway.

That's one of the reasons I don't run my C4 on the track.

Gary's car sure it nice.
I've been around the track with him at speed.
Nothing like heading into a turn @ 150

I've owned my car too long to ever think about selling it.

I'll just have to see if I can give him a run for his money when my build is done

Thanks! The downside of a system like this will really show where one "needs improvement" or AKA "where you suck".

Wouldn't bug me.

I really want a data system.

Why people get all pi$$y when they find out where they're doing bad really puzzles me.

How do they expect to get better?

If someone on the track is faster than me, I just let them go.
I want to see what they're doing that I'm not!

Absolutly, me too. It lists torque as an output, as well as wheel speed on all 4. So, if you know the torque and wheel speeds, you have an active dyno. If you have wheel spin, you will see less torque.
