Anyone have any experiance these, such as the Escort Passport GT2? Do they work as advertised and how accurate are they?

The only one I have heard of it the G-Tech Pro. It does 0 to 60 times, 1/4 mile and a few other things. But for $200 I'll wait till their $50.

Done some research since origional post, found several options out there ranging from $80 to $300. Units are avalible from Belltronics, Fx1, EscortPassport GT & GT2, Tazzo VPC and GTech SS & RR. Anyone have some experiance with these? I have interest because a good dyno is about an hour and a half from me and the quarter mile trck isnt too far but my busy schedule, family, makes it real hard to get there.

Ok. Looks like this is not a very popular item with the forum so I will get one and let everyone know how it goes along the way. First thing in the spring I will get a baseline dyno done, drive and all, and I will compare it against the VPC. Afetr I will go to the quarter mile track and baseline some numbers and compare that. After all this baseline work I will install parts that I have waiting to go on and I will post results.

Later,
Darion
