G-Tech Pro Competition Performance Meter
I have used a G-Tech Pro for years and its a neat device but left a little to be desired in what it would do. Like record multiple runs, for instance.
Their new generation meter is now out and it cures all of the old G-Tech Pro problems. It uses 4 accellerometers instead of 1.
It can store 1 hour of data and play it back on the LCD screen or a PC.
It now records times to 1/100 of a sec.
Check it out it is a very cool gadget. BTW I have no affiliation with G-Tech, I just love cool gadgets! :D
Also, on their website it says coming Winter 2002 but I just called JC Whitney (it showed them in their newest catalog) and they have 48 in stock so I ordered one. :)

Please give us some reports as soon as you guys do some evaluations! I too am a sucker for gadgets (have too many digital weather stations around the house and my wife said not to buy any more or else!).

Re: G-Tech Pro Competition Performance Meter (2k2C5)
That makes sense, thank you. I think Mid America also has it but they were saying that the $249.00 listed int the catalog was an error and are asking $349.00. If Whitney or summit are sticking with the $249.00 price one of them will get my order. I also have the original G tech pro. Does ;the new one have to be perpetualy leveled to O and have the vehicle weight reentered every time you turn the unit on and off?

All I can say is that Mid America won't sell any at $100 more than everyone else. I'm thinking they had to be mistaken about the price since JC Whitney and Summit have them for $249.

Re: G-Tech Pro Competition Performance Meter (sandyg)
I now have it... It was kind of a pain to do the calibration, but other than that it's cool. It's a little smaller then I thought it was goindg to be. I haven't used it for times yet, but after dinner I plan on doing a few runs.
Here are some pics... (sorry for the poor quality...)

Re: G-Tech Pro Competition Performance Meter (wave_3)
Cool pictures. I can't wait to see how this one stacks up compared to the old one accuracy-wise. Has anyone run the old and new side-by-side yet? I was shopping for a gtech last winter but when I found out a new model was on the way I decided to wait. There was another company (can't remember the name) that sells a similar device and they too were coming out with a new version.
