Performance Meter
Hi, was wondering if anybody ever used the performance meter http://www.race-technology.com/WebPa.../AP22Home.html
AP - 22 on his C5???
I am looking for the settings to enter to get it more accurate, like for my Z06, what is the Cda, rolling resistance, tilt factor and roll factor??
I can keep the default settings but it is less accurate this way.
anybody?? :steering:

Sorry guy; I can't give any info. I once was looking into another mfgrs offering similar to this, but read on various car forums that there is too much "approximation" and the figures aren't realistic enough - especially the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.
So, I gave up on the idea.

Re: Performance Meter (vai)
I recently purchased a Passport G*Meter GT2 which essentially is similar to what you are looking at, but at a smaller/cooler package. Check http://www.escortradar.com for a list of its full functions.
I have started playing with this toy, and will be purchasing the cable/software to download the few runs that I had done. Do a search here and see how guys compare it to an actual track run.

Re: Performance Meter (Mike Mercury)
Actually they're very accurate, they are even more accurate in some things. Trap speed is the exact speed athe end of a 1/4 mile, on a track, they average the last 60-100 feet to abtain a trap speed. On my mfgr, it's the exact speed at the end
I also tried my mfgr on a 300m and some other stock cars, and it was only off by about 1%(max), and this is the accuracy I'm trying to correct with my Z be entering the values I'm looking for...
It's an incredible tool, when you can't always make it to the track....
later dudes!
