Here's a good definition:

"The faster car is the one that was not on your ar$e last lap, but is there now."

You can say that again. Over the last few days I've been bragging to anyone who'll listen about that ride. Truly a highlight in my life up to this point

Never saw that before George. Does it plug into your car's bus or is it strictly GPS based? Compare it to the IQ3 in both size and capability, is it on par?

Heres a practice lap from Chris last year... looks to be around a 2:04... he did some 2:02s or better at the event. So now you can relive the experience. Me, I got 10 seconds to drop.

It's a stand alone unit, just plugs into the power. Has 3 segment times. I don't know anything about it, or the IQ3, so I can't make a comparison.

It's been inferred it could be a POS. Many have suggested the IQ3.

Pass on it... IQ3 as a minimum, followed by the AIM Pista or Pro, then the Motec. If you go AIM i'll let you know what extras to get. The Data HUB and Data Key are a must have IMO...

I had a great time this weekend as well. The weather was the best I'd ever seen at this event. Usually just stupid hot!! My student was great and the car ran perfect.

Overall i thought Black was good. Only once was I given a pass and not allowed to complete it. Late on the back straight and no lifting from the other car.
