Good stuff. I love that telemetry overlay, I would love to upgrade to taht one of these days. constant 1.3G in the corner, god I miss having slicks! I can barely pull 1.1G without the car wanting to plow

Video is awesome!

I'd love to let a Z loose on the track like that.

I was using a borrowed logger. I'm looking to get one of my one, and this one looks like it has the best features for the money. A racing friend was using it at WGI and he liked it a lot. The DL version will also allow OBDII logging.

oh no question about that. Without know mods and power and such obviously I can't say a whole lot, but even if the GT-R was completely stock, and with all of the electronic control and such only being 1 second behind would make me really happy too.

my friend w his gtr w downpipes, exhuast and slicks, ran a 2:11 (beginner/novice driver)

Not to be rude... but what is your point?

That data logger looks interesting, a lot cheaper than traqmate too.

My friend in his almost stock gtr ran a 2.11. most likely its was a stock gtr that chris was behind or s similar set up to my buddy.

If your friend had a downpipe and exhaust, that adds A LOT Of power to a turbo car... a TBE on an Evo for instance often results in a 30-40 whp gain... and you are comparing it to a NA 370 that MIGHT be putting 320 whp to the ground.

I would say stock GTR or not the Z did very well.. and there were other cars that he also beat that "should" have beaten him.

Im not saying that stuff doesnt add hp. Plus that track (The Glen) isnt a hp track anyway. All i said it was CLOSE to stock or a SIMILAR set up to my friends bc they ran they ran almost the same time.

obv the car chris ran againt wasnt heavily modded. thats my point. im not trying to make an argument out of this

Yeah. Wow that's the cheapest GPS/data logging system I've seen so far.

Yes the GT-R I was running with was bone stock, he only has tires. After each session he would take it for a 10 minute slow drive to cool down the overheated transmission.
