Now on a nicer note, DB2k can you tell us how the G-Tech and other like products work, and what times you have seen for 3800 II V6 powered cars, such as the L36 and L67... Thanks Shawn...

Those first numbers seem a little too fast for whats in you're car, but then again the 95 SE is light. 15.55 sounds much closer to the real deal.
One thing I noticed with the G-tech, when I compare G-force curves on the computer, is that if Traction Control is off and I let the tires spin, I get a slight lag of force but then the G'* jump higher than with TC on. Also the 60ft and 330ft times are slower with TC off, but after that the times are faster. Confused? I am too.

Let me qualify my impression of the Gtech Pro-comp:
I believe it to be the most accurate of all the performance meters out there (about 6 that I know of, including it'* predecessor), but the more I use it, the more I wonder about it'* consistency.
Much of it'* accuracy seems to revolve around how it'* set up. Nothing can compare to a real timeslip, but a Gtech, if properly set up can get you CLOSE. I have alot more to learn about mine, and I've got some times behind me with the older model for comparison.
Jury is still out. We've got about a half dozen GTPC meters here now, so maybe some more reviews are 'waiting in the wings' as the weather turns ripe for runs this spring.

I think they are great for judging differences in setups, but having them properly dialed in is hard, no matter what #'* you use. Every car is different, and 1/4 tank of fuel difference will produce different #'*. I think the thing you want to do is get your car weighed on a big scale, for the best starting point, then take it to a track, and see how that compares to your slips.
I think the weight difference between say a 95 and a 94 isn't much, and with more gas, and junk in your trunk it won't matter. If you woulda run some runs with it before mods, that would've helped alot. But otherwise they sound slightly fast for a car with just an exhaust, what are your braking #'* with those new rotors? 0-60/100-0 on that GTPC?
