Thumbs up G-Tech Competition review....

My first thoughts regarding the G-Tech competition is........WOW very cool smaller then I thought but it works.
Now to my first gripe the bracket suuucks big time, why is it so hard to make such a simple device work properly this
thing falls of the windsheild over and over agin..HEEEELP.
My valentine one never ever fell of (Hint Tesla).
My secon gripe...I can't read the display with polarized
sunglases except if I tilt my head 90degrees.
My third The shift lights are staged so 1,2,or four LED's
commes on depending on the rpm, the problem is you can't tell in the heat of action if 1,2 or 4 LED's are lit? why not use amber for 1,green for 2 and then red for the last 2
LED's.Every other sequential shift light uses this combination..
Now to the good stuff(and there is a lot)The user interface
is easy to use, setup relatively painfree thank god.
Today was a wet and fairly cold day so traction was hard to find a poor 7.3second but the mind blower was
177hp at the wheels and 199ftlbs of torque the only uppgrade on my steed is a supertrapp muffler.
when the run is done you can access the memory and show
shift points/rpm,hp,torque 60'time 1/4mile etc..
Now this review of the G-tech unit is only my opinion
and I only had it for a very short time but even with the small problems that I did encountered In can highly recomend
this unit
