I'm 5'8" or 5'9ish. I weighed 135lbs until I was 25 years old and the metabolism took a dive. I used to eat those 1000calorie shakes all the time trying to bulk up while working out...now I'm eating 100 calorie dinners to lose the gut now that I'm coming up on 32 years old.

I need to lose 15-20.....maybe stop eating pasta?

So the total weight for my car would be about 3033 plus whatever the baby seat weighs!

I took out some tools from the Lancer I was bringing home from my friends shop yesterday (the stealth is getting new turbos right now) so that might drop 10 lbs or so right there.

well the results are in:

the white box and black line in the graph is from yesterday with the wrong weight but great 1/4 run (I think it might have been slightly downhill.. I mean very slightly) the latter two runs in red and green were on perfectly flat ground.. again loads of wheelspin so I was really feathering the throttle. There's no doubt in my mind that this car will hit 14's on a sticky track.

The HP figures don't seem to be far off... ~ 140hp to the ground at best + 15% for drivetrain loss puts you really close to 160hp at the flywheel.

overall I'm very pleased with the g-tech pro RR and my lil RalliArt. I'll have to give it another go when I get some new front tires.

I can't wait to put it on my stealth. Based on the traps and weight I was guessing around 475awhp last year, but I'm expecting the traps to go from 119mph to 130+mph this year and ~ 700awhp. I'll be taking the g-tech with me to the track to verify it's accuracy like I did with the old g-tech pro model which was accurate to the hundreths and sometimes thousandth on the E.T but it always showed about 6mph faster than the track. The new g-tech has some rollout and pitch featuers which can be adjusted so I should be able to dial that in if it's off.

Hmmm....that little thing is pretty slick. Looks to be approximately accurate too.

The only thing is that most truck scales are only accurate within about 20 lbs so I can only approximate.

i would be extreemely interested in it. i plan on corner balancing my car soon and this would give me a rough guide. pls weight it on a low tank too. send me a pm as we are having a HUGE sale at my dealership this week and i prolly wont be able to get to the puter much.
