Installed My G-Tech...
Just got my G-Tech performance meter installed:
http://www.socalhhr.citymax.com/i/Hi...60_Time_Sm.jpg http://www.socalhhr.citymax.com/i/Hi...ile_Run_Sm.jpg This will be a great asset in determining the effects of performance modifications. I'm still dialing it into the car's launch characteristics, but once it's set, it will be worth its weight in gold! For those not familiar, the G-Tech Pro SS measures: Horsepower Torque 60ft (reaction) times 1/8 and 1/4 mile times 0-60 & 0-100 times RPM & Shiftlights (for those with 5-speeds) Handling G's Records up to 30 runs Find out more and see a video HERE Pretty handy for anyone interested in how modifications are affecting your performance. We will be using it a lot around here... :thumb: |
I like the warning. :D That will sure to deter me! ;)

Congrats, broke into the 15s...is that with the muffler being the only mod? I think it was Motor Trend that said the 5-spd is about 1/2 sec quicker in the quarter mile (16.6 vs 16.1). It seems like the HHR has a decent amout of power to be tapped into and let loose. To each their own, but I for one am all about making my ride quicker...hell, they even have lawn mower races on ESPN.

That thing is small! In fact, I don't think it's much bigger than my pacemaker :p:

Do you think those times are fairly accurate? I really hope so! Here are some comparison figures for other cars that were tested in stock form. Most times are from published car magazine tests. The 0-60 times are first then the 1/4 mile times are next.

Watch the video in my post above and you will see just how accurate the G-Tech is!
Of course, it doesn't help to have a little racing experience either... |

I'm wanting high 14's. That is if mine ever gets here. It's been a full month now and the salesman told me Saturday that 2-13-06 is supposed to be the build week, but he still doesn't have a VIN yet. Sounds like it will be another month.

Sounds like "turbo time" for you... :eek: |
