Merry Christmas to this crazy group of guys.

COLD, tires don't stick Dan, at least mine don't. Don't know what you have on the Lambo. If you bring the Skylark I'll take my Explorer.

Absolutely!

It's pretty cool. You calibrate it to the RPM's then put in the weight of the vehicle, and then average pitch from take-off angle and then click the button.

Some lights flash...

And then you NAIL IT. It will calculate your 0-60, 1/4 mile, Net HP, and G-forces during the run. (Even does lateral G's too!)

According to it, the Subi's got 150 Net HP, which should be pretty close because the factory says it's got 170. Also, it says that the subi can pull up to .28 G's of acceleration.

I thought it would be kinda gimicky, but actually it's really fun. We should definately run the Lambo with it. I'll do the NSX when some rain washes the crap off the roads. Something about salt and Aluminum...

Also, I got a GPS system that measures Top speed acheived to within .01 mph accuracy. (So far the Subi's done 109.2 mph)

For the performance figures, you don't need the wieght to be that spot-on. For the HP calculations, the weight can be close. The manual says to just go by the Manufacture's stated weight + the passengers.

Oh, and BTW, HAPPY NEW YEARS!
