That's sick. I would love to have something like that. I don't like how it looks on the dash though.

I thought it looked really good inperson and seamed to be in a good spot (on the A-pillar).

haha i want one for my ms3 It was neat, but maybe they could have a auto rotator for the meters, since its real time and if you are driving crazy flipping through them may not be god. And/Or have data logging. I also think it should change color to match the car, which I think it did, there was gray, white, red, yellow, black and something else. I mentioned up to $500 I'd pay.

I think they should have a usb/firewire port on the unit that can plug into a laptop that can stream data to the laptop (using a application) OR put more memory in the unit with a usb/firewire port to download the data later. I like the real time data, but to be useful it needs to be logged.

Im sure it will be...after 09 the SS/TC is dead.

They also talked about making one for the LSJ, which would be awesome but only time will tell.
