> Oh...and my hula girl mounted on the dash! an interesting small article in the last issue (January) of Road & Track, about el cheapo 'performance' meters ... a dash-mounted hula girl is a very good indication of 'performance'!! :) Speed Zone by Douglas Kott Do-it-yourself Road Testing Dashboard Hula Girl - "Sweet Leilani" $11.99 www.HawaiianKineStuff.com "the least expensive, least accurate yet easiest-on-the-eyes accelerometer is Sweet Leilani, far classier than the pine tree air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror. Trial-and-error will correlate torso lean with lateral and longitudinal g's, although rough pavement will cause some "noise" due to the undamped spring that's roughly in the lumbar vertebrae area. best results are achieved with Don Ho ukulele music plink-plinking through your stereo speakers." or spend $199.99 on the g-tech pro ss. or $12.99 for Dynolicious software for your apple iphone and iPod Touch. or $39,865 for a new Dodge Charger SRT8 with optional SRT Group II package which has a built-in accelerometer in the onboard trip computer. :) unca joel |
