This is a product that has been around for a long time. The factory website doesn't show it as a current product, so I am guessing these are a blowout of old stock. Will it be replaced? I don't know, but I doubt it. At the $200 list price I have always found these units I wanted one, but this is not an item you will use all the time, and I am ( cheap / careful with my money. - pick either )

At this price, and suspecting that when they are gone they will be gone for good, if you have ever wanted one, now is the time.

It works well, as advertised. Checked my performance and have been passing it amongst friends. After it makes the loop of my friends, it will probably be used infrequently... but this price I can justify this type of use. If you are a car person, adjusting your tune - either motor or handling, this is a very inexpensive alternative to visiting a dragstrip or skidpad. I am not sure the skidpad type of numbers are accurate, but reviews indicate the acceleration figures are indeed accurate with this device.

Have fun, but be careful where and when you use this. The seller is not "Amazon" but a third party that sells through Amazon. I found them to be very reliable, fast shipping, and fast to reply to an email.

Very easy to set up and use.

Less features than the GTech Pro, but a much lower price.

Very accurate when I used it at the dragstrip. Relatively accurate with HP and torque numbers (5%) compared to engine and chassis dynomometer results for my car.

If you just care about the actual numbers, and don't need plots of the results, this works fine to see how well or poorly modifications work.

I was plesantly surprised that the GT1 G-Timer was as accurate as dragstrip timers. My "local" dragstrip is 104 miles away so I will save enough $$$$$ on gas to pay for it over time. I also plan on renting it out to other car guys I know around town who are always tinkering with their cars and want to measure their gains. I usually do three runs and take the average. Except for two aborted runs because of excessive tire spin out of about 15 passed the GT1 is consistently within a tenth of a second and 1 MPH. You will also get more accurate times using the same launch techniques each time and testing in consistant weather conditions. I prefer 70's with relatively low humidity. You can get your weather conditions, elevation and pressure info from weather related websites. A car will always run better in favorable conditions. The GT1 can't be beat for the price and the features are very easy to use. Just watch out for cops. Triple digit speeds doesn't help to make friends in the law enforcement community. I highly recommend this product.

Great It works and gives you the data you want. Horse power, 0-60,1/4 mile, braking distance. and the graphs for g's also helps with cornoring you know wher you max is and you can litterally see how fast you should take that same corner next time arround so properly used the gt1 does a really good job.

The Escort Passport GT2 is a powerful tool and a fun toy, especially considering it's low price and ease of use. It is useful for analyzing vehicle performance as well as honing your driving skills. It has lot's of display modes to show G forces as well as 0-60 times and more. You just suction cup it to the windshield, plug it into the cig lighter and go.

My buddy bought one of these a number of months ago, from the same source. It usually goes for much more money and it had disappeared from availability since that time. I kept checking and finally found it available for nearly the same price as before. When I received it, I was pleasantly surprised that it had about 5 added features that enhance its' usefullness. All functions work flawlessly. Incidentally, I drive a Mazda RX-8 and my buddy has a Nissan 350Z and a Mini-Cooper S. My brother-in-law drives a BMW 335i. All 3 of us have bought this unit and make good daily use of it. It's great if you're a tinkerer or even just to check differences with performance tires.

Highly recommended. And you can't go wrong with the vendor.

I'm sure I've reviewed this here before but no sign of it.

Anyway this is a great performance meter for the price I paid ($50 for
one and $70 for the other both new).

Car and Driver tested several performance meters and said good things about this one (Google their review for details).

I love this thing, me and my friends all ran the quarter with it, of course they weren't close to me because i actually race, it was still a fun competition, cant wait for summer to see the difference with my new motor!

I use it with my 2005 I-4 Camry which has completed 40000km. I installed a simple aluminium air intake system in the hose pipe connecting the throttle body to see if the product really increases power by 10-30% due to more air flow in the combustion chamber...I can tell for a fact it does coz my stock car is only 150HP SAE now it registers 197HP all the time and in some instances registered 185HP and recently registered 210HP which is mind blowing, in one particular run I went from 60MPH to 80MPH in 6.4secs never possible with any stock camry. My 1/4mile is 16.7 best and under 17sec most of the time. My camry is a manual shift and has DVD-NAV w/Xenon fogs,low & high headlight beam with LED taillights and underbody LED blue lights and rear view camera mirror not just mirror and a separate rear view through the NAV system when I reverse, also have 4 rear sensors. I clocked a mere 9.35sec to 62.5mph which is ok for a 4 banger. this product is amazing...race dudes/buds should get one it is cheaper than the G-Tech performance device and has English and Metric system if you like Kph or mph.

Great measuring tool for getting before and after results when you modify your car in your garage. The only problem I have is finding an area to test my car...
