She got me an Escort Passport performance tester.

(and I know someone is gonna say that the thread is worthless without her pic...put she already told me I can't post it...LOL)

Here is a link to it the tester...

It's basically one of those G-Force testing units that tells you 0-60 times, g-force, braking performance...and all that stuff...

I have included some pics of it from the corporate website below...

It's pretty cool and seems pretty accurate. One thing I know is...it definately shows how SLOOOOWWW the Elantra is in pretty much stock trim.

However, it does show that my suspension mods have paid off...I pulled .85g on one of my tests and the tires weren't even squealing. I'll be interested to see what happens when I install the rear sway bar...and do a couple other tweaks.

In the Car and Driver Magazine review of this device...they said that the GT1 & GT2 testers match their professional testing equipment almost exactly.

Anyhow...if anyone is interested in purchasing one...I may be able to get a few more...MUCH MUCH cheaper than the price listed on the website...

Peace,
