Miata Mailing List: June 1998, Message #42

I last used a G-analyst about 12 years ago when a racing buddy at
Texas A&M shelled out enough money to buy a complete set of new race
tires in order to buy one.  It was very useful.  If they were still in
production I would probably consider buying one.

There may be a similar device available now called Geez.  Best place
to get more info on this is to post to the autox-list.

>From what I've seen of the G-tech, it may not be as useful as the
G-analyst.  The -analyst has a display that graphically shows your
lateral g's using a running histogram.

As far as the software goes...try contacting Valentine (the radar
detector maker).  As I uderstand, they were the last manufacturer of
the device (and I think Valentine--the guy--may have been the
designer).  Otherwise, I'm sure someone on the autox-list would be
willing to make a copy of their disk for you.
