I would hope so!

Hell my wife's grocery getter can turn a 21. Too bad the brakes don't always work.

If someone hands me $80,000*, it goes here.

The price chart is at the back.

I've already had a friend approach me to pool funds to make this the next step after SRF. They're actually reliable and relatively cheap to keep running. But not cheap enough.

* Must be tax free, and sent to a P.O. Box of my choosing.

Hey Brian,
Nice save down the chute after the ice pedal. On a separate note I noticed the lack of a brake and gear light in the overlay. Did you do that by choice? In my videos my gear is shown but not gas or brake. Any easy way to change that?

That option checklist was pretty lengthy, might need and extra $20,000 handed to you.

Our setup is all screwed up. Video and Audio are totally out of sync and some of our channel assignments to the overlay are lost. But I haven't taken the time to correct it.

Are you using OBDII or CAN connection for your Smarty?

Did you create your own overlay (screen display of what data you want to see on the video)in SmartyCam software? You can map available data channels to graphical displays that you choose. This is done on a PC/Mac and then downloaded onto your camera via USB.

When you create the video overlay you should be able to map the throttle position to the gas indicator. Brake is more difficult unless you have a brake position sensor, the Cayman does not have one. You can map the brake indicator to a G sensor but it's not really helpful.

Assuming that your G-meter is reasonably accurate, your loading of the car relative to the friction circle is superb.
