Wow! That one that has the drag race mode built in looks really tight! Integrated G-Tech! Anybody know how much that one costs?

I believe all of the HUD cars have a special layer on the windshield to reflect the HUD...

I think the DEFI unit comes with a patch that you put on the windshield to reflect the information.

Unfortunately one of those units (the fancy one) is only in KMH, not MPH

Oops! I neglected to notice that in the specs I did go back and check it though, and I emailed the company just for kicks to see what kind of response I'd get, but it doesn't sound like they have any plans for a MPH unit oh well....It was worth a shot!

I contacted them a while back and they WERE going to have a MpH model, then I contacted them again about 6mos later and they said they dropped the project (sux)

Were stuck with the VSD II

Well, I got an email back from them and they said:

For our Sports V.S.D., we are sorry to inform you, but there is no plans to produce a MPH version of it so far.
Actually we have tried, but we could not make it. So now we are trying to produce new products with considering many customers' demands as possible as we could put them into a new product.
So anyway...maybe they'll come out with something new and better lol, but I find it hard to believe that they tried but "could not make it"? hmm oh well...lol, guess we'll see, but the regular VSD is pretty cool just the same!

it can be done like anything if you have the money.

i like the c5 the best because of the rpm integration.

there is also the option of going with a grand prix unit? the hardest part is the reflective glass. you get that down and the main unit will basically tie in. it does have a brain however that controls everything....this must be integrated or cut out.

i've been working on it myself only the room of a thirdgen dash underneath is extremely limited, i could do it very easy with a 4thgen dash.

good luck with it as it isn't that hard..........the worst part is making it look factory.

not only is that unit in KPH, but it measures the "drag times" in 400 meter runs, not a quarter mile which is more like 360 meters.
