Yep, that is about the right ball park for mine also (including wiring and switches).

You will likey get used to the steering.....try it for a while. We messed around with some springs and valves to reduce the power steering assist, but couldn't find a good setting (mostly too hard). We've all gotten used to it and actually like it on long race days or enduros....never say never this is where the fun is. Once had to get a cortisone shot in my wrist for strain from driving it...so you never know.

Ripped out the data timer and put in the same analog set from the GTS (look at pics on Panoz web site). You can order the metal piece from Panoz for the small gauges and shop Summit etc for lots of choices/costs for the gauges or just buy the Autometer stuff. I added a shift light to keep my friends honest.

Greetings Eric ... Looking to go analog also ; my question is w/ the speedometer ... where is the proper pick-up point for the new gauge ??? I,ve done all I can stand to get the pi ( pu ) system to read off the rotor ; glitchy at best ...
Thanks / Paul W.

The GTS cars don't have a speedometer....not sure what you do with one in a race car anyway. If you have time to look at it you aren't going fast enough!!! Consider using the speedo money to invest in a Traqmate (about $1k I think) or other data aquisition unit so you can review your laps (accleration, speed, braking times, G's etc.).

I use the "stock sender" and pickup that mounts to the tranny tunnel in between the seats, works great.

AS stated I rarely use the speedo, but i do instruct at a lot of HPDE's and driving schools and it's a nice "awe factor" for the students lol
