never heard of it. I have only heard of a gtech, and it's just a device used to measure things like hp, quarter mile time/speed, etc. Could that be what he was talking about?

This should turn out in your favor...your car does not have that much less HP...and weighs a lot less! Plus your a stick they are an auto! Unless its a SVT focus your not in trouble

Re: question about a race thats comeing up....

i think it'll be closer than you guys think. The focus has 25 more hp and doesn't weigh that much more.
