I was watching some Speed Academy the other day and noticed a little blurb about the CL2. I don't know how long the Racepak data kit has been out, but it appears to have a lot of features for less than $250. Anyone have experience with one vs the AiM Solo? I was thinking hard on the AiM until this came up, and I'm a sucker for a deal.
Subbed. Literally deciding between those exact two for next season.
One thing to think about is whether you just want the in-car timer display, or if the data logging functionality is also important to you.
If the latter, then I recommend seeing if you can download the analysis software and play with it using the demo data ahead of time (I think most companies let you do this). Capturing and logging data is pretty much a commodity these days, but writing well-designed PC software for interpreting that data quickly and efficiently is not.
Two totally different systems for two different things.
The holley thing gives you info about your engine’s operating data.
The solo gives you gps lap times and ‘race’ data to analyze your laps. It also plugs into the oem obd2 to get engine operating data. The former is useful for improving your lap times. Not sure what I would use the engine data for unless I’m trying to diagnose a problem...

The Racepak does everything you just mentioned that the Solo does, it just broadcasts the data to your phone or device via bluetooth. It even allows a person/crew outside of the car to analyze data while you are on course. I know the Speed Academy guys use it for their data for lap time leader board, etc. but wanted some real world experience if there is any out there from GRM folk.

Good idea on the demo. I'll see if there's anything out there to give me an idea of how it functions.
You'll need to log in to post.
