Do you plan to keep your FR-S/BRZ Bone Stock?

any recommendations for a data logger? I was thinking about picking one up but I know absolutely nothing about them.

I'll have to see after I drive it. Reviews seem to say stock handling is fine with minimal body-roll, but that the engine could use more power.

If the engine responds well to bolt-ons, I'll probably go that route. Otherwise, I'll probably leave it as is.

My history isn't current, so here's a source I'm relying on as a starting point:

The Autocrossing to Win website is a great info resource if you're serious.

Three issues I'll be looking at carefully:

(1) the data logger samples at a sufficiently high data rate to adequately record all the turn data in a short autocross course; ditto for the GPS and accelerometers
(2) the analysis software provides configurable graphical displays
(3) compatibility with the OBD unit in BRZ/FR-S cars
