Anybody using a SmartyCam System?
This system seems to have it all in one package. A little on the costly side @ $1000, but certainly good for track days or time trials.
I would like some feedback from your experience with the stand-alone system (bridge is not compatible with C5 ECU).

I looked into that system about a year ago. At that time they promised me the compatible linkage for the C5 ECU in " a couple of months". It still is not available and probably will not ever be ready. Without that link and software you can not use the displays on screen for speed, RPM, brakes, etc. I am glad I did not buy.

Well, you still have the option of combining it with one of their data acquisition systems even if you can't bridge it with the ECU. My '06 C6 is capable of being connected and I have an MXL Pista dash/data set up... I plan to add the SmartyCam at some point...
