It doesn't do trip mapping type GPS stuff, but I think the competition's product might do that.
Here's the website for the one I have:

It comes with a cigarette plug power adapter so as long as you can mount it at the same angle in each car, you can easily move it around to several cars to compare laps (though the cigarette power plug won't deliver RPM data, you need to wire it with the hardwire kit for that to work).
The thing that's killing me is the software for viewing the data. It's hard to use and takes some learning to view the data the way you want. It's not AXWare bad, but it could be so much better, plus it has the occasional bug where it locks up while opening files. But I've done a lot of user interface programming in the past, so I'm kinda particular about that sort of stuff.
I will eventually pull all the video off my DV camera w/ the USB (the YouTube video was just dumping composite off the camera into my TV card, so it's about as low quality as it gets) so we can check out the tire drop. One thing to note, you were in the dirt like 4 or 5 times in the 1st two laps of that session.
Most the time, it was just an inch of tire over the burm, but damn man, why use so much track on the out lap?!
