    This is very cool. The success stories page has some interesting real life applications of the thing. Reading it is very like reading overclocking stories.

    Some people are replacing stock computers in more modern cars for performance reasons, and some are putting them in older cars, and getting some impressive results. And, yes, you can hook up a laptop for on-the-fly tweaking. Now I want a car.
