so i came across this little article/blog and thought i would cut and paste it, for you guys to see as well. seems pretty cool...just sucks b/c it seems, right now the only way you can do it is with an iphone.anyway...here it is:

Sound to good to be true? Maybe not. I happened to stumble onto this surfing the web the other day. Dynolicious automotive performance meter. It basically takes the accelerometer in the Iphone/Ipod touches and tunes it into performance meter, much like the G-tech back in the day. Here is some information directly from Dynolicious' website: [blockquote]Dynolicious is the first automotive performance meter available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Dynolicious uses the hardware built-in to your iPhone to measure the performance characteristics of your vehicle. No external wires or equipment is necessary, simply slip the iPhone into a cradle or cupholder and go!Some of the performance metrics Dynolicious can measure:[ul][*]0-60 Acceleration[*]1/4 Mile Elapsed Time[*]Lateral G's[*]Horsepower[/ul][/blockquote][blockquote] Unlike other accelerometer-based performance meters, Dynolicious uses the advanced data-handling and display capabilities of the iPhone to make the most of your performance testing. Dynolicious maintains a history of test runs, showing you averages and trends in your results. Dynolicious also allows you to enter modifications performed to your vehicle, and will instantly show before-and-after results to easily identify gains or losses.[/blockquote] Well after reading this, I jumped on my iphone looked it up on the new application store. Sure enough it was on there for $13! Well curiosity got the best of me this morning; I had to buy it. You can simply enter the weight of your vehicle and start testing. I will test it out this week and maybe I can get an exact weight of me in my car some time soon. I plan on taking it to the track one night as well and seeing just how accurate the 1/4 times are on this thing.Pictures from their website:
