Fun Phone Application - 0-60 times, quarter miles, lap times etc

[Andy.]

Available for free for most S60 phones. I haven't tried it yet but my drive home is about to become a bit less mundane.

Man, I was looking for one of these yesterday, when I saw the iPhone had a version. anyone used it yet? I'm blocked in on the shared drive at mo!

I did some tests on Friday night. Just the 0-60 test and it seemed to be pretty accurate. (My s**t launching skills giving s**t times at least)

I got a PB today of 7.5 sec 0-60mph and 1/4 mile in 16 sec. It's damn hard to get the revs right, not spin the wheels, not bog down etc. I wasn't aiming for a quarter mile reading, just realised it had recorded all the data, can even see the acceleration curve and where I must have changed gear to early to late etc. Great little app.

Just installed the new version tonight and went out in my mates Civic. The new version is mega cool. Shows graphs that compare speed / dtstance travalled allowing you too see where the power starts to drop off etc.

Managed a 9.1s to 62mph with 2 up, in the damp/wet with TR-1s with not much tread on. Also a 1/4 mile of 17.3 which isn't bad. Nice little car he has, its only a 1.5 vtech but still nippy.

That iphone app looks pretty accurate:

Just seen this on pistonheads too, sounds pretty cool:

Some amreican fellas did a test, none of the acceleramoter based phone systems are that accurate.

Watch the vid above, they compare dynolicious to a Gtech, actual times measured down a drag strip and a dyno and the dynolicious is really close.

There's a few vids I've seen of it. In general they aren't that accurate, the hardware isn't good enough! The gtech itself isn't meant to be great!

Can't really knock RaceChrono.
I have heard that iPhone ones are not that accurate, and i have also heard that GTech isn't good.

Anyone tried pocketdyno app? Had two runs first got 150whp and second without traction control got 156whp wasn't going for 0-60s but both were early 8 seconds which seems about right.
