We could have it outside the apple store so this would legitimise ( < dont know if this is a real word  :undecided: ) the times and stop all the usual arguements about accuracy  :evil:  :smug:  :evil:

thanks for the feedback folks. To be fair there was a very slight downhill incline which no doubt may have affected the results. Also I did have to input the cars weight and if I knew % loss of bhp to the wheels then it would calculate flywheel bhp. One great feature about it is that you can use your first reading as a benchmark and add mods to the app to see the difference. I still think it's a brilliant toy and loads of fun at a bargain!

oh by the way I checked the max mph and it was slightly over 70mph! :embarassed:

I have a similar application on my N95 8gb called GTx which does much the same, again uses the accelorometer and GPS to make all the calculations and is suprisingly accurate !!
