Acceleration apps & willy waving

[Chilliman]

Anybody used one of these ?
'Dynolicious for iPhone Measures Your Car's Performance'

Just out of curiosity i was looking on tinternet to see if there were any gadgets for measuring acceleration times through the gears (30 - 50 in third or fourth, 70 - 90 etc etc). I thought about trying to use a stopwatch but decided messing around with it would be too dangerous whilst accelerating flat out. So I thought about using a passenger etc etc but everyone I know is fat so that's no good. Anyway, I'm intending to get some fairly heavy duty mods done to the old girl in the not too distant future and rather than just before and after RR sessions thought some real world driving the car measurements would be more meaningfull.... Anyone used a clever gadget or have any thoughts on the subject ?

Just think, if they work and we all got one we could have some serious willy waving fun

Here's another one but it needs an OBD2 socket

I've got one of these: http://www.driftbox.com/

Be careful - under real world conditions (like on a fairly quiet A road), you won't get any where near what the 'quoted' figures are.

I haven't used it in the TVR yet, but in my previous car, I tried 0-60 on two different roads - there was a 2 sec difference - you need a really decent surface to record good times. Even then, you'll find them probably disappointing

Dynoliscious is very good if you follow the instructions and set it up properly. I activated mine at York on the dragstrip and it was very close to the timing ticket
