Re: iPhone performance meter.....

I just bought it. Tested it out on my buddies BMW over lunch. I'll mess with it on my way home. Looks like the G-force meter works well so far, but we couldn't get the speed to work correctly.

Re: iPhone performance meter.....

it really isnt that accurate....

my buddy just bought it and tried it on his car and hit first reading was 120hp, and the next reading was 152hp and the next was 205hp?!?!? i would bet on it unless you have perfectly exact conditions each time....

Re: iPhone performance meter.....

In what position does the phone have to be mounted for the accelerometer to work? They are directional, much like a gyroscope.
