Spotted this thing there which seems a bit too gimmicky to be actually accurate, curious to know if anyone has tried it.

Tis an iphone application jobby that can caclulate 0-60 etc thing called dynolicious.

"You can measure quarter-mile (0.4 kilometer) elapsed times and trap speeds, lateral g-forces, 0-60 mph (0-97 kilometers per hour) times and speeds, braking g-forces and even horsepower (or kilowatts). Dynolicious uses the iPhone's built-in three-axis accelerometers to calculate each parameter to surprising accuracy. Once you enter in your vehicles information (which includes the weight including fuel and passenger), the accelerometers inside the iPhone sense vehicle movement and translate it into to real-time data."

Not that I'm going to even want to know these stats on my 1.3 corolla....
