here is another one [http://libertyforone.com/](http://libertyforone.com/) > Liberty For One has released its own automotive measurement tool called g-tac, and its going for just $4.99. For less than half the cost of the Dynolicious tool, you get times and trap speed for the quarter mile, as well as times for 0-60 and 60-0. The g-tac utilizes the iPhone’s (and iPod Touch’s) accelerometer to determine velocity, so the phone doesn’t have to be plugged into the car. The tool also graphs out your last three runs so you can hone your launch technique over time. > > g-tac’s feature list doesn’t appear to have the robustness of the Dynolicious app, which also features metrics for Lateral Gs and horsepower, and there isn’t much documentation to detail what g-tac can actually do. The early reviews aren’t so hot either, as the first seven purchasers have averaged a rating of just 2.5 stars compared to the four star rating for the Dyonlicious app. Since cheaper doesn’t typically mean better, we intend to test both apps against an even more expensive hardware unit, and we’ll let you know if either iPhone app is worth your hard earned digital dollars. ---

Dynolicious is up to 23 on the top 25 paid apps. Heading out now to make a few runs. ---

Great app but it seems to crash/not work perfectly with my jailbroken iPod. Seems that other people with jailbroken firmware are also having the same problem… ---

All the more reason to not jailbreak your phone. Hasn’t crashed once on my “stock” iphone. Silly modders. 🙂 Ok, so I went out to a nice closed course/professional driver to see how this worked when you’re not stuck in a 35 mph zone. Unfortunately, not the grippiest surface on this little closed course, but enough excuses… 0-10 .95 0-20 1.75 0-30 2.57 0-40 3.43 0-50 4.52 0-60 5.61 0-70 7.14 0-80 8.78 0-90 10.59 0-100 13.02 60’ 2.57 @ 28.9 mph 330’ 6.25 @ 63.1 mph 1/8 9.27 @ 81.2 mph 1/4 14.01 @ 103.9 Max Speed: 104.4 mph Max Acceleration 1.30 G’s Peak Horsepower 289 HP ??? Yeah, I don’t know WTF happened with the peak HP calculation. I removed the setting for 20% driveline loss thinking I’d rather see estimated crank HP and now it’s gone all screwy. I’m also finding that the Ecsta SPT’s suck off the line. I tried several different launching methods and simply could not get them to hook through most of 1st gear. C&D managed 0-60 4.8, 1/4 mile in 13.3 @ 107 out of a bone stock 05 so either the app is a bit off or I need to find some more out of this car. I’m guessing a bit of both. ---

2nd works the best from me… anyhting over 4K in first I rip the tires… I think a little slippage over 6500 in 2nd. might be the reason why I’m showing 30hp lower than i should. I’m gonna have to do a 3rd gear run or something soon. ☹ Hopefully air resistance doesn’t fuck it up ---

well, having it jailbroken is nice. You can really take advantage of the phone like you would a mini computer but unfortunately it’s buggy as hell. I was about to jailbreak mine, but the heard uXM is being ported over to 2.0. Between that announcement and this new g-tec clone app, forget that noise. Vanilla phone FTW Not having themes kind of blows though ---

This app helps the argument For. As does the price / contract incentive. The biggest ramification is unchanged that 90% of the people I call are Sprint (Sp:Sp minutes free)… not that I make / take many non-landline calls during ON hours. meh.
