The world has gone iPhone crazy since Apple released v2.0 of its sleek mobile device, and while GPS and 3G have been big draws, the multitude of available software apps in the new App Store has been the real wild card. One app that has us really psyched is a new automotive performance meter called Dynolicious from BunsenTech. It uses the accelerometer inside the iPhone to let you record 0-10 through 0-100 times, quarter mile and trap speed, Lateral Gs, horsepower and more. Results are also displayed in real-time on the phone itself with graphs and a speedometer. You can also configure the tool with updates to your car, weight, before and after performance measurements, and keep a complete history of all your runs. The kicker is that you don't even have to plug in your iPhone anywhere, just set it in the cup holder and drive. The folks at Dynolicious promise 0-60 ac
curacy to within .08 seconds and a quarter mile speed to within 1.5 mph. The performance meter software should also work with the iPod Touch.

The Dynolicious performance meter is now available on iTunes for $12.99 despite its own website saying that it's coming soon. The app has an average rating of four stars out of five so far with 11 user reviews and counting. We're going to purchase the software ASAP and take it for a spin, so we'll let you know soon if it delivers on its lofty promises. Check out more screen shots of Dynolicious in the gallery below. Thanks for the tip, Fooman!

that is just way too cool!!!!!

if only i had a car that was worth tracking that kind of data

i bought it, its pretty sweet!

have you used it on your box?

im working on mount placement, since it also works with the ipod adapter from scion i need to find a place i can relocate it to, thinking about cutting out a spot for it abofe the radio, but yes i have done some prelimenary tests with it, the G meter works quite nicely and so does the tim keeper, it tracked me from a stop light from 0 -54mph(had to slow down before i hit 60 cause an idiot in a minivan pulled out in front of me....it didnt tell me what my "peak HP" was but i assume thats because i didnt hit the 0-60 needed to compute it, or there is a problem with the app, i have e-mailed the creator and asked them if they knew what was up, no reply yet tho :(
