Apparently, so is the crew at Motive. They took out an Audi S5, mounted a Racelogic V-Box onto the windshield and brought along a Dynolicious-equipped iPhone to see how it stacked up.<br><br>The V-Box uses both GPS and yaw sensor data to serve up 0-60 times, 1/4-mile trap speeds and lateral Gs, whereas the iPhone only makes use of yaw information to deliver the same numbers... along with estimated horsepower figures. While Motive wanted to find out how the Dynolicious would do with 0-60 times, we were interested in how close it would come to wheel horsepower given both an estimated weight and drivetrain loss. That meant hitting up the Dynojet at <a href="http://modacar.com">Modacar</a> and strapping our own <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ProjectTrackSlut/">Project Track Slut</a> onto the rollers.<br><br><span style="font-style:italic">Read on for both Motive's conclusions and our own.</span><br><br><div><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/dynolicious-vs-v-box-and-dynojet/">Dynolicious vs. V-Box and Dynojet</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/dynolicious-vs-v-box-and-dynojet/955601/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/track_slut_dyno_1280_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title=""></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/dynolicious-vs-v-box-and-dynojet/955602/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/damon-bmw_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title=""></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/dynolicious-vs-v-box-and-dynojet/955605/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/bmw_dynolicious_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title=""></a></div><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/dynolicious-vs-v-box-and-dynojet/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dynolicious vs. V-Box and Dynojet</em></a></p><p style="clear:both;padding:8px 0 0 0;height:2px;font-size:1px;border:0;margin:0;padding:0">Â*</p><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/dynolicious-vs-v-box-and-dynojet/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1271236/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/01/dynolicious-vs-v-box-and-dynojet/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr>

That is awesome... WHen tuning anyways, AFR and percentage of change in HP is probably good enough so as not to worry.... But still for 13 bux...that is pretty accurate.... A real accelerometer is pretty expensive as they failed to mention....

How so? Does it use GPS data as well on the 3G iPhone?
