i think it can also measure the size of your ***** when you keep your iphone in your front pockets just as accurate as it can measure the performance of your vehicle

get a couple of beers instead, you'll be much happier with your purchase :P

the results are only as accurate as the data. 1/4 mile times have been reported within 0.2 of actual.

just be mindful that if you're going to be doing a run down a deserted road, ipad mounting device, wind direction, road level, ambient humidity and temperature all factor into your acceleration g's from which hp is calculated.

iTSX - Wireless Vehicle Tuning, http://goo.gl/w1u6y would be quite interesting if someone figured a way around the lack of a OBD-II in the 944. Anyone ...

I dont have it on mine but one of my buddies has a similar app and I definately wouldn't buy. I mean, it works just not very well and I doubt its accurate.

The mph is pretty accurate if you get your setting right. The et is all over the place

it's fun... but again, not a complete replacement.

You have to be able to mount it (obviously)... sliding around in the passenger seat is not the best way to get results.

Toward the rear of the console works good. Sticky weatherstripping keeps it in the corner pretty well.

I have OBD-II in my 944.
A LS conversion is quite a radical way to get OBD-II!

I like these apps because they measure lateral g's. So if you hit the same spot in the same gear at the same rpm you have a pretty good reading of how well the car is performing
