Default 0-60 i phone apps-major user error!

Just wondering if anyone has tried these and how accurate they are. Tried one for a laugh earlier but due to whining kids in the back forgot to put in first, doh!

The cloud of smoke was quite thick and the car rather slow until I realised my error. On the plus clutch was a bit juddery in first but a full bore third gear launch seems to have cured it, go figure!

Do not recomend this to try in your own car

I will have a proper go sometime to see what 0-60 I can get purely for own amusement.

ive seen the dyno app with bluetooth odb adapter which gives live data to the phone/tablet mounted on dash. very cool indeed. when compared to a real dyno graph it was only 9bhp out!!, plus the curves looked very VERY similar. 0 - 60 on a legacy came out at 5.9 secs.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it. This was just some free one I got to see what they were like.
