Dang, based on the title I was hoping for a spammer to bash. :(

EDIT: Looks like a neat program. Too bad that $12 program runs on a $300 phone.

Matt L 08-26-2008 02:45 PM

How accurate is the thing?

vstech 08-26-2008 03:13 PM

hey, the phone is only 199 now! come on! it's 1/2 the size, 1/2 the price and 2/1 the speed!!! really everybody should have one... it's apple right?
come on. everybody raise my stock prices!!!

Matt L 08-26-2008 03:17 PM

It's certainly not half the price compared to before. $400 + $100*12 compared to $200 + $100*12 is not much of a price reduction.

That's assuming that you must sign up for 12 months. I would suspect that it's longer.

vstech 08-26-2008 03:25 PM

I simply do NOT understand why the iPhone is 200/400 up front, where all other phone plans are free phones and 100 whatever /month... it's mind boggling. and they are selling like crazy!!!
whodathunkit?

TylerH860 08-26-2008 06:27 PM

Well, I'm one of those nuts people on the I phone now, and I just bought it...

Off to test the 500SL.. whoo-hoo

Buy it, unlock it (hack it) and use any provider that you choose (on the GSM network). Please...raise my stock price too. :D

Yes, but what is the actual price of the unit if you buy it without the ATT contract? It's not $200.

Will this software work on anything else? Say the iPod Touch? I could see getting one of those cool little toys.

I'm back with results on all 3 of my benzes.
After Seeing this thread I immediately bought the program and tested it out. These are my best results out of 3 runs. I didn’t want the I-phone initially, but now I’m ecstatic to have it.

Seems pretty accurate to me. These are my best runs out of 3:


Norm: 1980 300TD

0-60: 21.85

¼ mile 23.01 at 61.9 MPH

Maximum Acceleration: .49Gs

Peak Horsepower (at wheels): 56 HP:D
________________________________________________

Ol’ Turbo: 1985 300D

0-60: 14.13:eek:

¼ mile 19.81 @ 74.3 MPH

Max Acceleration: .69 Gs

Peak Horsepower (at wheels): 89 HP
_________________________________________________

Zippy: 1985 500SL (Zippy is too fast to attempt a quarter mile safely on public roads)

0-60: 7.57

1/8 mile: 10.38 @ 71.7 MPH

Max Acceleration: .73Gs

Peak Horsepower (at wheels): 159 HP:cool:

Grandma’s car still had a bit more in her, but I didn’t want to push it too hard.

bgkast 08-26-2008 08:09 PM

That's cool, too bad I don't have an iPhone (or 500SL :D)

It comes out around $420 after purchase price, initial service, contract cancellation fees and taxes.

It should work exactly the same on the iPod Touch and 2.5G iPhone/touch since its just an iPhone without the cellular/gps/2.5-3G hardware.

HERE is a direct link that will open iTunes to buy it.

Tyler, wanna mail me that I-phone to see what my 280CE puts out:D JK, of course.

ForcedInduction 08-26-2008 09:36 PM

Check eBay, there are LOTS of "less than smart" people paying $350-400 for used 2.5G iPhones. :eek:

I thought that once the 3G came out the old used phones drop under $150. Wrong!

TylerH860 08-27-2008 12:54 AM

I've been playing with it all afternoon. Its an amazing App.
