Has anyone tried it yet?

Pretty cool Thomas, none of your gang has checked it out yet either?

I just loaded it on my phone. I'll see what my F150 does leaving the train station after work tonight

Pretty neat,I'll have to try it out.

Just got the new iPhone 2 days ago and my Harley is getting dyno tuned as I write.
Be able to really check it out.

I was really geeked about this when I saw it yesterday! I hope anyone who gets it will post there 0-60 times. We'll find out what the best tires are for the street.

I downloaded this last week. Great ap! seems pretty accurate. While I didn't do an official test at the track just yet, it seems pretty spot on.

Mickey Thompson ET street drag radials in the 275/60 15 at about 20 to 22 psi are probably about as good as street driving gets. It's hard to get better than a 1.7 to 1.9 60ft time from a normal city roadway. With around 475 corrected wheel HP and a 1.8 60 ft and working the throtle a bit in 1st gear you get in the high 2s for 0 - 60 mph if you have a .3 second 1st to 2nd gear shift. 0 - 100 mph is in the low 6s.

I've tested quite a few cars over the past decade or so. The Cobra is one of the fastest under 100 mph.
