stop watch, speedo, and video camera, you'll want a timer that goes to 1/100 sec

Iphones are pretty good at doing that stuff. Apps are only like $15 for a decent one. Ipod touch works too but I think the 4g and newer iphones have a better sensor kit in them
does this unit just give peak g force, or force / time !

Most of the aps I've tried for 0-100 times (Windows mobile) seem to use GPS rather than the accelerometer, which is really not accurate/fine enough. If it's a one-off check, just do a heap of runs and average it or something. If it's on-going testing, I'd get a purpose built unit.
lada-dude I'm not sure, been a while since I used it. If you can't find it online I'll have a look over the weekend

mine reads in 'G' accelerating ,braking,and cornering. Also records 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times. But you need to set it up properly.I have the later model than the one in the link, but could do with the latest one
