Automotive performance apps for iPhone

The iPhone 3G, with its accelerometers and GPS chip, has spawned a unique category of programs in the App Store: automobile performance measurement tools. These programs use the iPhone's GPS chip to measure your vehicle's acceleration and speed (and via this data, horsepower), and the accelerometers to measure the g-forces applied while turning and braking or accelerating. If you're an auto enthusiast, the opportunity to measure these things using your iPhone and a relatively cheap piece of software is quite appealing--dedicated performance monitoring tools can be quite expensive. Since there are now quite a few programs in this niche, varying in both cost and feature sets, I set out to find the best of the best.
