I just bought the new iPod Classic yesterday to replace my 4th gen. The new Genius feature is awesome, I have close to 10,000 tracks on my iPod and with the genius feature enabled the iPod comes up with some awesome playlists (by relating tracks from your own library to the track you choose as the basis). Works really well, it comes up with some phenomenal results. Been listening to some stuff I haven't played in years!
Aside from messing with my son's Nano, this is my first real venture into the world of iTunes/iPod. I'm anxious to see how Genius works, etc. (BTW, I'm still waiting on the BB Bold to come out -- no iPhone for me, just a Touch...)

As far as the weight, I didn't realize that the curb weight included fluids, etc. If so, I guess I'll have to just step on a scale and add my weight. (So does that mean unladen weight is simply curb weight plus a driver?)

One other problem, though, is I don't think that curb weight takes the weight of any options into account (if I have it right, it's the "base" car, with the specified transmission, fully-fueled and topped up with all fluids). With the amount of options on your car, Rudy, that might make a bit of a difference too!

Maybe I'll go on a diet to compensate things...

Or just keep whatever phone you currently have and get an iPod Touch Andy...

As far as curb weight is concerned, swajames is correct that it includes fluids, etc.

You're correct that it's a "G force thing" -- I think only the Touch and iPhone have the proper amount of accelerometers as well as the proper operating system for Dynolicious to function. In other words, it won't work on the Nano or Classic...

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I haven't really touched dynolicious until today. I wanted to try out some of the updated features (after not having used the program since last year)

here's what I got:
Dynolicious Timed Run (the link has more info)



this was done on a shitty launch (just slight throttle mash) in S6

With me in car and 10 gals of fuel I weigh 4180 lbs. Measured at Mayflower moving company. Check your yellow pages for moving companys and see who will let you come by and get weighed.

I did my weight for my Gtech system and have yet to try out Dynolicious other than a couple of "gee I wonder what this will do" trys. Made no inputs and it just sat on center console. After I get car back from body shop I may try out some simo runs with Gtech at my special test facility (Bird Santuary where only the gators threaten a clean run).
