I'm working on a product that would attach a hall effect sensor
to the right front spindle of your vehicle and read the grooves
in the rotor.  Interpreting that information would give you
VERY accurate 1/4 times / acceleration times / hp.

The only time it would be innacurate would be if the front right
tire came off the ground.  But if you're producing that much
hp you don't need to be testing your car on the street.....

Anyone interested?
