Default Accelerometer?

Has anyone used an accelerometer like the G-Cube? I understand it downloads to a computer a complete analysis of a run.

I have a Gcube, and it works well. For Road racing, the multiple lap option, is very cumbersome. Probably better for AX.

I got a Race Technology DL90 a couple of weeks ago. It uses accelerometers, GPS, and external sensors (optional). It is very small and easy to install. You can see it at: http://Race-technology.com

I used it last week at for all of my runs at Willow Springs. If you want to download the software so you can look at one of them go here:

DL90 Software

Here is my data from the last blue session (warning its 13MB):

This is my car spec to make the gears & HP readings work:
