Can anyone recommend any good apps for android phones to measure 0-60 times, 1/4 mile, etc? Do they even exist?

For IPhone:
I use "Harry's Lap Timer" for just about everything. Has GPS speedo to see actual speed vs displayed speed.

"Track Addict" is what I use when I want a video record overlaid with performance data.

Torque pro is the app your looking for the android,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...l.torque&hl=en

Then you need one of these (plugs into the OBDII port, and is Bluetooth),
Amazon.com : Super Mini ELM327 OBD2 OBD-II Bluetooth Auto Diagnostic Tool for Windows Android Torque White : GPS & Navigation Amazon.com : Super Mini ELM327 OBD2 OBD-II Bluetooth Auto Diagnostic Tool for Windows Android Torque White : GPS & Navigation



For Iphone,
DashCommand, and you need a Elm 37 WiFi (not blue tooth)



Also note, in either case since the OBDII plug is aiming straight down in the car, get a low profile Elm37 so you are not hitting it with your knee when plugged into the port.

Torque App for Android. See your car data - YouTube

DashCommand on iPad using OBD2 wifi - YouTube

Can the app be used by itself, or is the OBDII bluetooth plugin needed.

Needs the Elm 327 device, since it's data logging the Car.

Yes, since it's data logging the cars data. With some apps, it's using the phones accelerometer instead, and if the phone is not rock solid in the car, your going to get funky readings.

The only thing that it will not do is give you are reaching time off the lights (logging starts at the cars acceleration).
