NY Times has an article on Dynolicious, for iPhone, lets you record the 1/4 mile times of cars via the iPhone's accelerometer.
Or anything else you happen to be riding in...

0-60 11.82s
1/4 mi 19.11s @ 106.5 mph
Boeing 737-500
0-60 12.92s
1/4 mi 20.01s @ 95.4 mph
Airbus 319
0-60 13.18s
1/4 mi 20.4s @ 93 mph
Boeing 757
0-60 13.52s
1/4 mi 20.56s @ 97.7 mph
Boeing 747-400

Accelerometers are cool. How else would you end up knowing these numbers? What other machines -- elevators, roller coasters, ferries, etc -- would generate interesting results?
