[edit] What Automobile Related Software Is Available?

[edit] Palm Pilot

[CMA] If you have a US Robotics Palm Pilot organizer, I found a neat piece of software that you can use for your car, it will track gas mileage as well as maintenance and remind you to do maintenance based upon the mileage you put into the program when you put gas in the car, the program can be found at http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/6608/

[edit] Car Test

[MB] I found something really cool on the internet. All of you using PCs MUST try this. Go to http://home.earthlink.net/~patglenn/ct.html   and download Car Test. Here is their explanation of what it is:

"CarTest is an automobile maximum acceleration computer simulation. The user enters the specifications for an automobile and CarTest will mathematically accelerate the car from a standing or rolling start until maximum speed is reached. The simulation is time-based and event-driven. That is, the acceleration times are not explicitly calculated but, rather, time progresses at small increments and the usual events that take place during acceleration: clutch dump, wheelspin, shifting, etc. happen in proper course. The acceleration times are arbitrary milestones that are reached during the car's response to these events."

It has 877 cars to choose from. NSX options are as follows: 91, 91 auto, Dinan Chip 91, Sportshift 95, NSX-R 93, NSX-SC Hennesey 93, NSX-T 95, NSX-T 97, Comptech 95 (Super).

However, you can modify ANY of these to match your car in terms of HP, torque, gearing, tire width, etc. You can do drag races with up to six cars, get lap times for 50 World famous tracks, or just look at power/time charts. It is so cool you won't believe it!!!!! When you download it, you will get several items, the program itself is labeled as CT, it is a DOS program. Just follow the instructions from there.
