I hate that movie. Anyways the wii controller would be a great device for testing your high performace upgrades to your car.
with the right algorithms you could test for:
1/4mile times
0-60 times
60-0 braking
maximum turning/braking Gs
Estimated BHP
and probably a heck of alot more...
What do you guys think?

| Sure but... why use the wiimote for this? Why not get a better accelerometer with just one axis? (Well... two if you want to measure forces sideways, but still you get my point) |

Well designed.
Low price.
Bluetooth.
Linux, Windows and OSX open source drivers. |

| Sure but... I'm quite sure the data would be half-crappy. (I currently see the bluetooth as something negative. Screw you Windows Bluetooth API!) |
