That's not a bad idea at all Symes. That way I can get the exact time from the needle moving to when it hits sixty. . . Probably within hundredths of a second!

Can someone recommend a zero to sixty app? I'm not techie but wife's got iPhone, iPad etc

Was thinking this looks perfect . . .

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ct.speedometer&hl=en

Especially as I can concentrate on mashing the pedal and it will monitor when I've accelerated

Most are about as accurate as a sundial, Mr bear.

Try Racelogic Performance box. :y
