Abstract
A vehicle data display system, method and article of manufacture are provided. The vehicle data display system of the present invention communicates with a vehicle network through a connector located in the vehicle passenger compartment and displays and manipulates the data obtained from the vehicle network. One embodiment of the present invention includes a computer program product for directing a general purpose digital computer to obtain specific vehicle data from the vehicle network and manipulate the data to obtain a vehicle power. The vehicle power represents a power that is generated at a driving wheel of the vehicle, thereby allowing an enthusiast or technician to obtain a power value that represents the power delivered to the vehicle'"'"'s wheels.

11. A computer program product for directing a general purpose digital computer to perform a set of computer readable instructions to obtain a vehicle acceleration, comprising:
-
obtaining from a vehicle network a first velocity;
establishing a start time when the first velocity is obtained;
obtaining from the vehicle network a second velocity;
establishing an end time when the second velocity is obtained;
subtracting the first velocity from the second velocity to obtain a velocity difference;
subtracting the start time from the end time to obtain a time difference; and
dividing the velocity difference by the time difference. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
