Hi James, My brother has a similar program for his iPAQ which has a nice sounding lady tell him when to turn but it won't calculate performance. Most GPS receivers update once a second or so which isn't fast enough for calculating 0-60 times... or maybe that's good enough for Spitfires...
The one you saw was probably the DynoStar GPS. It updates positional information 20 times a second so it can get accurate data for track performance: http://www.roadtune.co.uk/dynostar.shtml Check your GPS specs. Newer models might refresh faster. You could try finding or writing (aren't you a software dude?) a program that will SPAM the GPS data out into a CSV file and import it into a spreadsheet. If that worked, it would be pretty simple to calculate and display the data.
