On that car maybe, but on like a viper or mustang saleen.. No way! Those things jump everytime the gear change happens.

It's a technique.....after a few drinks.

That depends on what type of Dyno it is on. For instance, some Dynos will only support car to a certain whp range, and if you're pushing close to it, something bad can occur.

That's a really funny way to strap in a car, I would most definitely not trust that. At least they got one in by the tow hook

How can you tighten those and not crimple any sheet metal on the trunk lid or roofline?

The only safe way is from front and aft of the car's natural pull.

First time a tire blows, the car will go sailing from 0-60-wall in 3 seconds.
