At first I thought the strap was going to break and the idiot standing in front of the car was going to get crushed. Once I say the guy stepping over the roller I knew what was to come. All around poor safety management by the shop.

Not only would I NOT stand in front of a car being dyno'ed, but am I the only one seeing sparks flying from under the car by the right front wheel?

I remember when Mo at SRT was doing the dyno for IS300 Turbo & set world record for HP! It was very scary standing right next to that car getiing dynoed. It sounded like the engine was gonna blow up. It was quite a rush.

There's a reason they were so careful around the dyno demos for the IS-F...

I think it's funny that 10+ people are gathered around to watch that POS getting dynoed.
