How NOT to tie an AWD car down to a dyno (VIDEO)

This is retarded.

Not only were they not using the at least 4 car tie downs (2 front, 2 rear) they should be using on an AWD car, at the least! They only use 2 motorcycle tie downs ON THE REAR!!! And they dont even put them as far apart as possible, like around the lower control arms, it looks like they purposely put them as close to the middle as they could!

It makes me cringe when I see guy only using two car straps on 2WD cars on a dyno, this, sorry but hell they deserve this. Just feel sorry for the EVO

I refuse. I refuse to do what you tell me to do.

Just let me have this. I need a win. That's how bad life is right now. I'm looking for a win on i-Club.

Wow... I'm walking away now.
