Never knew that Nissan built a six tenths version of the Mega Track.

Confederancy of Dunces.

There’s no way in hell I would ever want to be anywhere near a car on a dyno, except maybe behind blast-proof glass on the other side of the building.  Wayyy too much can go wrong. 

Yes, this could have been a whole lot worse, the shock on the second strap when the first on broke could have easily broken it as well, and then you could have had a real mess.

Hot Wheel.

It’s even a fake Toyota.

It actually has more to do with the electrical system than anything. per SAE testing standards, the US-spec WRX’s need to have their horsepower rated while charging 3 vape pens. The added load on the alternator is why the US Subarus have a lower horsepower rating.

From that day onwards, Sir Stewart never left home without his digital tire pressure gauge.
