Most newish dynos have the ability to do a simulated drag race on them. It's one of the features. Ford had a setup that they toted all over the US during the introduction of the 2010 Mustang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpMWuOX3ekI

Ziploc posted:Drag launching on a dyno? I hope they were extrapolating times with that setup, ignoring drag. This way when they try and figure out why it's slower at the track they tune it bad and blow it up. There's probably a legit reason why they are doing that but I'm so jaded by the internet I'm just gonna call it stupid

All Mustang Dynamometers are loading dynamometers designed to duplicate real world operating conditions. Our patented control system uses eddy current power absorbers to load a vehicle exactly the way it would be loaded on the street -- including wind resistance, which is a significant factor in high-speed testing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SecR5bYRNB0 It is a ken block Gymkhana spoof that has a slower car, fireworks, mock-terrorism, and the Subaru driving through some trailer-office. I'm apologize if this is a repost.

Finally got around to finishing the Japanese car buying video. It's really really informative, if a bit drawn out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Y97oLjiuA#t=7m22s The bidding area and system is so hilariously state of the art and seems typical in Japanese efficiency. And the forms look very familiar from Lum's thread.
