Not to say a import driver couldn't do it but most likely it is going to be a domestic driver that does it

I'd say the guy that made this is damn smart if it actually works. I also have to agree w/everyone that my car would NEVER go near it.

Do you morons that rag on it have any idea the knowledge and engineering know-how that had to go into making a dyno with tires, an axle, and a laptop? If it actually works, the guy is probably an engineer, and therefor wouldnt be classified as a "dumb hillbilly." And import drivers do way more stupid **** than domestic owners.
