Shelby GT-500 Blows Up Dyno (Vid)

Courtesy of Top Gear UK:

"This is every tuner's nightmare. You take your steroidal drop-top to the dyno so everyone can see how big your horsepower is, then just as you're reaching peak power the rolling road explodes.

Which is precisely what happened to this poor bloke. There he was, quietly enjoying an afternoon of bangin' choonz and decorative hats at the Expo Performance 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, when he decides he should probably find out how much power his Shelby GT500's making. Off to the dyno man, open throttle, create toe-curling amounts of energy in small area, EXPLODE EVERYTHING."

Damn, I hate it when that happens.

1) Eh, that'll buff right out.

2) Some of the street racers in the Hayabusa community are getting GT-500 levels of power at one rear wheel. Difference being is that if the dyno supporting them and their bike lets go, things are going to get a lot more interesting.

Well then, that wasn't very professional of them. Oh wait, was this Carnie Dyno? Good luck getting them to court.

This weekend i'm part of the organisers of the car show in Assen where the people tuning cars will demonstrate their stuff.
