It's a 300ZX, I'll never forget the dash in those cars.

Yeh i guess 160mph on a dyno in fourth isn't impressive. Tell me why it won't run that?
Because of the load difference. The dyno is not a race track. So you are saying i can put my car on some jackstands, and put a little load on the tires and then say i'm running a 9sec 1/4 mile time?

Maybe you should of asked what kind of dyno it was on?:dunno: I don't know if you know about dynos but it was on a mustang dyno. The dyno loading algorithm takes wind resistance into account. Also, it isn't hard to spin the tires on the dyno so you don't have perfect traction either. The loading of the dyno is very similar to the loading on the street. The cooling and airflow is also less being on the dyno.:chair:

:thinking: LMAO No response..:dunno: Do you know that there is huge drums on a dyno that the wheels have to spin?:takethat: :bash: . How is that and doing it on jackstands the same thing?:chair: :grinfu:
 
Many people prefer final tunes on the street because of the load difference. There is no replacing track times. The load looks whacked in that video, he pulls through 4th gear like a 800hp supra and he's not blowing the tires off in 1st and 2nd? I'm not sure why so many people jumped on the idiot side of this conversation so quick!

So what are you saying? A mustang dyno is one of the best.
