dyno question...
how do you guys normall strap your cars down to a dyno?

i had a little bit of trouble getting mine strapped down in the back...

i ended up connecting it to the tow hitch.... (yea, yea, yea... no comments about that needed) and really, i know how it bolts onto the car.. and i know its just a unibody car, so im not tooo comfortable having it tied by the hitch

ideas?

I let the dyno personel do the work and if they don't know how, I would go somewhere else.

Hook your mobile home onto your Vert and tow it down to the dyno. Then you can just strap the trailer axles down onto the dyno and your ready to go.
