I've done this once before with Alex, but I'll do it again!

It's intense to watch these cars strapped down like a wild horse engine roaring up to 6000 rpm (in my case) with the rear wheels turning 140mph. They test the rear wheel HP with the owner driving, and the cars in top gear, they want as close to a 1:1 ratio as they can get.

They give out printed graphs showing torque and HP curves. It's good information to have and this is not a HP contest! Even if you have a 140HP V8, you should do this for a baseline.

P.S. If this baby comes early I won't be there
