What would petrolheads do without the rolling chassis dynamometer, that rite of passage and reality check for the ambitions of many a performance-tuned automobile?
Unlike the more accurate – and undoubtedly safer, yet infinitely more boring – engine dynamometer, the chassis version takes a car right up to its peak simulated performance by having the wheels spin at maximum geared speed.
Whereas very little can go wrong with an engine dynamometer – you just need to keep the airflow going to prevent overheating – the chassis version is practically an accident waiting to happen, especially when running a high-performance all-wheel drive vehicle on it.
Witness then the unfortunate state of affairs to befall this Mitsubishi Lancer Evo owner in America's unofficial 52nd state, Puerto Rico.
Keen to verify if the latest modifications to his car really yield the claimed 330kW, the Evo owner set up his car for a peak power output run.

.But still this is very, very funny...
