What's wrong with this picture?

The rear license plate is missing ?

Miatas are RWD?

duh.

Probably a bunch of dumb career tech boys who drive F150s/Chevys and think they're the greatest vehicles in the world, or atleast that was how it was at my high school.

Would like to see the aftermath...

I believe the blue wall will be a couple shades of maroon, and possibly blood red darker.
God, this really would be fun to watch wouldn't it?
I'm just wondering how do a bunch of idiots, who don't know to put the rear wheels of an MX-5 on the dyno even 'get hold of' a dyno?

My problem is that none of those dick weasels notice the axles going to the rear wheels while the were bent over threading those straps through the wheels. What about the longitudinally mounted engine? Thats usually a good case for rwd, or at least awd.

Reminds me of a picture I once saw of a Camry with chains solely on the rear wheels.

At least that will help them turn and brake, even if it won't help it accelerate. Chains on the rear of a Camry won't help it do ANYTHING.

I showed this picture to a dude I know, and he said, that some people will do this, and run up the dyno(I don't even know if that's possible), and then they hit the brakes in order to test those.
Sounds a little far fetched maybe? Does a dyno have a motor that can actually drive the rollers? I always thought that the dyno simply measured power and torque at the wheels.
Any insight?

If a dyno measures power by the amount of electricity developed when a car's wheels spin the drums, then it stands to reason that if you put electricity into a dyno it should turn the drums.

As far as i know, a dyno doesnt calculate from how much electricity is generated. Its based on the drums weighing a certain amount, and then measuring how quickly a vehicle can accelerate those drums. 1 horsepower is defined as the ability to move 550 pounds 1 foot in 1 second. Im not the greatest at math, but i believe its derived from that calculation.

There are also dynos that have a water brake system that pumps a known amount of water into a viscous coupling. So you can vary the load on the motor.

I've never seen one in chassis configuration though, not that I have much dyno experience in general though....
