Lightly tuned Evo mates with side pillar after disastrous dyno session. FAIL
That big red rope signals preparation. A symbol, if you will, of security. A sign that your pride and joy is in loving, trained and sympathetic hands.
We imagine however, a very small but vitally important bit of red rope remains in its packaging somewhere out back. Because when this tuned 450bhp Evo 8 goes for a little fitness test, something goes wrong.
Watch the video. It'll buff out, surely?
As dyno tests go, it's pretty bad. Almost as bad as when a GT500 Mustang EXPLODES.

I guess they never bothered to strap down the front end. Now, they have some extra work to do.

That happens when you have more power than brains.

Watch them all walk away with an innocent expression, when it happens... The whole point of walking away is nót passing in front of the camera, boys.
