MCR 68 Pro Street Hemi Charger

I wonder if those guys have a clue what they're doing. NO WAY the straps should be that loose and have the car dance around like that.  To continue flogging it with that much movement is amateur at best. 

As for power, it will show better numbers if everything is sinched down properly.

This 'cuda moves around quite a bit as well past the half way point of the video.  It has that sweet whine.  Watch at the end of the video when he rows thru the gears, it wants to jump out of there.

That is a sweet Charger. The rear wheels are too big for my taste as they are almost wide as they are tall.


And you get slightly better numbers if you leave some tension off of the straps as the lesser tension equals
a lower rolling resistance and you will see an increase in the numbers. But this is not safe.

That's not necessarily true. If the tension is too light the tires will slip on the drum and break traction. The way that thing was dancing around, for sure there was broken traction and it would be reflected in the power numbers.

Yes that is true also, there is margin in between too tight and too loose

It might sound good, but where's the numbers?
