They can if they want. But Crysler claimed that they only wanted display their cars as a pace car. They probably dont think that it is worth the money to get a team happening.

Where in the hell do you get this stuff????

Dyno Dynamics Shootout Mode is highly accurate if it's implemented and operated correctly. It is just like any diagnostic tool - if you are not trained in the use of it, or deliberately misuse it, your results will be horsesh%t. The dyno is only ever as accurate as it's operator, and it's ******** tuners that have given DD a bad name.

Please, do everyone a favour and read this link below.

An overly simplistic saying, but very apt, applies here - "Give a dumbarse a knife, he'll cut himself. Give a thief a knife, he'll rob someone. Give surgeon a knife, he'll save someone's life."

My apologies, I was referring mainly to incorrect implementation of Shootout Mode software.
