We had to watch as it drove off into the sunset, but SUV-ETR left out an important detail. It's a Tommy Kaira GT-R33. Totally wicked, totally sick, very exclusive.

If you read this Charles, thanks for bringing the car down!!!

WOW, Skylines are straight EVIL!!! I would have loved to be there to see a Skyline and an STi next to each other. I wish that guy the best of luck with his car. Anybody with some good #'s? Sounds like you guys had fun wish I was there. Take care -KEVIN-

Sadly, the day was a bust for the Scooby crowd. Had the Skyline not shown, I doubt we would have stayed past 11 am.

Ive said it before, I love mastro but please please please do more competative pricing, $180 vs $50 for 3 pulls or $25 for 2 pulls is just rediculous, I know only awd dyno in Fl and all but its not about proffit per pull its about sheer #'s of pulls you will get, especailly from the DSM crowd and the Audi crowed, I know many who want to dyno, but just cant swing the money for that, how about $75 for 2 pulls, still more than others but reasonable enough that you guys will need to hire a special dyno only tech just to set up and take down from the overage of buisness

i think alot of the price difference for their dyno is the amount of set up time, jacking up the car, taking off all the rims and then setting up the dyno has got to eat up some serious effort. plus Mastro is obviously there to make money. Me on the other hand just have the dyno for my own use and then decided to open it to the public on occasion. The thing that sucks is that after I already had the dyno for a year or so I got into AWD cars so it looks like I'll be getting a new in ground 4WD in about 3 months. Two dynos in the same building, can you say mega dyno parties? Instead of 100 people like friday night, maybe more like 200....

I know there down to make money, and I know the dyna pak takes a fair amount of time, took us 3 hrs to get the 996 off of APR's but then again it was at the end of the day and we were all sorts of tired and all the tool boxes were locked by Stephen before he left so it took us forever to find a breaker bar and the magnesium wheels that he had hidden, but there are quicker ways, and its a big help with 2 people, all Im saying is try to pay the dyno off in 2 years instead of 1 and make the same profit in the 5th year instead of the 10th year from repeat cust (just using an example) and thats why I said a dyno only tech to help Allen out with set up and takedown. just my suggestion

Bone, again you aren't making much sense. You are saying they should A) Drop their prices to compete with 2 wheel dynos that cost half as much to buy, are easier to set up and in most cases are already paid for. And B) higher a full time dyno person for a dyno that isn't used enough to warrant it. That is a really good way to go deep in the hole, not turn a profit...or shit, break even for that matter.

Here, here

Yeah...I agree that they dont need to compete with other guys. It took forever to get my car on and off which was their major compaint and reason fro charging so much. I believe they are discussing pricing changes which will make it better, however, my problem with it is that if it takes so long to get on and off, they should offer hourly tunning time instead of 4 runs for 199(or whatever they change it to. Back in Northern VA, I could get on an AWD rollar dyno for 100-130/hr with O2. And things there are definitely more expensive in general then here, so if they could be in that range on an hourly basis, I think that would be pretty good. For tuning purposes hourly is much nicer than a number of runs, and if i paid that much for a number of runs while tunning, I am gonna tale my time between runs to let it cool down anyways, so makes no difference to them.
