I have to disagree with the idea simulating load is better than simply getting raw horsepower. Horsepower is horsepower. How can you factor in wind resistance but not factor in ram air effect? Which car's downforce and drag coefficient do they use? Is the dyno actually in a wind tunnel? It's not scientific and it's adding variables that aren't necessary. The fact that they would report less horsepower than a DynoJet proves that they aren't good. These "features" just seem like sales hype.

It's like standing on a bathroom scale and having it factor in how much you would weigh if you were doing 60mph.

Am I opinionated or what?
