If for any reason you find some twisted kind of joy in watching sports cars overpowering dynometers with catastrophic results, then by all means, you should take a look at the following video footage.
YouTube author Yan Yaya tells us that this incident was filmed at the Expo Performance 24 in Sherbrooke, a city in southern Quebec, Canada.
What happened here is that, a Ford Mustang-based Shelby GT500 Convertible, which for the 2007-2009 model years came with a 500hp supercharged V8 – though, we do not know if this particular car had any kind of upgrades, was on the dynometer when something broke causing an explosion of sorts.
From the video, it looks like the dynometer went out first, but check the video out for yourself and please tell us what you think.
