We're talking about two very different issues with running a dyno on the car. First is the traction control which absolutely cannot be fully disabled by just turning off the switch. The fuses in the ECU housing must be pulled otherwise the car just bogs down as soon as you start running the dyno.

Second are the other aspects of the ESP, traction control, anti lock brakes and front wheel speed sensors which, as you well know, don't have a switch. This system prevents the car from running at any rpm higher than 5,000 with just the rear wheels turning. It effectively cuts the engine at 5K. This was proven by both Woody's and my Dyno runs.

Per my conversation with the regional service manager for DC, the only way to prevent this cut-out is to fool the sensors into thinking the front wheels are turning at the same speed as the rears. Even if you pull the fuse for the front sensors or disable them, the engine will cut-out at 5,000 rpm. Also, as far as he knows, there is no dyno mode in the DRBIII.

So basically as far as we know thus far, a full RPM dyno cannot be accomplished with this car until Woody come-up with a circuit that fools the front sensors.

The odd thing is that the SLK320 has a built-in dyno mode but that mode has been removed from our cars. My guess is that the dyno they have posted is from a SLK320 and they just fudged it to appear to be a Crossfire.
