The first really serious testing of race engines was in the mid-sixties, with the test rig that Ford built to test the GT-40 engine/transaxle for LeMans. They ran the engines/transaxles for 24 hours on a programmed simulation - full power, shifts, inertial over-run, etc.
It did work - they beat Ferrari...

you should hear the new GT3. doc brown had one in his shop (sometimes has several). incredible even at idle. sounds like a full out race motor even at idle, but not super loud. just kinda growls. dr p. would be proud.

I think it would be cool to see a 928 motor in this test stand, I wonder how long it would last
