Best tie down spots for a dyno pull?
I may have a chance to dyno my Z06 tomorrow and would like some input. The city i live in is fairly small and I suspect the dyno operator has no experience with the C6.
What are the best places to put the tie-downs for a dyno pull?
Thanks.

The tie downs the transports companies used to ship Vettes are the places the lifting pucks go in. I would think that should do it!

They strap the rims to an anchor in the concrete. No scratches on mine either...
(obviously, only the front rims) and the rear to the control arms.

I've dynoed a bunch of vettes.
I always wrap one strap at each corner, around the front lower control arms, and the rear lower control arms.
Position them towards the outer sides of the car, so if the car moves a bit, they don't slide or move.
Make sure the straps do not contact the REAR tires. (in front it doesn't matter, obviously)
Make sure the rear straps do not contact the exhaust.
The first time the car is spun on the rollers, it will settle into the proper position, and then retighten the straps before making any true full pulls.
Be careful.
You DO NOT want to dyno if it is not strapped properly.
