Has nothing to do with horsepower, it's done to check emissions under
load.  Here in Mass the Q's are exempt from the dyno, they do the ole
tailpipe sniffing at idle on the Q's.  Emissions are only checked every
other year.  When they first implemented the dyno testing, the Range
Rovers were overlooked and not on the exempt list, most stations either
did the emissions with another car on the dyno or jacked up the rear
wheels and let them spin free when they suspected big brother was
watching.
