Seriously. If a fat technician tests my car on a dyno, will it be different than a skinny technician?
No. Dyno measures power output against a known resistance. Only difference might be rolling radius of tires, but not by any significant amount.

However, a car with a skinny driver will accelerate faster.


Yes, I know you are joking. But I was bored for a minute.
