I never thought about it before until I read this at dynojet.com:
How can I use the Dynojet chassis dynamometer to test a full time all-wheel
drive vehicle like the Diamond Star cars (Eclipse, Talon 3000GT VR4)or any
other all-wheel drive vehicles

The Dynojet Automotive Chassis Dynamometer is unable to test all wheel drive
vehicles unless one set of drive wheels can be disconnected. We are currently
testing a four wheel dyno with the capability to add on to existing dyno's
but it is not available as of yet.
