I love it..."What's in the motor?"...."It's stock"

It was a great episode and it was nice to see these cars getting to show off there stuff without being reviewed by guys getting paid by magazines .Can you imagine in this months Car and Driver they picked an M3 over a 997TT. Doesn’t make sense there not even in the same class!
Nice to see the final two where Porsches

Is this true? That would mean it is still AWD, which would surprise me given the power it is putting down.

I know that it is a Protomotive car, but I have no idea what has been done to it. Everything has remained top secret!

It was a fun episode to watch. I have to admit I have watched a few epsisodes...the program is a guilty pleasure for me.

i mean VRALEXANDER really did blow by the TechArt GT Street like it was standing still, and by no means is the GTStreet a slow car, its got the TechArt engine package also which is running at 630hp, so like mid 500s to the wheels! so VRALEXANDER must really have a serious setup with some huge snails in the trunk...

For sure. I know of 4 other Protomotive cars that put over 900hp to the wheels (and are reliable!).

Wow, The 996tt zipped past the 997tt at the end like a Z06 passing a Nissan Sentra-I instantly got "wood".

The owner of the 996tt wouldn't say what he has in the trunk, after being asked three times. Anybody know what is the story w/ this car? Big Garretts + other goodies maybe? Wow. Nice job Alex.

DW
Man did that 996 pull on that Techart 997 in the home stretch! Wow that thing is fast...
