Congrats and The Kermit just screams with passion only a flat 6 can orchestrate!
Cheers

Thanks and the 430 is modded and has wheels frome the scud.
Cheers pal... I know we should have brought a car with some big hairdryers but...

 

looks like a replay is scheduled for tomorrow evening! I missed it's first run but have it set to record now!

 

Cool I'm sure it'll be replayed a few times!

 

The 3.9 ZKERMIT has to be my favorite NA Porsche ever...what a spactacular car..

 

Alex, I caught the rerun...great work. I know the headers,exh,tune really wake up the 430 so your results were special.

And I have to say, the green is even growing on me

 

Thanks and yes that F430 beat down a 16M only a while earlier Green is always faster right Except when it's orange... or behind silver on the loop
Thanks fdorn! I say this every time but she's retired now... No more adventures! Just going to live a healthy life at the shop and home with a lot of miles in between

 

Where can I go to see the full episode? I don't have cable.

Thanks

 

I'm assuming there's torrent

 

As did I. Couldn't find any on my usual sites. I assume it will be on youtube or vimo soon.

 

Yeah I would think so.. it's on again tonight I think too..

 

Don't know if you caught today's episode but looks like our lil' motor is quicker than the Viper SRT-10 in the mile and only 3mph slower than the ZR1

 

^ just watched it. That Viper got out the hole better but once the Vette shifted 5th it was still all power...

and yes sharkster, you all do the best P-car modifications out there.

 

I was shocked to the see the Viper so as well as it did. My assumption was that the ZR-1 would far better in EVERY test. Obviously, I was wrong. As far as the price tag, and purpose of the car (status, etc...), I think it would've been better to place the Viper ACR (non-X) with the ZR-1. Best with the best.

I think Paul Tracy did a PHENOMINAL job launching that Viper (without traction control) better than the launch control equipped ZR-1. Also - I think the end race was staged, with the pass by Tracy that sealed the deal, because it looked like the pass between Massa and Alonso a couple weeks back. I think Tanner tried to sell it on the last corner, by backing off early (to avoid contact of someone else's car).

But the results were close on almost every test. This show is proving to be quite entertaining. We still need a constant test:

0-100 time
100-0 distance (I know they do this combined - but separated shows two distinct features of the car)
1/4 drag race
perhaps a slalom (or auto-x setup)
and a constant race track (like Top Gear uses - either a private track, or same track rental each episode)

This would build up a HUGE database of constant results.

Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to run the 1/4 mile, and then have the drivers switch and repeat the results. Just throwing it out there.

(I have no idea if this is off-topic - I saw the title and thought it was relevant somehow)

 

hehe thanks man... I was pretty stoked to see that Kermit is quicker in the mile than the SRT-10 and only a couple behind the ZR1
