That viper looked like it was pulling on the porsche too bad he spun. When he lost it though I cringed while saying "Nooooo!", thankfully the car looked ok.

Edit - Can someone tell me a date and time when this episode will be airing.
Thanks

it just doesn't make sense to me, why do they keep making all these high powered cars rwd? whats the point of all that power if you can't even get traction? awd ftw!

Default scheduled for June 2nd

The show is scheduled for June 2nd. You can check out speedtv.com for more info on local showtimes.

Regarding, the question about high horsepower and two wheel drive. I don't get it either, who cares how much power you have if you can't stick it.

There is another episode of Supercars exposed, where one of the guys on this Forum "mxpop" stomped a Viper and an Austin Martin on the racetrack with his "race built" Harmon Motive STI.

Default Pictures

The CEC shop isn't too far from home, this is the shop that is owned by Claus Ettensberger. Claus was the one driving the Techart GT Street, also known as a Porsche Turbo just isn't fast enough for me car

Anyway, here are some pictures of the car and no I have no idea what is the deal with the new paint job. In case you can't read it, the writing on the left hand side says, "Don't lift" and the writing on the right hand side says, "Go Faster!"
