Thanks for sharing
Personal favorite was the old school Pantera keeping up to the Viper down the straight away, even if he had NO chance to make the first turn
. Who says old Ford's never die!
See yeah

Almost all had slicks on it seems ...
But I dunno what the 996 had under the lid but it must have been some giggle juice no way you pull on theat 620 techart like that with traditional mods....
Any clues as to what mods were done to the 996? I had no sound when I watched...

It's life started out being built at protomotive where it had around 1000hp to the wheels, however protomotive damaged his turbo so he decided to take it to the next level. He pulled his 996 from protomotive and sent it to tuning technologies, where they built it to completion. It obviously has bigger turbos, rebuilt engine, intercoolers. I know he had HRE build him special custom wheels for the event, however he seemed to be running different wheels when they showed his car. It has many carbon fiber pieces... Ceramic coated turbo housings, carbon fiber rear diffuser, GT35R turbos 60-130 takes 3 seconds. Word is he also has a 3000hp street camaro, and a 1600rwhp supra.. That's all I know.
Not much more to be found here, but he's supposedly over 1,000hp.

Killer concept and ABOUT TIME!!
Only wish they could put stockers up against each other and see what they would do.
Audi R8 VS Gallardo etc.
Guess it's lower budget show though. You tape who shows up.
Loved it!!!!

Gallardo is going to take down an R8, those audis are not fast. However, Gallardo is off the pace compared to the 997TT and F430, in my opinion.

I thought it was for street legal, non bottle cars?
Oh wait, 1,500hp out of a Porsche engine? 3.6? 3.8?
Nahhhhhh, can't be ... can it?

Yeah, I was kind of thinking that myself. Would you be able to get enough traction to the ground to do that?
Anyway, cool concept except for the night part. I thought that sucked a little from a viewer's perspective.

Speaking of traction or the lack there of, Alex's turbo is rwd. It does have those slicks though.

He even said that he wants to see Alexs' engine after the race was over. LOL 
He was all smile on the outside but inside he was probably going #@$@%$#% at that 996. LOL
