Pretty cool episode. He pretty much loves the R8.

It was a re-run of the episode that they had earlier in the year, but still nice to see him push the R8. It would have been fun to of been in the car when he was driving. He definetly had at least the first level of traction control turned off. Thought it was kind of funny that he thought it had the carbon/ceramic brakes and it had the black calipers (non-ceramic).

I was wondering about the brakes statement. Good to see you can't believe everything they say on TV.

On the same show they said the Ford GT has 500HP when it has 550HP!

Overall it is a fun show that is accurate enough. It is set to autotape on my PVR. This episode was particularly fun to watch when I got back from 2 days at Infineon. I looked to see what had accumulated in the PVR and viola, there it was.

The Carrera G T could'nt hit 200. It was an over 750 H.P. Ford G T that could. I would like to go over and check that Texas mile out sometime.Hopefully the R 8s aerodynamics could allow a slightly modified R8 to hit 200. A V.F. supercharger and cover some of the R8s' front airblockers MAY do the trick. I think Tanner was a little afraid to really get on the cars at start of the run.The Carrera G T should have done better.
