While these two guys would like to think they are Engineers, they clearly are not. Testing 0-60 was totally meaningless since there are far too many variables going on to point to one thing as the cause of a lower 0-60 time.
They could have stopped at the wind tunnel test...that seemed to tell the story to me.
Clearly the car was a Euro...and at that it was in pretty decent shape. Certainly worth keeping...they coudl have easily picked a ratty early US car for this test and saved a bunch of money.
Maybe the car will get some publicity off of this. I love the way they never mentioned the word Porsche or 928...that would have for sure gotten them a letter from Porsche's NA attorney.
They should spend time testing the old guy's face aerodynamics with and without that flavah-savah of a beard he wears.
It was a disgusting show to watch. The 928 has a better coeffecient of drag than the 911s of the same era.
