The Targa will be sold. Maybe even a Pelican might buy it. It's a nice car. Plus, if it can do what is claimed, the 930s better look out.
Truly, the fact is no one lost face on this one. No one "nutted up" $100, so EM justifiably didn't feel a need to show up at WSIR. So, it's a draw.
Sure, there's always Dec. 13th - I think that's the next track day, and there are dynos around L.A. But if I were EM, I'd say "screw it" and move on. A choice few understand this car's potential, and while even with their knowledge, the car can still be doubted. Doubt, however, is not conclusive. Neither, for that matter, is vitriol, claim or flashing photos of tachs pegged somewhere in the vicinity of 9,000 RPMs.
The only real losers in this are the Pelican members who thought, after reading 30 pages of thread, that some "explosive" outcome were to result in EM running his car to 8500 RPM in 1-3 gears. I feel for those guys. Anyone else should save their C-note for the next track day at Willow.
