I enjoyed watching that. Congrats and thanks to Sharkwerks for a great show. You guys do need to work on the brakes though, ZKermit needs better stopping power.
Slightly off topic, the 997TT vs. GT-R show was depressing in comparison. Although I expected the GT-R to perform better than the 997.1 TT, the Porsche was put at a greater disadvantage by being a tiptronic AT. They should have gone for a 6-speed manual or better yet a 997.2 TT with PDK Sport Chrono Plus.

My favorite part was hearing both cars scream on the top end run, also watching a car slide sideways around a corner at about 150 is pretty cool as well. I laughed when Tanner called the Ferrari Miss Piggy, and when as he predicted it had problems, not a good showing in that respect.
Overall, great publicity for you guys!

It was yes! That TT edition was done months before the PDK was available
Hehe thanks!
