Default Flashback, that time Jay Leno spun my car

And that time we chatted a bit up in the canyons above Malibu… him in his CGT.


This was a “compare” test in an earlier episode of jay lenos garage. Harmless spin. No, Jay is not driving it during the drifting parts, that is Kelly Collins.

Thanks for sharing! very cool story and fun to see Jay harmlessly spin the 997 RS. I do believe these carbon wheels are no longer forsale to the general public from CR.

I remember watching this video when it was first released. Didn’t realize this car is yours. I like the look of the gold E88’s on your silver car. How much does a set of these CF wheels go for? Hopefully they offered them to you at a discount.

I’m not sure, at the time i think they were like 15k. I had no interest in them. They were, at the time working to get the wheels offered as OEM and I think the mustang was first to offer them. Now I think they are only OEM.
