i've been waiting for him to do the cgt review.
thanks for the heads up brian.
i think it's safe to say he likes the car quite a bit.
even loves the clutch!
is video quality terrible for everyone or just me?
maybe i need a new plugin or something?

edit: uses flash and quality was fixed w/ an update.
edit no.2 actually the latest flash update didnt fix it.
but i made the mistake of buying a mac book pro for home use so i guess i don't deserve good quality.

Very cool. Thanks a ton.

That was a great video, it is nice to see someone in Hollywood that actually knows about cars and likes to drive them fast!

The video quality was good for me, I didn't try blowing it up from the small picture size though.

The quality on my MacBook Pro is great! Maybe the Porsche Gods are with me?

I think he shat his pants,

Great website. After watching several other videos there, you can tell Jay's really into the details. Thanks for the post.

Jay Leno is one cool guy. I liked the fact that, in the vid, he basically acknowledged that the Talledega "record" was pretty much a pure PR deal. This is not to understate the capabilities of the CGT, or of Leno for that matter. But as a second comment, I thought it highly irresponsible of Porsche to enlist Leno in what was, essentially, a publicity stunt - and a dangerous one for anyone other than a highly accomplished driver. It's one thing to have Mark Donohue setting records in the CGT. But there is no way Leno should have been in the car for this type of activity. He is lucky to have escaped unscathed.
