okay... this is wrong. why desecrate a classic porsche for your damnable myth? why not build a replica out of a civic or miata or something?

Wasn't the best one of their shows imho. Was surprised about the 14s ET for that vintage. Thought it was dumb to trash a nice 928 for something the wind tunnel could easily prove/disprove.
