Cool Porsche Race on "Supercars Exposed"

Saw this a while back on "Supercars Exposed." Claus Ettensberger himself was driving the White Techart 997 (which he designed, i believe), and VRAlexander was driving the 996 (maybe some of you have heard of him, hes all over youtube with vids of his Porsche Carrera GT). On the show, VRAlexander was all top secret about what was under the hood of his car, but the rules were that the cars had to be street legal, and they had to race them on the same tires that they normally drive on. It pretty cool how the race turns out. NOTE: This race was done on a closed air strip and was completely legal (it was on TV). I am in no way supporting street racing so please dont delete this thread! My dad has an '06 Carrera S and he used to have a '96 Carrera and ive just always loved Porsches so enjoy!

Saw this episode. It is epic. I absolutely love Supercars exposed. Tanner Faust is a great guy-funny and a great driver as well.

Tiff > Tanner.

I've only seen a few of these Super Cars exposed shows, but I do like it. Didn't even know about it until fairly recently. Saw one last night where he got to tear up some CA highway in some guys Carrera GT, looked like a LOT of fun!!! Good driving too.

hmmmm seems like this VRalexander guy is a bit of a mystery man. Some say he's a scam artist, others say he's a FBI agents and others say he's homeless...I Googled "VRAlexander 996" trying to finding out how much horsepower that car makes and came across this thread.

our old homeless friend VRalexander is on SPEED TV right now... - 6speedonline.com Forums

Seen it man, Claus Ettensberger was upset about losing initially, and thought his car was not street legal after he pulled hard away from him past 100 mph. Overall great television.
