+1^ I agree .. I caught it a couple of weeks ago and deleted it. I think he even referred to it as 2.0 L at one point.

2.0 Litter V6....REALLY?
and they show the corvair and dont mention on how horrible they handled and how easy it was to lose control?

Actually, it was the '60-'64 Corvairs that had the bad handling and potential for roll-overs .. '65s and later had a revised fully independent suspension that was as good as a Corvette of the time and were raced in IMSA road course events. In the late '60s, Crown Engineering sold a kit that would allow you to flip the transaxle over and run a small block V8 mounted in place of the rear seat .. thus creating an incredibly quick (they were quite light), great handling, mid-engined, 2 seat sports car, while maintaining a stock look. The only real issue was that the stock transaxle wasn't designed for V8 torque and was the weak link. It's interesting that it even had a sort of cab forward, mid engine proportions that the NSX has.
Yep, the info is inaccurate, 3.0 producing 300hp, 12.4 sec qrt miles, faster that 996 turbo, etc., but the car looks and sounded great
Here's the thread from a month ago discussing this show, including a link to watch it online:

Bodden needs to get his facts straight...
This episode originally aired in 2008. I have it on my Tivo from back then
Unfortunately the Host doesn't write the script, the writers do. :smile:
