Garage 419 - Farah vs Garbow - 20Dec07

Great show. I'd be tempted to get a Cayman GTR over a Carrera 4 if I was in the market.

I believe the narrow car is the electric variant of the Ariel Atom called the Wrightspeed X-1. You can look it up on youtube. It's sick fast!!!!!!

Hey Matt, The Narrow car Garbow mentioned is the Tango. Check it out at http://www.commutercars.com/ Eduardo from Brazil.

E85 is a smart move right now. It's a nice temporary fix and it's a greeeeat performance fuel. It can have high octane ratings for those race engines. I just wish they would make consumer performance E85 bsed vehicles. Just imagine the ZR1 running on E85 with a 100 octane rating. It would be awesome.

its called the " Ariel Atom " ..." Its Honda engine, taken over from Civic Type-R, is supplemented by mechanical supercharger which provides 300 hp. Having in mind that Atom weighs only 456 kilograms, its acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds is not surprising". lol yea stupid fast!!!

its is called the " Ariel Atom "

I agree with what you said about F1, Matt. We're almost to the point with engine technology that we might be grazing the outer limits of ability of a human being to control an F1 car. I also agree with Garbo - pull out some of the electronic assistance systems and see who's really a good driver and who is helped along by computers. It shouldn't be a blood sport but in the old days it was more on the drivers to perform than just the car. This could also give stragglers like Toyota or Super Aguri a better shot at the likes of Mclaren and Ferrari. However, that said, I still think the cap on engine technology is a bit odd, especially for 10 years. However, again with what Matt said, I think other technologies need to be focused on.

Best show so far. Totally informative and to the point and Roger Garbow was a great guest. Please continue down this road and you guys will have a real winner here.
