| Porsche 997 Turbo Inferno, Valentine One radar detector is used for front radar detection. Great product for European use to detect the photo speed traps and various radar guns used. |

| Nürburgring: coming out of a nice curve at the Nordschleife. Look at the rubber mark behind the right-rear wheel. |

| 575 Hp - 840 Nm .... look at the power / torque curves above. (before/after) Quicker than a 996 GT2 on the track. |

| Valentine One Radar Detector can be set up under the rear view mirror, or can be ordered as a V1 Remote, hidden behind the grille, or up on the ski rack. The Valentine 1 radar detector can be programmed for European operation or USA/Canada operation. |

Here is a short article on a new Porsche Turbo Modified by Sportec it is, IMHO, the best car for everyday driving and it kills almost anything on the track. A Masterpiece from Porsche. I run a Valentine One radar detector for photo traps and radar protection. The Valentine 1 provides superb Euro radar detection. Given I am a passionate car freak, here is a short review of my previous cars: MB E55 AMG - very nice but too much power on back wheels to go really fast. Wheels spin all the time. Audi RS4 bi-turbo - a classic favorite Audi RS6 plus - unbelievable performance for the size. However, it is still a station wagon... BMW M6 V10 - a piece of junk, the car's electronics do everything for you and you feel handicapped driving the dumb 16-program gear box. Porsche 993 Turbo Sportec - nice but too old now and does not handle so well on the track Porsche 964 RSR - a track beast but a little dangerous at very high speeds around the Nürburgring. Porsche 996 Turbo Sportec 550Hp - my second favorite car, after my 997 Turbo Inferno Aston Martin DB7 Vantage V12 - an exceptional GT car, the only car I shall miss for a long time. In ice blue, my wife almost killed me when I sold it. The other relevant cars I have driven: Aston Martin Vantage - a nice GT/Sports car combination, excellent handling but lacks at least 100Hp Ferrari Maranello 575 - a huge boat that lacks handling feeling. Aside from the look it is a disappointment. Ferrari F430 - a very nice beast, I would in fact buy one tomorrow if I could have an additional car in my garage. Pagani Zonda S7.3 - the most amazing drive of my life, all about sensations, emotions, with its unbelievable V12 AMG of over 620Hp. New Audi RS4 - excellent chassis but disappointing engine compared to the RS4 V6 Bi-Turbo. The car I want to drive: The new Ford GT which is the most stunning looking sports car in the world for me. Conclusion: In my view and for the price, there is nothing that comes close to my 997 Turbo Inferno today. This is a problem because I will have to keep it for the foreseeable future!!! 575 Hp - 840 Nm 0-62 mph in 3.3->3.5 sec 0-300km/h in 24->26 sec Depending on road and weather conditions, especially air temperature and humidity level. Cold and humid air significantly improves the performance. Check out the power / torque curves to the right. (before/after). This beast is quicker than a reasonably modified Porsche 996 GT2 on the track. But more importantly, it is much safer. Such an incredible car. Pagani Zonda and Ferrari Enzo owners drove my car a few week ago and they say it pushes as hard as either the Zonda 7.3S or the Enzo. The Carrera GT is left behind... Outstanding. I drove 10'000km with it since September and cannot get enough of it, even with the current winter tires, which I assume are not going to last too long. Cheers, "Dr. Eat My Exhaust" from Europe. Get the Valentine1 for good radar detection. |
