You might want to fact check your facts.

Velocity Channel had a special How It's Made Dream Cars: Porsche 911 running last night. It was pretty cool seeing how mechanized most of the assembly process is, until at 2 different parts of the I jumped out of my chair in shock. If anyone DVR'd it, watch/listen for the part where the engine block is in final assembly and right at the very end when they're describing the car:

"...With the perfect leather interior, advanced technology, and a powerful 3.4 liter V-6 engine, this car is one of the most captivating sports cars in the entire world."

Uh, yeah.

What? Everyone knows the growl of a porsche Fla- I mean V-6. Agricultural at low revs and a screamer at the top end.

Unfortunately, CNN has established a precedent of not fact checking.

They also said the Rolls Royce Phantom was a supercar.

I guess Luxobarge doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

It's totally possible to have a V-6 911. You just have to crash it really, really hard.

My DVR also has a mistake in the description, TWICE!

They spell it Porche, not Porsche

Welcome to 2013, where the History Channel shows daily marathons of Pawn Stars, and the Discovery channel now shows nothing but Amish Mafia.

At least the Science Channel is actually somewhat scientific.
