The Case STX Steiger was a tractor line built by Case IH. This line continued the models built by Steiger Tractor, which was purchased by Case IH in 1986. The current model line is named Case IH Steiger.
The tractors were built in Case IH's plant in Fargo, North Dakota, from 2000-2008, where already 50,000 units [2] of this line were built as of September 2005.
This tractor line is powered by engines with 405 to 682 hp. They are available in wheeled, Quadtrac, and row-crop Rowtrac configurations, and are very closely related to the New Holland T9 range.
In 2005, the STX500 Quadtrac tractor set a new Ploughing World Record. The machine ploughed 321ha [2] in just 24 hours, led by Jean Imbert who drove the tractor.
In 2007, the STX530 Quadtrac tractor was featured on the television series Top Gear, [3] where presenter Richard Hammond chose the STX Steiger for some of the challenges, (eventually including ploughing.) It was lapped around the Top Gear Test Track by The Stig, finishing in a time of 4:49.1, [4] which is the slowest lap ever round the track. [5] In 2005 that model of tractor broke the 24-hour ploughing World Record, [6] turning 792 acres (321 ha) of farmland in just 24 hours. [7]

The Piper PA-24 Comanche is an American single-engine, low-wing, all-metal monoplane of semimonocoque construction with tricycle retractable landing gear and four or six seats. The Comanche was designed and built by Piper Aircraft and first flew on May 24, 1956. Together with the PA-30 and PA-39 Twin Comanches, it made up the core of Piper's lineup until 1972, when the production lines for both aircraft were destroyed in the 1972 Lock Haven flood.

Steiger is a tractor brand that is manufactured in the United States. The Steiger Tractor Company was founded in the 1950s by Douglass Steiger and Maurice Steiger, brothers who were farmers near Red Lake Falls, Minnesota.

The tractor brand was acquired by Case IH in 1986, who continued production of tractor models under the name Steiger.
The Porsche 911 GT2 is a high-performance, track-focused sports car built by the German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 1993 to 2009, and then since 2010 as the GT2 RS. It is based on the 911 Turbo, and uses a similar twin-turbocharged engine, but features numerous upgrades, including engine enhancements, larger brakes, and stiffer suspension calibration. The GT2 is significantly lighter than the Turbo due to its use of rear-wheel-drive instead of all-wheel-drive system and the reduction or removal of interior components. As a result, the GT2 is the most expensive and fastest model among the 911 lineup.
