JFlowers Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 As a young man, I had a 69 GTO with an aftermarket Judge body kit and very built 400 with a Nash Custom Turbo transmission. I spent most of my weekends at Shuffletown Dragway in Charlotte, NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Don't really know which version of the Vette it was but it stated the porsche had 650hp.......I was surprised it did not pull away FASTER.....I believe the new Z06 would probably give it a run for its money even at only 500hp....the vette seemed to close the gap in the corners but lost it to the raw hp in the straights......LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF THE VETTE THOUGH....bet the inline 6 of the porsche cant match that!!!

blue edge Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 The porsche really had the HP!! BUT, It looked like the guy in the Vette was out for a Sunday drive!!! If he would get up on the wheel and DRIVE!! He would pass the porsche. Watch the steering wheel and listen to the front tires slide !! This car looks big time TIGHT ( under steer ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Porsche is a horizontally opposed six cylinder. It didn't look like an F car either! FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Wow, those Mustangs were pretty impressive Bwahaha...I started watching this vid and my husband came running in at warp 9 (he recognized the sound of the vette engine) and the first words out of his mouth were, "Ha, silly mousetangs."

kurtm Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Neither one looks like they are "really in it". The Vet guy is sawing the wheel and watching the Porch, it likes to "noze hop" through the turns, indicating braking by a somewhat hesitant driver. Both are WAY early slowing for the turns, and use way too much track when it gets tight. Looks like SCCA hot laping to me and notice the Vet driver doesn't have a fire suit or gloves when he does the good old hand gesture twards the fast disapearing Porsch. There is NOTHING wrong with that!! Looks WAY fun and god bless em for "runnen em", but to compair them based on this video...we can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwyn Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Chevy no contest... posrche is too small for us that are over 6 ft. It's an awesome motor though ..... for a skate board Actually I found the little boxster to be one of the most comfortable two seaters for me, most were not even an option. Vette is an awesome car, but I can sit more comfortable in the boxster. Mine is stock at 230hp, not a tire burner, but sure made some unhappy Vette owners at the local autocross. Sherwyn 6'4" and no I can't weigh on a 250 pound scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
