DIAZ87 posted how the porsche which ran 11.60 destroys the VETTE i hope he see's this video.
lol
No matter what car you like or not this is impressive on stock radials with bigger sized rims. Not like he's running an auto on 15x12 rims with 29.5 m/t slicks and a th400. Just to show the technology has came a long way. N/A v6's making 300 plus hp and 30 mpg. Seeing factory cars making 600+ hp. It's crazy.

Dan you are so correct, it also shows the difference a good driver makes with a stick car from (11.80 to 10.70). Almost a full second difference.

Ranger gettin' it done again! He's the guy that went 11's on a bone stock C5 Z06. Granted, where he races is like -1500ft DA.
How could a 11.8 sec Porsche beat a ZR1? Link?

Put a novice driver in a manual trans rear wheel drive car on 20 inch street tires and he will overwhelm the tires on the launch every time. Put an experienced guy in that same car and it's on. Not just a slushbox with a stab and steer on slicks. AWD turbo Porsche is going to be hard to beat unless you're on top of your game.

Heres the link everyones clamoring about YouTube - Drag Race! Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs Porsche 911 Turbo
Bingo. I'd venture to say that 90% of the guys with a stock ZR1 can't drive like the "Lone Ranger", so unless they get plenty of seat time they better be careful against the AWD Turbo Porsche.

Stop light to stop light or 1/4 mile it gets spanked. 3 1/2 car lengths is quite a bit.

GNBRETT i hope you saw how bad the vette driver came out of the hole, now go back and see the video (10.70- 133mph) what a difference a good driver makes. I have seen 9 sec cars lose to an 11sec car but in the right hands it's a totally different story. Don't blame the car, its the man behind the wheel.

The Vette does not have a engine over its rear tires to get the same type of traction, but a drag radial is all that is needed change the outcome of that race with no other mods to the drivetrain hands down, even if both cars ran drag radials.

I fail to see how the Vette only trapped 125 in one video then 133 in the next. I'm sure the et can vary with drivers, but 8 MPH is a major difference. I think the quarter mile test should be redone. No drag radials, just better
drivers. I think the vette would win.
