MAYBEN Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I guess I missed it, but how did the Porsche win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce5 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Something wrong with the numbers the Corvette won as far as I can see. It amazes me how expensive and fancy looking European sports cars are and then we beat their crap with much cheaper products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I thought the Vette won, but at the end of the video, it said the Porsche won.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Was a run that started when they tripped the lights... time only, not RT... so from the second the porsche crossed the line to when it crossed the finish was a little quicker than the vette, but the vette was sporting a passenger and that 997 has AWD so it was out of the hole much faster.

Bill-V8V Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd be happy with the 2 Z06's I could buy for the same price as the Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug123 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I assume that the only thing we are hearing is the Vette? That thing sounds mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texn884 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The Vette crossed the line first, I thought that is what counts, but becasue the euopeans can't realize that the Porsche is the same old body style that has been around for how many years??? Our cars get blasted becasue they don't update the styles and when you put them head to head like this the MADE IN AMERICA MUSCLE CAR KICKS THE stogie german cars they end up crying and saying we are faster and the clip shows the Vette crossed the finish line first, not the Porsche. Â The Vette WON & the Porsche LOST, I love it. America Wins Germany LOST!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm a Porsche fan... Totally different demographic. For the money, the Vette is a great car though. The Porsche just says something to me that the Vette never will... Â Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Whoa... wasn't trying to spark a debate or get anyone heated... just thought it was a cool video. Â Fact is the Porsche had 2 advantages, AWD and weight (lack of passenger) and this wasn't a drag race, it was a timed run... didn't matter if the porsche crossed the line 15 minutes after the vette... the contest was to see who could travel from point A to point B faster. The Porsche, with the advantages, still only managed to beat the vette by a split second. If you think about it this is a much more true measure of the machines as it removes the drivers reaction time out of the equation and shows how quickly the machine alone is capable of going a specified distance. Â Lets also take into account that the 997 has a price tag of around $160,000... run that same race with a ZR1 ($120k) instead of a Z06 and its a totally different story. Â Personally I'm a car fan of all kinds... the Germans build some insane rides and Porsches are amazing cars when you consider that the displacement on that 997 is only a turbo'd 4.0... thats CRAZY!! Â You can appreciate one car without hating the other... there are things that only a vette does, it has much more passion and soul to it than most porsches ever will, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate the sophistication, design, and precision engineering of something like a Porsche, or the sexy design and racing heritage of a Ferrari, or the bonkers luxury and power of an AMG Merc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'll take the Vette all day too. I love seeing races like the one posted. That's not to say Porsche doesn't make a nice car. Mario used to have one that I would rip your ears off for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
