Didn't expect that either! But after watching that vid I didn't care... I'd rub my wiener all over both of those cars in private! So nice!

That really surprised me. I'm almost inclined to say that the Porsche isn't making 800whp but I don't have dyno sheets in front of me. Just something to think about.

Was definitely not expecting that! Figured the Porsche would take that one. Nice runs!

My buddy before he went twin turbo, he had a kenne bell 2.8 mammoth kit, cams, stock bottom end with a 4r70w automatic transmission. car made 740rwhp. He ran a built tt Porsche from a roll and won. The other car was making more than my friends cobra and that Porsche was no joke. Its a well known car. so I am not totally surprised at this race. just a reference if anyone is curious

God damn!
That Terminator is representing!

Is the Porsche all wheel drive and maybe that is eating up some of the HP?
I would think if both cars had the same HP the Porsche would be lighter and therefore quicker?

Don't know, don't care...... I just liked seeing something I didn't expect in the daylight from multiple angles.

I call bullshit...Someone is lying about their horsepower... With the weight difference the wrong car won or is a dweeb of a driver.

That must have been a crappily built porsche if it lost and it made more power. Porsches have as many advantages over a Cobra than a GT-R has plus they are lighter than Cobras from the factory. Even the 6 speeds still have a weight, gearing and aero advantage.

Torque makes a hell of a difference in a race... Just cause the Porsche makes more horse power doesn't make it faster.

Torque doesn't make a race either. I've seen cars making similar power to cars with less torque lose by a lot, especially if one car weighs less. And if the Porsche was PDK than the the numbers are definitely false.
