    I have my own thoughts on that video. Either way, a 911 turbo is not a drag car.

    what are your thoughts? The mustang is very fast...its no shame for that porsche to lose to that mustang...that car has run 10.2@141 with 15 psi of boost....he can run neck and neck with a gxr-1000 on the highway.

    A stage 4 911 turbo would not be in the 10s, so there is your reasoning. Then again, 911 turbos aren't made to run the drag strip. The gearing is not setup for it and the suspension/AWD layout is not, either.

    Twisties? No, they are made for real racing; road course racing.

    No. It would be in the low 11s and probably run in the high 120s, low 130s in terms of trap speed.
