Shocked.

I know that Porsche 911 lost but goddamn I'm a sucker for those things

Not a car guy here, but I wouldn't have predicted the winner. Given the choice though, I'm still taking the Ferrari or Aston Martin

Hot damn that Tesla just blew the doors off everything.

The Tesla electric motor is a joke in a 1/4 mile. Now extend this to the nurburgring and it would be a lot more interesting

A friend took me for a ride in his new Porsche over the weekend. It's ridiculously fast. It's a turbocharged 911 with some kind of "sport/racing" package, but I'm not sure of the particulars. All I know is that it shits and gits. It looks like it's hauling arse just sitting in the garage.
As we took off one time, I made a crack that I'd like to know how many Gs we were pulling. He clicks an instrument cluster on the dash and meter appears, showing positive, negative and lateral G forces. Pretty fricking cool, but I'd probably get killed playing with the instruments.
Beautiful car and it goes like a scalded cat.

Yeah the electric motor is a behemoth for acceleration. Unfortunately it doesn't sound worth a shite.

Yeah all 911's are turboed now FYI.
Those G-meters are cool, lots of newer performance cars have that now days. Some even have front and rear cameras to record while racing.

Race to a 1/2 mile and the tesla would lose by bus lengths.

You get $1,000,000 0-60 times from a sub $100,000 car.

The P100D is around $150k...
Posted on 9/22/17 at 5:44 pm to Marco Esquandolas
The real stat is the 911TS coming in a hair under the Ferrari...and for 1/2 the price (around $190k).

Didnt have the balls to take on Nissans GTR

Nissans GTR
It's in the previous 2 races. Almost a whole second slower than the P100D
Posted on 9/22/17 at 5:46 pm to Placebeaux
It says in the description that it was in there. Nissan GTR Nismo
Posted on 9/22/17 at 5:48 pm to baseballmind1212
Are those cars getting better MPGs since they are traveling a quarter of a mile in a shorter time frame?
Posted on 9/22/17 at 5:48 pm to baseballmind1212
Impressive
The GTR usually owns the 1/4

True, but it doesn't have the cachet of the Ferrari either. That said, it's a great deal (relatively speaking) for what you get.
Not selling the Turbo S short, but people do not buy Ferraris and Lamborghinis for all out performance.
