I was honestly shocked how fast that little Porsche was once it made boost! I thought the Viper would win with ease. Porsche has always punched way above its weight! The 911 Turbo S has always been one of my favorite cars but I never knew how cool the 930 is. Luna did pretty damn good with managing that Viper too, so props to her!
@szybkilewyprostyf2316 ай бұрын
Myślę że jest to związane nie z czystą mocą ale z filozofią jednego i drugiego auta. 911 ma silnik z tyłu i napęd na tył. Masa dociska tylną oś plus brak wału zmniejsza stratę mocy prawie do zera. Z kolei Viper ma więcej mocy ale sinik ma z przodu napęd na lekki tył plus wał. Co powoduje że trudniej jest przenieść ta moc na koła a potem drogę. I są straty mocy na walę. Stawiałem tez na Viper jednak V8 500hp 8.0L vs flat 6 3.3l T. Zakładam że Viper nie ma dedykowanej skrzyni biegów co powoduje że nie działo to tak jakby mogło.

There's something undeniably magnetic about the raw, unfiltered experience of driving older cars. It's not just about speed or technology; it's the skill, the connection between driver and machine, the dance of clutch and gear that makes every successful run a triumph. These cars aren't just vehicles; they're time machines taking us back to an era where driving was an art, not just a task. Plus, seeing them in action, especially in races, is like watching history come alive. So, here's to the old-school cool - the rumble of engines, the smell of gasoline, and the thrill of manual mastery. Who else agrees that this is what car culture is all about? 🏎🔥 #OldSchoolCool #ManualMastery #CarCulture

930 turbo with a 4 speed. Rev engine 2,500 rpm , dump clutch burn rubber 3 feet, hook up, count one one thousand two one thousand then boost appears. Shift the rubber shifter at red line to the wide spread 2 nd gear. Motor goes flat, no boost, repeat 2 second count, boost arrives. Repeat for 3 rd gear & 4th. Oh, and make sure the wheels oh and make sure wheels are pointed straight ahead when boost comes or bad things might happen. The 5 speed I. 1989 changed this car from slow to go. 911 SC cams for go. And if you find yourself going too fast thru a corner, do not back off the throttle and never ever consider touching the brake pedal. Your right foot is the traction control and abs and your hands are the PDCC and PSM. And it has an extra pedal.

I love the Rosary on Porsche's rearview mirror

I think the one area the viper could have been made to look better, is to have a less plastic looking dashboard design. Love the outside finish though 👍

I love the old cars shot outs. I have a lightly modded (380ish crank hp) 92 Twin Turbo Stealth weekend car, an APR tuned 2020 SQ7, and a stock 2019 C43 and driving them fast is night and day. The Stealth is raw and just fun to drive fast especially when you get into the boost. The C class is a little faster and in the case of the SQ7 with the APR tune, ridiculously faster but there are no stakes. You just point the steering wheel and press the go pedal with those, which is comparatively boring even though they are faster. Rowing your own gears, all the sounds, no annoying overly protective safety systems, and just the low to the ground fighter pilot cockpit is just fun and makes me smile every time. And the ridiculously tall gearing in a lot of the 90s cars is a blast. 2nd in the Stealth will run around 85 mph so there are just these long, push you back in the seat pulls you don't get with modern 8 speeds.

The Viper was the world's fastest car in the popular car endurance race. It couldn't even come close to Porsche, Mercedes, Toyota, Ford, etc. FIA GT2 1997 1998

Best year/s for Porsche. Love the hair dryers. Beautiful car. As for the Viper, nice car but not my favorite as the GTS Viper is my favorite for sure.

2nd gear can't be too short in the Viper for a 50mph. Didn't Matt show in a earlier video that the Viper would do 58 or 60mph in 1st gear!!!
