They take it to the twisties afterward? 100-0? Top speed? Comfort?

Good kill, always up for that.. But the vid say 20k VS 440k like it accomplished something by beating it in a straight line at a drag strip?

In that case, well deserved! Nice *** kicking!

You don't take a stock car (regardless exotic or not) to a drag strip and talk **** to purpose built cars.

The goat accomplished the only thing that matters at a drag strip. Also, do you really believe the carrera gt offers more comfort than the gto?

That GTO has been modded to make it faster and I'm sure some sacrifices in comfort were made. However, the Carrera GT comes with many of its own sacrifices from the factory in the name of performance (i.e. on/off switch clutch, stiff ride, low ride height, lack of cargo space, etc).

Lets see a 70-150 highway style pull or a 1 mile pull... I bet the GT wins then.... but in a 1/4 mile that is still a hell of a kill......those porches arn't built for the 1/4...they are built for the twistys as somone above posted.

It's called drag racing and they were both at a drag racing track and yes the GTO handed the Carrera GT his ***. They were not in a Fast and Furious movie, unfortunately for you. For comfort you are not going to beat a GTO either. Now go back and watch you copy of Broke Back Mountain and sip on some tea.

I love the ricer comments, like yours. If they aren't built for the 1/4 mile what's it doing at a 1/4 mile track? Besides getting bitch slapped?

Did you read past the first two posts or are you the typical butt hurt GTO owner, you sure do sound like it.

I hate racing from a roll and what not, my comment at he time was VERY valid for the reasoning behind it. In this situation the Porsche owner got exactly what he deserved.

But, with the obvious comprehension skills you have, you knew that and was joking with that post.

Nice run.

And maybe carrera GT owners should just stick to the twisties and stop races instead of getting embarrassed at the drags?

It seems it would make everyone happy. Since the people who have a poster of that car on their wall are getting so butt hurt about it.
