- The 2022 Acura NSX Type S ($187,000 USD, ~$225,000 CAD) is looking to take on some serious competition for this drag race. It’s up against: the rocketship known as the Porsche 911 Turbo S ($223,230 USD, $260,500 CAD), the tried-and-true Nissan GTR Nismo Special Edition ($217,485 USD, $281,998 CAD), and the American mid-engine monster the C8 Corvette Z51 ($84,980 USD, ~$101,733 CAD). How will each of these cars fare during a dig and a roll? Thomas has hopped in the new NSX Type S and James has the C8 Corvette. Karston has his trusty GTR. Things don’t always go as planned during a drag race. Watch to see what happens! We hope you enjoy the episode! SUBSCRIBE!
Thank you to Joe
And thank you to @ACF.C8 for loaning us their Corvette for this race

#NSX #Porsche911 #DragRace
Porsche has mastered the art of putting as much of it's power down as possible as efficiently as possible with the Turbo S. Their drivetrain is an engineering marvel. No stock car with the same power can beat it.
Fr Porsche has perfected so many aspects of the car and the automobile industry doesn’t stand a chance in really any aspects.
it is my dream car that I would daily. the 992's are incredible.
@@GoofieNewfie For me its the 911 gt3 touring, but this is the 2nd best I think
570S can beat it.
@@MrCosmin94 The turbo s was faster than 720s, not shure if 570s can beat the porsche
Holy crap I honestly can’t believe this line up actually happened. Must be a legitimate dream come true for the throttle house crew to be driving amazing cars for a living. Thanks for the vids!
Meanwhile over at Carwow, F1 vs Chiron…every 911 vs every 911, all Aventadors together, SF90 vs Rimac…
@@iain8837 but Carwow is a company and Throttle House are just 2 friend that though we should make a car review channel on youtube
@@achintdhiman4807 Good point 👍
As a car enthusiast I loved this video, those are all really great cars in their respects...and as someone who has driven a GTR...it is something special.
Loved the look on Karston's face when he pulled ahead in the races.
yeah, this evil smirk! "too soon JUNIOR!!!" lol
Looked like takashi from Tokyo drift lol
I can't spell
Only the GT-R give you that emotion.
Hope they gave Carston a good talking-to for blatantly showing emotion like that!
GT-R may be outdated but it’s acceleration just shows how ahead of its time it was
Plaid fanboys are the modern day equivalent of GTR fanboys back when it first came out
But that giant, heavy, overpriced brick of a car’s time has passed, and it needs to be retired. Turbo S is a beast, and that’s without any kind of tune
@@993mike You freaking Porsche fangirl, why are you everywhere criticizing the R35 ? The GT-R a brick ? good joke ! That ''old'' car you are so salty about, have a better CD( 0.26) and is *more aerodynamic* than the overhyped 992 Turbo S yet it's a 15 year old car.. How shameful is that ? It just destroyed the new NSX and C8 easily and those are new cars, what's your point ? *On a track the Turbo S would get demolished by the Nismo all day long with facts.*
Stay mad.
@@993mike Look at you, comparing a brand new car to a old plateform. How did you feel when Nissan absolutely destroyed Porsche on the official FIA SGT World Ch. with the R35 very recently ? Even on the GT3 + GT500 class.
And It's not heavy compared to today supercars or cars in general. You act like 2.5T suv don't exist.
@@993mike Porsche fanboys are irritating 🤡
Like rias said, arround a circuit the 992 Turbo S is slow compared to the Nissan GT-R Nismo. Even the 2020 Nismo was faster than the 991.2 GT3RS on Tsukuba
The r35 is such a good car, still can’t believe it’s been 15 years so sad that they ended the production of one of my all time favorite cars
Gotta find some of us youtubers with an r35 to follow in it’s extinction!
The GT-R R36 is coming.
@@Raptile07 Nissan already admitted the r35 was their last gasoline high performance car. They also admitted they have no intentions or pattens on an r36 at this time. so while it may happen, it’s not happening any time soon: and def not this year
@@killersleeve382 The online artical from "insideevs" that I read is a week old.
I didn't mentioned any time limit or speak about a gasoline version.
@@Raptile07 I’ll have to read again. At the last Nissan event we attended at the track they said the “gtr” was done and the r36 would be a hybrid but it wouldn’t hold the gtr title
After 15 years. That GT-R still shows how ahead of its time it was
Yes after 15 years…That car is 10 years overdue for an update. I know it is fast it still needs an updated engine and chassis.
Nissan sports cars are like those Chrysler cars that were originally Mercedes that they have been selling for almost 20 years. The Challenger, Charger,and 300.
Building a new car can cost billions so I get why they don’t do a new one but they have to at some point…
It wont. That GTR is completely outdated nowadays. It was ahead of its time 10 years ago maybe. A car that can barely sustain its max output shouldnt even be sold. This car and all its mechanical parts were probably never designed for the amount of heat and forces it generates right now. Anyone can put big tires and ramp up the power to go faster. Hell, thats basically what Corvettes always do. But they all know their limits. Nissan seems to not. They should have never released the NISMO. Should have kept the standard GTR, improve the reliability and costs, and take on the sporty coupes of its class. The M4, the muscle races,... It does not belong in the super cars category. It just makes a fool of itself venting after one launch or a pair of laps.
@@josebrown5961 Well at some point they'll discontinue it so no point in trying to update or completely redesign now. To late in time to do it, the time we live in right now where electrification is near and gas prices rising, they will never make any type of money if they put alot of money into it because no one is in the market for that type of car anymore sadly... It would certainly be nice if they still do no doubt about that but just saying, the way the world is looking right now, I don't know.
Edit: they could do a refresh which certainly wouldn't be really that much to do but a whole redesign probably won't happen at all. 90% chance it won't.
@@AI-qd4vb I don't know how anybody is crazy enough to buy those old GTRs--clutch failure and you're out $18,000 for a replacement. It's insane that it costs that much and can't even take the abuse people like to do with them most--launch the shit out of them.
When it works.
Crazy to see how quick the GTR is considering it's been out forever.
A longest world benchmark car ever
@@kevinle5810 the McLaren F1 was the fastest car for like 15+ years iirc.
And remains the fastest naturally aspirated car to this day.
its not the same 480hp gtr u know right ?
@@MrCosmin94 still, it's still a very fast car, especially for such an old platform
@@S85B50Engine sure, but it's too rare, too high main, and so unreliable, it wasn't a world benchmark like the Veyron then the Gtr...
Btw, I still have the R&T magazine of its 1st launch too
Karston's smirk when he realizes he was in the lead on the first race is perfect.
In 50 years, it’s gonna be a drag and rolling race with a rocket ship, the Millenium falcon, the gtr and the 911 and still comparing its obliterating speeds to one another
Yup. This is a dream drag race.
No matter whether the GT-R is faster, slower, expensive or cheaper, everyone has a respect on that thing. Damn! it's 15 years old and still kicks some backs.
In fairness it makes a lot more power than the original r35 did!
Its the one I'd take, if i was in a completely different reality....... feelsbadman
It's had a number of upgrades over the years, but nonetheless it shows how ahead of its time Godzilla was, as had its predecessors.
For real , amazing car
All it needs is an upgraded fuel pump and some 1050idx injectors and E85..
Needs to be done again with the C8 Z06
the result would be the same the turbo s would win
@@Stevensalcido ha ha ! . . . .
i don't think so
@@shadwmoses8602 surely it will be, there is no faster (non-electric) car well probably the mclaren 765 lt, but obviously not the Corvette, the gt3 is quite slow in drag race even the base c8 could win but on track there is no comparison and with the gt3 rs the Corvette would not have a chance
@@Stevensalcido GT3rs excels in the turns, not the straights. Yes, its going to be quicker than the gt3, but not faster than the z06. Look at Hagerty's z06 drag race, it beats the GT3rs.
@@FuturesAnalytica hagerty's gt3 was base gt3 not the gt3 rs the gt3 rs wouldn't be faster than the z06 but would be closer just for the sake of having drs
The GTR achieved the impossible - it made Karston smile.
hes driven a gt r before
the truth is .. Shit-TR can only win if it has 300+HP more
@@davidjones5059 Stay salty. The GT-R IS the better car here. It easily destroyed the NSX Type S and the Corvette. Considering the NSX can also do a 2.6 to 0-60mph, it only prove how OP the GT-R still is. The overhyped Beetle crap Porsche have at least 70 more HP and is lighter yet the GT-R still did well. On a track the GT-R would demolish the Porsche like it was nothing.
@@SSJ4Absolute What kind of track? A downhill one??
@@SSJ4Absolute i wouldn’t go as far as to say the GT-R would demolish a porsche on the track, but definitely would give one a run for its money
I don’t have to watch the video till the end to know that the 911 will be the winner lol.
These cars aren't in the same league as it. Waste of time to have it there
@@matthew07shquad31 The Corvette is over $100k cheaper than the Porsche

Same here ; the Porsche, GTR, and NSX's advantages would evaporate !
@@dalelangley1604 except the porsche's advantage would stick with its awd system
For sure the Z06 would make it a lot closer, but the 911 is just ridiculous.
Why ?
@@dalelangley1604nah the 911 is still walking a z06. Porsches are just straight up ridiculous.
To think that the GT-R came out when I was 14!! and and am now almost 30, puts it into perspective how much of a beast the car really is..."Godzilla" is so fitting, cause it's been a nightmare for most cars, till this day..
911 has been around for decades
Exactly all this video proved was how ahead of it’s time the R35 is
@@joeluongo6079 it's amazing what an extra $100,000 can do 🙄 fact is "godzilla" gets spanked by an $80,000 Camaro on tracks around the world... JDM fanboys just haven't figured out JDM was dead 10 years ago, and the last think they have is "godzilla" which will likely disappear next year... boohoo
@@finish_my_projects I agree that the current gtr is overpriced. But it took America quite a while to catch up with the rest of the world in the performance car sector.
@@joma13344 no it didn't, they made excellent performance at literally a tiny fraction of the cost... cars you can actually OWN instead of looking at online... wtf do I care about things I'll likely never see much less own??
4:43 The Ašián guy smiling in the GTR as he inches on past the NSX is some real deal movie ish 🔥😂😂
The fact that you could shoot down to the shops and go race the next day with any one of these cars show how far we’ve come with design and practically
The 911 is O.P , but truthfully speaking that GTR is something else, it really did move the bar so far along back then, to think its main rivals are only beating it now is not something to scoff at . Classic.
100%! Took other brands decade to keep up or beat GTR’s performance and GTR still holds up.
It was good because it was prices in z06 territory and competed with zr1s. Now it's overpriced and slow
exactly well said!
Porsche Turbos have always beaten it.
Remember u can modify the nsx and it will be more bulletproof than the gtr. The Porsche is just amazing.
The GTR is a car you could keep forever. Such a timeless benchmark for a performance car.
Yeah .. that's why I'm keeping mine .. just update with race parts as it ages and she is bullet proof .. my "used" GTR will destroy the new 911 S and the 1000 HP Ferrari .. already seen on "carnow".
Too bad it still has the styling chops of a 2 Door maxima. Lame
@@coreyegan6751 Funny .. people that don't even know what the GTR is come up to me and say "wow .. very nice car what is it" .. what's lame is the haters and that's cool also .. the V Motion grill version is the GTR with maxima style shared and even then it's just a grill .. I'm glad they changed that ..
Yes but get smoked by gt500 sorry kid
Wow. It's not like I didn't know this, but the 911 Turbo S is an engineering marvel. Very impressive acceleration. And the GTR Nismo isn't a slouch performer by any stretch. The way the 911 Turbo S just handily pulls away from a dig or roll.... Extraordinary. Glad Porsche has engineered a lot of the older, satisfying flat 6 sound into the 911 Turbo S (instead of just the bland, air whooshing, blowtorch sound) is very pleasurable. That's great. And in conjunction with a beautiful color like Gentian blue, with a great level of standard equipment, and an ergonomic interior, that's a recipe for success by my standards. It's every bit worth the price---and I have owned Corvettes for the majority of my adult life... I'd say that's pretty high praise from a former Corvette owner.
Yes the 15 year old Japanese car is showing its age against Porsches best and latest efforts it only took them over 10 years to catch up 👍🏻
@@alanball2912 The turbo s has always been faster than the GT-R. 10 years ago the Turbo S was just slightly faster and now they arent comparable anymore. I remember the time when only 3 cars had a 0-100 time under 3 seconds. The Bugatti Veyron (2,5 s), the turbo s (2,8s) and the GT-R (2,9s).
Can't wait to revisit this race someday with the other upcoming C8's, Z06, E-Ray, ZR-1, Zora. The new gen GTR also.
Considering the stingray is down on power from them all seeing as the others are forced induction, let alone 120k to 200k less expensive, me too. But, I own a C8 lol and I'll put on a maggie ling for 35k installed to even the odds in my favor.
@@dallycurtis4532 The 670 HP Stingray is down on power?
They used the C8 base model.
@@TheBandit7613 Exactly why I called "IT" a "Stingray" which is 495 hp IF it has the z51 package. The Z06 is not a stingray, its a Z06...so yes, the stingray is down on power, not the Z06.

My first reaction when I saw the thumbnail, “Yeah, there’s no way any of these cars are beating the 911 Turbo S”
I worked at Porsche for 7 years. People can say what they want about the design, but their engineering is next to none. They have the premiere engineers in Germany. And it shows. The PDK transmission, the platform, the flat 6 design, the braking. It’s a complete street missile.
This just demonstrates how far ahead the gtr was when it first came out.
Truly yes.
@@Ra3yDatsun Way ahead. The 08-11 GTRs use to get a 0-60 , 3.2 , 3.3 seconds with proper tires.
@@adrianniemiec8669 No gentlemen. The GTR ( ugliest sounding, overweight pig but…….I do love them.) was defeated on the track by a Camaro. It is good no doubt. It is just an obese pig. No amount of “technology” can overcome its refrigerator DNA.
It doesn’t have the same amount of hp now as when she came out in 2009. It was 480hp before and not 600hp
@@reaz3rleg3nd61 It was not 2009 When it was taken down by a Camaro. It was the 7.0 Z28. No shame. The Z28 was a monster.
the NSX still did extremely well it was nice seeing just how capable it is considering how many ppl always disregard it I'm surprised more ppl aren't talking about it
That nsx is underrated. Put it on a track and watch how it handle corners 😏
I love the NSX but it seems like the Type S is no faster than the normal NSX despite being more powerful
@@drivescene6747 it's definitely faster around corners. That's a fact! I didn't expect much difference in a straight line.
@@drivescene6747 right. I thought it was going to have that getaway speed but its still fast but not fast enough
Why do you believe that…have you seen them race against each other? Truth is the Type-S is quicker due to extra power and added tuning. However, a stock Type S will lose against the first iteration of a Gen 2 car modded with the JB4 tune module and performance exhaust, all from “Science of Speed” Co. The mods with race gas add ~ 100+ hp for a net of 700 hp for a verified 2.6 to 60.
2:18, I love how the GTR driver looked over and smirked 😏 🤣
I'd like to see this race with the c8 Zo6, I think it would have a chance.
Probably would destroy the GTR and NSX tbh.

New vs old gtr comparison would be interesting. I’d like to see how much it changed since the r35 was first launched.

It has improved very little
@@miguelberetta7887 ehhh improved a bunch i would imagine. lighter....better brakes.... etc etc the 0-60 form 3.5sec to 2.7 from just a tire change....
@@amatureskater15 look at the lap times, the nismo has actually been getting slower. It is also one of the slowest cars at its price point
@@miguelberetta7887 Well it got a lot more expensive in the last gen. So that's Nissan's fault. And I was wrong. It got heavier in the last gen as well. But it did gain power and such.
According to my quick research. They tried to improve the quality of matierialas used for the interior. Added too the weight
They had a commercial out, years ago... the tag line was "it may be a couple of decades between you getting bit by the bug and you actually purchasing one..." had a kid daydreaming about it and he went in to the dealership to see a new one....
It may end up being 4 or 5 decades with that, for me.... BUT I WILL HAVE ONE.

GTR pricing is like they will only sell you one if your a fanboi with a trust fund . Who spends that money and doesnt get the porsche which isnt just a better drag car but not a fat old pig they put a bunch of lipstick on and better in everyway . You have to forget math ,and rub sand in your eyes to buy the GTR when the 911T which also has a reputation of being not finicky and designed for a million launch control holeshots in a row without breaking . I cant grasp who buys these or why .
Can we just appreciate how good the GTR performed after over 1 decade of production
If only the price didn't go up so much. The GTR used to be a value supercar killer but now it doesn't have that edge anymore.

U would need lots of weight reduction and way more power to even come close to 911 turbo s speed... Oh but GTR is a track car !! u might say... thre is a bunch of way cheaper cars that obliterates nismo on a track... that cost 100k less lol
Yes 10 years ago GTR was a GOD tier car. I was a fanboy myself. I will always prefer R32/33/34 over R35 anyway. But R35 had its run. It was a great car when it released in 2010. But in last decade things have changed. DRASTICALLY CHANGED. Now a freaking 5000 pund family saloon car launch u in to space and do quarter mile in 9 seconds... times has changed, but GTR left the same.
This episode was a real treat! Love the cars! The Porsche is in another universe of speed! 🏎️
This was just insane! The gap is just too much wow! Thanks guys!
this drag series is always a good watch - especially with cars like these 4! i only wish carston got a chance to jump in the conversation though
Dang!!! Godzilla is 15 years old and it still sits at the top of Japanese Supercars!!! Got to give credit to that. I can't wait for the next gen GT-R. They will update the R-35 though but it is still an R-35 and I think it is times up for the R-35 long live to this legendary car.
I'd love to see this with a Z06. Still, that's a lot of really, really cool cars. Duh.

Hypercars are exclusive to being expensive and rare, neither of which fits the "budget" car that you can walk to any porsche store and see 3

@@skylerhickman3646 pricewise, where is the beginning for a hypercar?
GTR is the only 15 year old car I can think of that has looked and driven the exact same for all 15 of those years and somehow NOT depreciated. Even for a 2009 model (which is significantly slower) people want their weight in platinum for them. This video is a perfect explanation of why. 15 years of the exact same thing and it can still beat pretty much everything. What an awesome car.
but losing on the other hand, it's easy to make power, but if asked to reduce the engine and increase efficiency, that's a pretty tough challenge. decades thinking about it...

So because it's a Nissan what should the GTR Nismo cost ? $50,000 ? ... because that puts it in line with a Challenger Scat Pack, Camaro SS, Subaru WRX, Audi TT, BMW 430i .... and none of those can hold a candle to it.
You have to at some point use common sense and realize that it isn't even a straight line car, it's a TRACK CAR. It completes the Nürburgring in 7:08 * look up lap times and compare it to the "giants" * so get real, it's way UNDER priced if your using it for what it's designed for, look up those lap times and compare ... it's still killing giants, never stopped 😉
If you consider price, nothing beats a Porsche.. best bang for buck hands down
there’s a reason the GT-R has the “supercar killer” reputation
edit: that being said the turbo s is just in a whole other realm of speed, acceleration and handling.
it doesn't even deserve that title anymore with how expensive it is now. the point of that name was to show that a cheap car could beat the big guys. that's what the Corvette does now
@@burgerenjoyer2982 This is true but at the same time it is understandable. To be able to beat these current supercars they have to spend a lot more money on research and quality parts. Even then the GTR is still one of, if not the quickest car you'll get for around $80k. Baring in mind it does still beat supercars in the 100k-200k mark
@@burgerenjoyer2982 yeah that’s the downside. demand went up a lot because of influencers and aftermarket parts could make this car unbeatable (albeit not for long unless care is taken).
part of its original reputation was that it was an order of magnitude cheaper than supercars of the day and still kept up with, if not outperformed 6 figure rides
@@SubieFrancis well nowadays the new ones run for 240 grand. Feels like we're slowly losing the cheapies. Hoping the Corvette stays true to it. I'm sure it can't be easy to do what those cars did, but i hope they keep it up. I have high hopes for Acura too. (I'm a huge Corvette fan tho. Can't WAIT to see the Z06 C8 track time)
@@SubieFrancis most used GTR’s are beat badly. Looked for a couple years and gave up. Ended up buying an RS3. Will mod it to run low 9’s. Save a ton of money.
Remember when the standard GT-R could lap the Nurburgring faster than a 911 Turbo?
That was ever so long ago.
not for gt3
@C. Fecteau-AU-MJ13 Indeed GTR is the fastest back then.
The one where they cheated with ECU tuning and custom suspension setup? The one where Porsche took a stock car and was 25 seconds slower? GT-R is an overpriced, fragile turd.
@@Ficon fragile? Then why can you buy a 10 year old gtr with 80,000 miles that still works well? Most euro cars would need thousands of dollars of work at that mileage. Dudes just be hating anything
@@andrewhorte2010 Did you watch the video? Three attempts to launch, hot clutch warning on the first attempt. Remember how Nissan was voiding warranties for using factory launch control? If you are going to spend Porsche money, get a properly engineered car, not something from the King of CVTs that had to resort to cheating to beat the 911 on the Nurburgring.
The GTR R35 is an all time great car!
hey dudes! Been watching for a year or two now! Love this stuff, and I have to say you played a huge role in my interest in cars! Along with OG top gear! Thank you!
I loved watching how much you guys enjoyed driving the cars,.. Looked like A LOT of fun.. Cheers.
Man!!! That 911 Turbo S is the ultimate super car! Oh, I just realized it has 640HP. More HP and light weight helped.. I still can't believe that Godzilla still beat the Acura NSX Type S! I'll still take the NSX Type S any day..Great races! The NSX was a little heavier than the GTR. That's why the GTR won I believe..I knew the Corvette would lose...so, two JDM cars run next to the fastest 911 Turbo S super car...I'm cool with that..
640hp? That thing can beat modded cars with twice more horsepower
With all that Tech the NSX should of whooped the GTR and it lost. Couldn’t even beat of the line with its electric motors
@@D1man1525 Im with you on that note..it should have definitely beat the GTR.😎
911 Issa sports car 🤣🤣😂😂
@@0163844098 but the thing is, modded 911 is not that much faster than when stock, I've seen many drag races of those, so I know what I'm saying.
Why does no one appreciate the NSX? It gets overlooked by the GTR everyday even though the NSX is by far the better car. I'd take one over the severely outdated GTR any day
Story by owners is the steering feel. Take it for what it’s worth.
Which one has a targa roof that comes off out of these super cars?
Stop being salty, the NSX got destroyed by the GT-R as as always.
NSX 2nd gen is one of the biggest failures
@@SSJ4Absolute the nsx interior is better than the gtr, but the gtr exterior and performance is better
2 of those for sure aren’t ‘blurring any lines’..
The Turbo S has some different sauce
That GT-R still got it WOW
Porsche : - Turbo S
641 HP
590 lb ft
1610 kg
Nissan : - GTR Nismo
600 HP
481 lb ft
1754 kg
Turbo S has more power & torque as well as less weight.
GTR Nismo has less power & torque also heavier.
So, both are great m/c no doubt about it.
German & Japanese brilliance
Excellent Masterpieces

Ill still take that beautiful NSX!
😎👍🏿
That GTR will always be my favorite
The GT-R is a masterpiece of engineering even all these years later………hopefully Nissan comes out with a new one soon after the 400z launch🙏🏻
Typical Nissan Jock sniffer, They, like every other manufacturer have been playing catch up to 911's since 63'
As far as i know the GT-R has been announced as discontinued due to the new regulations on emissions,there won't be any GT-R
@@silversurfer3636 Yeah but basically Porsche was chasing the gtr for 15 years and it only took three generations of 911s to beat it, and well Nissan dominated the 911 since the gtr r32 existed
EXACTLY how I knew it would pan out. 911 turbo S is a pure 🚀🚀🚀
I drive my Turbo S 992 to work every day even in the rain... crushes everything in its path
The GTR has had it's share of updates but overall its still largely unchanged and it still kicks a$$.. good job to the C8 though for hanging in there (kinda)
It does have less horse power and it is almost heavier then the other cars,due to the fact it has all the options so that includes the ride height which adds a lot of weight
I would still want the NSX I just like the look and interior the most, In real life drag racing other supercars doesn't really come up during your daily driving!!
You can daily drive a Turbo so 🙇🏾♂️
There's plenty of potential with the TTV6 too.
American made nsx
@@dino2120dino2120 @@dino2120dino2120 That's the problem. I want it to be my first choice out of this group, but only would if it was still made in Japan. I'm from Ohio where it's was developed and assembled, and I dont have faith that is made to nearly the same level of rigorous quality control and craftsmanship as it would in Japan.
@@bhyphen8234 💯 percent!
Its unreal seeing the GTR walk from the NSX and the 911 just making the GTR look like nothing. That car is simply out of this world.
Great video! That GTR Nismo is still my dream car!!! That Porsche is a weapon! The two slower cars The NSX and Vette are down right sexy though!
The 911 is just in a class of its own. But sheesh, I wasn’t expecting the GTR to get smoked that bad 😭
That frog (911) got outta there
Bruh it was like 2 car lengths at best???
I'd still take the gtr over that porsche
Having a ton of experience in all of them, except NSX, I would take Turbo S. It’s engineering is beyond spectacular. It’s build quality is best in car industry. It’s performance is mind blowing. It’s also a sleeper out of the bunch.
GTR’s are cool when they were 100k, but at 200k, it’s a huge hard pass now. I’d rather an R8 and out twin turbos on it. Super easy and it will run 7’s street driven.
Turbo s will run 7’s with bigger turbos. Even pull wheelies.
GTR’s are very heavy and very expensive to modify. They also tend to break. Ask any owner. This is why buying a used one is almost impossible to find one that is flawless.
Take that GTR over the 911 anyday
The Porsche 911 Turbo S will always be the sleeper supercar. If it were a 4 car drag race, the 911 Turbo S would thrashed all of them.
What’s sleeper about it? Everyone expects it to win on sight.
765LT joined the chat :)
@@S8ER "Sleeper" (IMO) in that it looks like a melted VW Beetle and has been that way since it was created. It's not a sleek wedge like the C8/NSX(/Aventador/R8/etc) so it doesn't "look" as fast. It nearly blends in at a supermarket parking lot. (and it's still the one I want the most out of all of these, though my Honda fanboyism would jump at owning an NSX)
U guys are all saying the same thing if uk cars everyone knows about the 911 😂😂
@@LJ-wo1wf I think the Turbo S stands out easily even in the Harris Teeter parking lot full of other Porsches. 🤷 no chance I would ever try one thinking it’s a run of the mill Porsche.
The Turbo S won, wow, shocked! 😂😲But the GTR is still a problem for it's age, the new one is going to be a serious problem.
Gt-R got discontinued… don’t worry 😉
@@DiaperSNiFFER hol up, you telling me there won't be an R-36?
The sad truth is, if we ever see another GTR, I'm betting it might be an electric crossover
@@dannythedominican6998 not for a while. The next GTR will be a hybrid for sure.
What are you babbling on about? "for it's age" This model of the GTR was released mid 2021...
These races have nothing to do with age. It's literally just the fastest current spec of these cars. GTR came out end of 2007 and the NISMO end of 2015. None of that has anything to do with this race we saw today....
911 range has been going longer, so do we get to say "ooHhhoHHh, thAt PorSCHe dID wELl foR it'S aGe!!"
Muppet
A few years ago I worked with Nissan EU and they let me borrow a GTR for a trip down to the French Alps…what a lovely few days that was!
Would really like to see a track day review for the 2021 Nismo GTR and potentially the other three. Nismo has some significant improvements for on the track interested to see some laptimes
That Turbo S sound on Fly-By is amazing! Easily best sounding car there, as someone who drove one also, I will say sounds alot better in person!
The Turbo S sounds great while driving, but is put to shame by the GT3 at 9000rpm.
@@jayr2537 it used to be bad compared to GT3 but 992 Turbo S or 991.2 GT2RS are underrated in sound, infact in case of GT2RS I prefer it's sound to GT3.....
The reason they sound bad in videos cause their sound have very low frequency that recorders can't pick it up like normal phones..... You get heavy bass sound in idle, you get turbo whistles at low speeds, and you get Flat 6 sound at high revs.... They have lots of character that videos don't do them justice...
GT2RS had one of loudest sounds at idle tbh, If I was outside I prefer to lsn to GT3, if I was driver I prefer GT2RS... Now one car I'm confident will be top of my best sounding cars list from inside is GT4RS, I can't wait to drive it
@@TRX25EX Porsche held the Cayman back for years! It's always been the better platform, especially in handling.
This is now the new head 2 head
Let's admit, we didn't watch this video to find out which car won. We watched to find out how much the Turbo S won by
of course. They didn't use the 670 hp Corvette.
@@TheBandit7613 even if they used the Z06, it wouldn't even see which way the Turbo S went
@@c9lion207 Could be. But when doing a comparison, I would NEVER run a base model unless the rest were all base models.
Completely useless comparison.
@@TheBandit7613 fair enough
Even the previous gen 911 turbo beats the ZR1. 580hp 911 beats a lighter 720hp ZR1. GM is pathetic and will always be propped up by GM fanboys.
Still proud of nsx type s such a great fast car 💕
Dropped the ball on this one lol. Should of waited for the Z06. Base c8 is like 495 Hp..
Goes to show just how far ahead the GTR really was.
I really hope the new one comes back to reclaim the title.
@@AnitaHanjaaab If they even make it. Sales on this one are extremely poor. Not selling at all.
@@ryanb8736 it’s because they’ve been selling the same car for about 10 years now. It’s an old base. If they do a complete remodel with more power and features it will sell. Nobody wants to buy a 10 year old car for 100,000.
This is the drag race that we are waiting for yes finally
That’s what happens when you’re from Canadia 😂😂😂
Great video! I see these type of videos pop up all the time and what the other videos fail to do that this video does well is that it calls out the price differences in the cars and what models of each car are being compared. I'd love to see this video again when the Z06 and Zora Corvette versions are on the market. Great job again!
I just thought of maybe having a brake test at the end of these drag races. In this configuration the results might be not that different but in some others it would be really interesting to see the braking performance ahhhem Tesla Plaid ;)
This isn’t Carwow 😂😂😂
So then…. What exactly happened?
That turbo s is an absolute beast! 💯
For the extra 2.5% spend you'd have to be insane to not get a Turbo S over a GTR
Wow I did not realize the prices were so similar. 100% agree.
Turbo S is slightly cheaper in USD. And I double checked to make sure it wasn't missing anything important on the standard configuration.
If all you care about is straighline speed yeah, but if you're gonna track the car there is still a very strong argument for the gtr
@@Pk1998AMG yeah, I know the GTR does all the driving for you, but I think any skilled driver will get better lap times out of the 911. Plus the GTR weighs about 100 kilos more... It's just... For me personally it's an order of magnitude less desirable than the Porsche.
@@Pk1998AMG lol, you have no idea what are you talking about
Do I really need to watch this video? Turbo S smokes all of them easy. lol
Agreed! Im hoping to see the Z06 and hopefullyt ZR1 versions of the C8! Gonna be fun to watch
7:40🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Shifting up looks early..
It's mind boggling how fast the 911 is, and then to think the Model S Plaid left it in the dust heads up... Wild stuff
Until it has to turn a corner lol
@@elanjacobs1 😂 😂 😂, thats the problem with these fast EV's
@@sillimilli3802 The bigger problem is that they don't beef up the brakes to handle the insane speed. Going fast doesn't help if your brake fluid is cooked after 2 or 3 runs
But still crazy to see a Plaid trash the 911 in a drag race. Even a Plaid Model X trashes a tuned 992 911 (see dragtimes).
Give Elon another year or so.
I had the pleasure of driving the 992 Turbo S and Taycan Turbo S at the Porsche Experience in ATL. Even on a wet day when i did launch control both cars were able to put the power down well. Porsche Engineering is 2nd to none
In the end, we all won. 🔥 the 911 had my adrenaline pumping and I'm just sitting in a recliner 🤣
The GTR offers solid performance in a straight-line for its age still, though I also agree it's a bit overpriced all things considered.
Congrats on almost 2 million subscribers btw!
GTR is the freaking Chariots of the gods
Put the nsx on a track with turns and watch how that super handling kick in
Lmao that Porsche would run rings around the NSX on track.
@@ryanturnerboles it would run rings around damn near every car.
When you guys get your hands on the Z06 , I think a rematch called for. Using the base model Corvette against those 2 top of the line rockets.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 ON 2 MILLION!!!
