Corvette v Porsche, USA v Germany: DRAG RACE

It's time for a rear-wheel drive America vs Germany showdown!

We have actually got Mat in the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, and he's going head-to-head against Yianni in the Porsche 911 GT3! So let's see how these two superstars compare.

Beginning with the Z06, it's powered by a 5.5-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that produces 646hp and 595Nm of torque. Power is sent out to the rear wheels just by means of an 8-speed dual-clutch automated transmission, and the automobile weighs in at 1,714 kg. The Z06 starts from ₤ 183,000, however due to this one having the Z07 Track Load added to it, the cost is an eye-watering ₤ 209,000!

Then we come to the Porsche. It's powered by a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six, and this creates 510hp and 450Nm. Power is sent out to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it weighs in at 1,479 kg. New, the GT3 expenses ₤ 158,000, but this car with options added is available in at ₤ 173,000.

So the Z06 may have much more power, however not only is the Porsche lighter, but they're renowned for being lightning fast off the line! Will that prove enough to snatch the win? There's only one method to discover for sure … LET'S RACE!

      This video is a total shambles. It’s edited badly and the cars seem to change position in each clip. You need to do better 🤦‍♂️ the first drag race had the vette passing the 911 then it ends up a car length behind. Do we have a narrative here or just just straight up competitive races? 🤔

    For those who are confused as to why the C8 has the corner exit exhaust and has less power, this is the European spec meaning that it’s built for the European market. Due Europe’s stricter emission laws GM has to add additional filters and use the corner exit exhaust in order to meet regulations. This causes it to have less horsepower 636 compared to 670 for the American spec.

    Corvette winning the standing race and Porsche winning the rolling one are the exact opposite of what I expected.

    1. @aaronvector4750 Avatar
      @aaronvector4750

      It’s exactly what I expected. Corvette is now the king of RWD launches since they moved to mid engined. The Z06’s 646hp is cool and all but it’s restricted heavily by UK regulations. Even so, it’s much wider and genuinely a bigger car with more sharp lines and corners in it’s design so it’s got a lot more air resistence than the Porsche to battle with. The Long gearing doesn’t help either. In reality they’re evenly matched in a straight line, but the Corvette wins on track. The vette actually goes after the GT3 RS on some tracks too.
