930:

It's time for a classic automobile face-off!

We've got our hands on the Turbo 930, and it's taking on a from 1992!

So let's see how the 2 compare. Starting with the , it's powered by a 3.3-litre flat-six air-cooled engine that can produce 300hp and 430Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear-wheels only, and it suggestions the scales at 1,310 kg.

Then along with it we have the Viper. It's powered by an 8-litre V10 that can produce 400hp and 630Nm, with this power sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed handbook gearbox. It may have more power than the Viper, but it's likewise heavier, weighing in at 1,490 kg.

So will the newer, more powerful Viper snatch it? Or will the additional weight show decisive? There's just one method to discover … LET'S RACE!

And it is much more beautiful to look at (imo, but also not), as its actually got sexy lines unlike the boring lame Viper with “clean” simple lines lmao. Porsche actually looks interesting. We both know what brand made it and has the highest market cap 😉

    What stands out the most is how much more effort it takes to drive/race older cars than it does the new ones.

    Why not also give us the best time you got from each car? The Porsche’s first run may have been faster than the Viper’s third run. Especially as these are fragile classics and tricky to race.

    It’s awesome to see these iconic old cars being allowed out to play. Too often they end up as garage queens. I get the older they get, the more delicate and expensive to repair they get, so I very much appreciate videos like this.

    These were the exact times I achieved with my 84 930. It had adjustable boost and ran 13.2 at the track at .8 bar. With boost at 1.3 bar and 100 octane it ran 12.8. As an aside in high school I drove a 59 beetle with 36 hp. 0 to 60 was 30 seconds. I now drive a 2022 911 turbo s. 0 to 60 10.0 with cup 2rs on it. It is absolutely violent.
