Just for fun

Let's drag race a few new cars...Mustang GT500, Porsche turbo 911, and the new mid engined 'vette. A game where it's really "traction rules". Something to make everbody happy in this one.

Fun video, although you end up having to listen to the guys talk too much. The Edmunds guys don't really seem to have much chemistry or something.

Interesting and somewhat surprising results.

Sure it's a "turbo", But not a Turbo. Base Carerra which is pretty surprising.

What part of T-town? I grew up in Oregon, OH. Way too many friends worked at Jeep and DeVilbiss.

On topic, I did watch the three races. Impressive. Nice that the Corvette has traction now.

In real world driving the Mustang beats the piss out of the contenders but a rolling start Hellcat car would have been more better to include.

Currently living in Perrysburg, just a bit South of Toledo. I was living in your neck of the woods for a while while I was working at Kent State. I spent a few scenic summers on campus.....
