Predictable outcome, just like Porsche designed them. And drag racing them would be fun, but a full track run is the only real measure.

Still, amazing that all of them are 11 second 1/4 mile cars.

Let The Stig drive each on a road course and let's see the numbers.

Yeah fairly pointless.

Too bad they didn't add a new 911 Turbo S to destroy them all, now those cars are freaking fast.

I third the comments on seeing the times around a track.

Or a Taycan Turbo.

It's the sort of knucklehead race any of them are most likely to experience so not entirely pointless but still not exactly amazing either. However, fwiw I thought the GT3's throttle responses when "sound checked" was pretty remarkable!

I enjoy a lot of the CarWow videos which are IME always just acceleration sometimes with braking as well. They often have interesting cars and some of the races are interesting.

In this particular case, not terribly interesting.
