Had many 'vettes, no thanks. What's wrong with drag racing a 911 that can take it? AX's are boring and my car is terrible for those, I'll stick to road courses.

He doesn't drive your 911 there, isn't he?

Exactly.

Yep

It would be a monster on a track. Hope it has brakes to pull all that kinetic energy back out of the car after having it put in so fast!

In the 80s we used to take the road racing cars to the drag strip to get the data off the combination. ( And poke fun at the wrinkle wall guys...) Part of the fun was to see if you could get the car slowed down so you could make the first turn around. 
One team member had a Mazda R100 with an 11a that would run in the 9s all day. Porsche A brakes, less then 1200 pounds, and flames out the passenger door on down shifts. Stupid fun! |
HAHA, exactly.
