As stated, orange Lambo missed 4th in the finals. It would have been closer, but I'm sure Bello had him covered on that run anyways. When the Lambo missed 4th, the Porsche was already ahead by a couple cars. It wouldn't have had enough mph difference to overcome the Porsche. At this event, the car that puts the power down sooner usually wins, even against cars that can run 10 mph faster.

Even if he didn't miss 4th he still would of gotten spanked by the looks of it .. And as for the ttg trap from what people say he started a good bit before the actual starting part .. But whatever...... Hey atleast Eddie races his own car .

True, I wonder if anyone has footage of his and Joel's (white tt viper) run.

I am just Glad to see roots type enthusiast that has been in the game before I can even remember (I remember his wheelies against Vinney Ten's Supra back in the late 90's with his Porsche when running 10's was a big thing!) come and show people what what can be done...... with a Porsche is even sweeter!
The reason I like people like Vinney Ten, Eddie etc, I find it represents common people that have a passion and love for fast cars or the true enthusiast that know how to make a car go fast that sometime writing a big cheque can't buy that! Many of these new high powered Porsche's are coming from enthusiast like that, that go against the mail order high $$ but make less HP game and they understand that Porsche is no different then a Corvette, Mustang or Supra in making it go fast!! They do not believe that exotics have a special magic to go fast that only big high dollar (no discredit against UG, being I have nothing but respect for their machines and hope to own one some day) Porsche specialist only know, but are not afraid to go past the cookie cutter bolt on's, preconceived "you can not do that" myths and save money and go faster!!
I am very happy for Eddie and want to say congrats!
Thanks

Awesome video
Finally a video with cars on level playing field.
Even cooler that the Porsche is almost 2 decades old.
That thing does a wheelie when it flies off. I would probably be pale as a ghost taking off in that.
Huge congrats on building an incredible machine.
Goes to show Porsche ages very nicely
