This Porsche 911 is Not Monkeying Around



The following clip shows a monstrously powerful Porsche 911 (996) known as King Kong.

Linky no worky

This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

 

I guess you saw 1320's video on Kongs car........

 

Just cant get into the roll racing= but interesting.

 

It helps eliminate poor launch and driver error. It's a more accurate display of car Vs car.

 

I just can not get into straight line racing at all, So boring and pointless to me unless it is a dedicated purpose built top fuel dragster.

 

I like all four (auto cross, road course, drag and roll racing) and any other wheeled sport/activity. No prejudice here. As long as the group is fun, the activity is fun.

 

LOL, it eliminates the actual driving skill required to have all that power..
But I like watching and going to these events...

flame on

 

Money money money , if you are willing to spend it you can have a faster better car.

 

The same thing can be said about Roadcourse racing, sure you have to shift more then why isn't everyone driving a Jalopy if it REALLY only about driving talent.

Some of the prices the track guys pay for crazy suspension setups its insane.

If it wasn't about the money for the track no one would buy a GT3RS.........


And YES more money you spend on Roadcourse racing, the easier it is to go faster........

 

Amen

 

You're not really suggesting that you can just buy your way to a faster lap time like you can buy your way to a faster E.T. are you?
Sure, a better set up car will go faster around a track with a skilled driver (and that's why everyone doesn't drive a jalopy) but if a novice road course driver just dumps money into suspension and power they are more likely to end up with a wrecked car than a faster time unless they spend time learning how to drive. There are so many variables involved in squeezing every second out of a lap it can make your head spin.
Going in a straight line it's basically about power and how well you can modulate your clutch. Roll racing makes it pretty much about power only.
I like all kinds of racing too but there is infinitely more skill involved with road racing.

 

I'll say it. I've done both. A better setup, with the same driver, will lead to a better time on any course, whether road course, auto cross, drag strip or runway. Period. Yes it's easier to go straight from a roll, but there's no time to recover from any kind of mishift or mishap. and the speeds are far greater than any Roadcourse. I prefer road courses, but it's a lot more time intensive. Roll racing is everywhere. Drag racing is everywhere. If I lived next to Road America, I'd be there everyday I could.

But to the original point that you can't buy a faster lap time, that's horse poop. I did it. 😁

 

a better setup car will go faster around a track, yes.....with the same driver in both cars. So like a lot of amateur drivers, they are NOT pros, so a lot of them are on similar levels, at least the ones that are very competitive and do it every weekend, so yes the more money you spend on your car the faster you will go around that road course.......its really not a hard concept to grasp.....

 

I always find it amusing when someone thinks that "going in a straight line" just takes money and not much skill. That might work getting a 13 second car into the 12s but very quickly you find that you do actually have to have skill and be able to drive. Roll racing likely much the same, break traction at near triple digits and it's you keeping it out of the wall. There's more than a few videos of people trashing their cars doing these "simple" things - enough that one might actually think there's some skill involved to go real fast....
