Can a GIAC/bolt on 997.2 beat a Ferrari F12?

Got back late last night from OmegaMotorsports NoFlyZone event. Got the chance to do some fun runs against modded GTR's, Supras, other 911 Turbos, and a few other bad *** cars.


My buddy just picked up an F12 to go along with his 458 Speciale and we wanted to see if my GIAC Stage 2+ Turbo S could keep up with the Ferrari that Clarkson said had "too much power".


GIAC estimated that I'm pushing around 750 crank HP which is about 20 more than the F12, however it was going to be tough to beat the Ferrari in it's territory - racing the monster RWD V12 from a roll on at 45mph and full half mile cone to cone.


Both cars running MS109 race gas. Both cars weight in at just under 3,600 lbs. Should be interesting.


Enjoy.

The first question that came to mind was I wonder if the F12 owner was disappointed?

Great race and video as always!!

Nicely done. Your videos kind of reminds me of the multitude Youtube videos showing the Tesla P85D outrunning many powerful cars. Your car is like a sleeper. An unassuming TTS that surprises a lot of other exotics .

I beat the local F12 easily and you have a PDK and about 50 whp more..... I am told the European F12's are a wee bit lighter and quicker

Did your friend vbox his run as I would be interested to calculate the real engine power of a USA V12... most I have seen are WAY under 700 bhp FWIW

nice runs as usual..... did the 650S beat you ?

Aside from the tq I knew from the camera angle on Adam's car how this would go lol.

Both amazing cars. The 997.2 tuned right is just a beast!
