Thought this looked interesting. An old 1974 911 versus a GT3 Cup Car..... The old girl does well. :shock:

he backed right off in the previous lap to let the white car by though, made for more entertainment!! great vid, think I remember one from a couple of years ago with a hot 996 TT against I think it was a 993 GT2, fab! and of course the correct outcome :wink: :wink:

Interesting to see the power/weight ratio, those old 911's are small, agile and light unlike the modern cars. Even my 993 looks small standing next to a 997, and tiny compared to a 996 bus.

It's interesting you say that. I was out yesterday and saw a 997 and realised just how much bigger they are than the old cars. I never realised.

Yep, against the 996 its even more pronounced, and of course they are much heavier cars also
