I just noticed that almost everyone under me spelled porsche wrong (facepalm) And I wonder if the 930 models are still using an aircooled engine? Amazing if they are I can't imagine keeping that thing cool.
@TRNSFRMRSMAL107 They are called cutchs. They hold the parachute the car NEEDS to slow down from 220-280mph so they don't run off the end of the track like the hayabusa (311 mph) did.
@vasco10506 Look up, "220+ MPH porche". It should show a video of a slightly older "white porche 911. You'll see just how insane the power output for that car relly was.
I remember seeing that white porche at the mile. That car was a beast. Im sure that he could gone faster if it wasnt the fact that he kept braking traction in 4th gear.
@Massa91195 those turbos spool up very sharply, its really easy to hit rev limit or bend a valve in one of these cars. I think they are shifting relatively low just as preventative measure. Porsche motors are not cheap.
OMG I wanna see cars do 200+ MPH. I don't want to see a Scion embarrass 200+ people.

@TRNSFRMRSMAL107 I think those are parachutes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

@vasco10506 Nope... I was there. I saw it fishtailing when it began to loose traction.

i love porsches
but why they all sound like the driver would shift at 300rpm?
normally a porsche sounds awesome but what is that?

@Massa91195 first couple gears they are light on the throttle too much power it just burns the tires prob full throttle around end of 3rd 4th and 5th
