Porsche 996 Turbo Vs. Lotus Omega Drag Race [1/4 Mile]

[hattchitharry]

poor drivers

[lewis72]

The physics of it are that the 911 will always launch better than the LC because of the engine being over the back wheels.

My old Elise had a far worse power:weight ratio than other cars but could launch better.

[gtaspecialist900]

@36psi yeah but under the hood they're powerful and fast, but not furious like your civic.

[gtaspecialist900]

@36psi fuck off

[TheHell666yeah]

very rare lotus.

[DEVASTATOR478]

omega is too heavy ....0-160 km/h : 12 sec. .

[gomczx11]

this massive wheels on the lotus probably took some time

[Used93]

if you look closely lotus would still win he burnout in 1 and a little screech on 2

[magaliiarte]

a omega saiu cantando pneu qui nem loko só por isso perdeu

[Ashleyuk1984]

13.8 seconds for the Carlton??? WTF thats slow!! My Vectra GSi runs 12's LMAO !!!!

[bottomfeeder73]

The Porsche is obviously better. Go ahead, cheer the loser underdog. Fact is, the GERMAN made Porsche kicks butt. So, make all the excuses you want because that is exactly what LOSERS do! Haha!!

[TheTparkin]

@bottomfeeder73 cool name bro

[TheLegoman28]

lotus rocks in its years porsche sucked it s bumper and besides the lotus bakes a few kph more than 300 and the porsche cant even make 300

[hamdini05]

@TheLegoman28 dude no lotus is gonna take a porsche turbo. i dont care what excuses you make about hp or price of shit. thats the point the cars are DIFFERENT and the porsche is a better all around car. hands down

[FunBoy3030]

@hamdini05 exactly. can't compare a Porsche with Lotus, Mercedes etc...different league

[FunBoy3030]

@TheLegoman28 lol, Porsche can hit 321 kmh what are you talking about?

lotus is 1/3 of what Porsche is

[TheLegoman28]

@FunBoy3030 not in 1994

[DerSchlens]

@FunBoy3030 Not very good in math, are you? The Lotus does 280+ - back in 1994 even a Porsche Turbo had troubles keeping up with it.

[FunBoy3030]

@DerSchlens There is no math to do Einstein. In 2011, no Lotus that can beat the best Porsche.

[DerSchlens]

@FunBoy3030 You just don't get it.

[FunBoy3030]

@DerSchlens Indeed. Why talk about 1994? that part, I don't get it. A Porsche 911 Turbo does 320Kmh (200mph) today and it's not the fastest model.

When it comes to tradition in racing and innovation, Porsche is so much more than Lotus.

[DerSchlens]

@FunBoy3030 No. We are talking about a thoroughbred sports car (modelyear 1998-2005) with AWD beating an 8yr older sedan with RWD (and an obviously inexperienced driver). Big f'ing deal. Back in the days (1990-1992), the Lotus kicked Porsche's ass to oblivion and back.

For the record, since you don't even seem to know what you're talking about: a 996 Turbo "only" did a little over 300kph - and a 996 sure as hell isn't a 997, in case you haven't already realized.

Now go play Forza or something.

[FunBoy3030]

@DerSchlens Wow... chill. I own a 997 S and wasn't comparing it to a 996.

You totally missed the point wich is: stop comparing Lotus to Porsche. If you want to talk about the 90's be my guest.

[FunBoy3030]

@DerSchlens Btw, can that Lotus corner? Looks like it has the aerodynamics of a fridge.

I doubt on a track it can come close to the 996's time.

[TheLegoman28]

@FunBoy3030 a fridge doesnt reach speeds over 300

[FunBoy3030]

@TheLegoman28 if you put an engine on it...

[TheLegoman28]

@DerSchlens ofcourse in 1994 the lotus omega's opponent was the ferrari testarosa

[TheLegoman28]

@FunBoy3030 + porsche is a sports car and the lotus is a sedan wich made a national scandal becawse of its top speed of over 300 kph and that was in 1994 when its opponent was the ferrari testarossa AND in germany the other companies like mercedes and BMW allowed them selfs the top speed of 250 kph and there is no single computer in the lotus and your wrong porsche is 1/3 of opel

[taz275]

I still like the Carlton better

[Karstos75]

the omega is a limousine and the 911 is a much younger sportscar

[pun1978isher]

Let's see about 500kg added to the Porsche to make the weight almost fair.

[Mercedes600SEL]

@pun1978isher Lotus omega weights 1650kg and porshe 911 turbo 996 1560kg

[Numlocq]

Porsche are shit. Fuckin hate them. Wish some muslim ran out and blew it up. Go Lotus Carlton you little beast!

[kratos32godofwar]

no chance he had the shittiest car mate the lotus carltons the better car muppet

[kratos32godofwar]

the porshe only won coz it had 4 wheel drive and the lotus didnt hav traction control

[rene199]

@kratos32godofwar you mean he only had won because its the better car? right dude

[blondis6]

the Omega looks very good with this wheels.

[DaRonny]

@blondis6 They look like Breyton Spirit or something?

[rextuner03]

13.8 @ 110mph that tells you right there that is a mid to low 12 second car with a driver that has half a working brain.

[Bemupiku]

@rextuner03 Lotus Omega dont go 12 second times,top end speed is good that tell the power.You have not looked Lotus Omega tests,professional driver event get it 12 second times..

[ShopVids]

@rextuner03 a second and a half gained from a better driver?! you must know nothing about drag racing.

[rextuner03]

@ShopVids LOL yeah keep telling yourself that. You must not know much about drag racing if you don't think a driver can make a difference.

[hazaowl]

value 56k.

why does how much itcost make one jot of difference?????

[tall757]

the guy in the carlton can't shift at all, u can see the car bucking horrendously at every shift lol

[keano6t9]

I'd still rather the carlton 1 of my dream cars

[drahmani]

the driver of that omega sucks ass

[Jayskiallthewayski]

Haha, he really does!

[GIjoe7793]

I hate opels but the lotus omega is simply badass. The driver sucks ass though. damn shame...that car would be capable of more.

[mnjaa11]

@Bash82: go fuck yourself! opel is the best!

[bash82]

my E60, m5 bhp 500. value 56k...you stick to your dressed up cavaliers with a 'turbo' wooooo m8 carltons r shite...maybe in the mid 90's they were good cars, now they shitty petrol drinkin bus's...its a fact son...get over it...oh and speakin of fucking, hows ur sister mnjaa11??

[halsoyIII]

Wow, you drive a state of the art BMW and you compare that towards a Opel? You must have alot going for you in life.

[mnjaa11]

@bash82 she is good. and so is your mother after i was there? fuckhead-.-'

[lewis72]

@bash82

It had nothing to do with a Cavalier; that was a FWD platform.

[bash82]

what a shit car...basically a shitty cavalier with a turbo'd engine... driven by 40+ men who think there 21 again...grom up dudes... get real..these cars were ok in the 90's...now there shite, petrol drinking bus's that can't handle for shit.. i own a bmw m5 and it wud blow the legs off these rust bucket pieces of shit...!!!!

[Draxindustries1]

@bash82

Agree totally. Vauxhall are total shit and the turbo'd cavalier description is spot on.

[bash82]

cheers m8

[Adinel88]

lotus omega:D...and cavalier is not a shit car ...cavalier was a number one in the 90's(btcc) ....bmw 328is-193hp and "shitty"cavalier with 1998cmc(turbo engine) -204hp..this is shit?

[troodon23]

cavalier has been and is one of the crappiest car ever manufactured

[Vipercrazy1]

@troodon23 Bollocks to that mate Cavaliers are beast

[csibi5]

@troodon23 kill yourself

[Jayskiallthewayski]

Isn't that a little short cutting?

What about the guy that is 21 just got his license, saved some money or his father chips in for his first car and he comes home with this, is it a shit car than?

I would have give anything to drive this when I was 21, and ok I'm 35 now and still wouldn't mind.

And don't say Cavalier man, makes you sound like a typical Beamer Driver, to much hot air and without imagination.

M5, wow man, ring the parades.

[bash82]

how many 21yr olds get insured on a lotus calrton.??? exactly..

[JulesD1992]

@bash82 but its a lotus omega there is a difference

[Konformation07]

@JulesD1992 not much other than the wheel on the otherside of the car because it was sold in mainland Europe and Carlton in the UK only.

[StuPadazzo]

Again.... this SAME driver STILL can't launch a car. Probably a kid. He blows the baloneys off the Carlton for 40 feet, thinking if he lets off he'll fall behind the Porche. Not realizing that the longer he keeps spinning.... the farther behind he's getting. Stupid driver. He has screwed up every launch in all the vids in this series.

[theaceofbass]

i totally agree my carlton can leave anything sitting if driven right...

they must be paying this guy to lose...

[RoadRunnerDrummerJD]

why do people call it a lotus omega, when the car clearly isnt an omega..its a carlton?

[theaceofbass]

uk=carlton

rest of europe=omega

same as vauxhall=uk and

opel=rest of europe

[split196]

usa= Cadillac cattera

[dragonny4master]

If you want to be precise, it is Opel-Lotus Omega

[soton000]

actualy it is the same lets call it GM lotus:))

[GuzziHeroV50]

The Omega you know as an Omega is actually an Omega B. What you see here is called an Omega A in Europe - what in England we know as the Carlton.

:) Proud Omega B owner :)

[RoadRunnerDrummerJD]

Ahh right..cheers guys.

I like omega b's ...theyre decent cars.

Handsome things as well.

[FoxMcCloudMyHero]

@RoadRunnerDrummerJD Because outside of the world's navel (britain) I'ts called Opel Omega Lotus. The Omega was based on the carlton from Vauxhall. Do a little research.

[RoadRunnerDrummerJD]

@FoxMcCloudMyHero Fuck off.

[Fondorcry]

@FoxMcCloudMyHero Nope. The Carlton was based on the Omega. First was Omega THEN carlton. Do a little research.

[charmoso21]

no... he loser for porche turbo...

[charmoso21]

no way!!!!! the omega lotus winner for everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kaboooom2000uk]

damn lotus came close, but no cigar.

[happykiller66]

I still prefer the lotus...

[montini007]

not enough traction in the Lotus...Should be better with some practise or other ECU with launch control :)

[sequiaonda78]

Could be... it sppined at the begining.. That made it to lose ground and time.
