234mph EVOMS twin turbo 997 Porsche - The Texas Mile - March 2011

[Slobonmyknob2525]

This thing just sounds pissed i love it!!!!!

[bossmanballsack]

lol sounds like a jack hammer at idle

[tootall45g]

The first run he's all over the track. Way twitchy steering.

[Xzibit588]

One more thing, towards the people thinking that is horrible shifting. It is an RWD car, with a lot of BHP.

[ANBratlie]

@Xzibit588 yeah, and let's not forget that the engine has it's home at the rear end of the car. High powered rear engine cars tend to behave somewhat different than your average minivan or camry. :)

[bmwjimicali]

i cant believe the shifting...its horrible..but the car is badass....germans do it before anyone..

[krewkid09]

99.9% of people saying this guy can't drive would never be able to handle a twin turbo car... GUARANTEED.

[sixbeatsperminute]

probably the best sound ive ever heard a car make

[monsterzx9]

LMAO 1% of you "experts" will ever see 200mph much less 240. I dunno...if you get the K&N filter AND the cat back... you never know.

[hdidane00]

best sounding turbo i heard yet what's that monster making 1000+ hp?

[BryanLovesDub]

you guys say "driver mod", "shitty driver". if you're in a car that ridiculously fast, you're worried for your life rather than hitting rev limiter and powershifting. this aint no b20 hatch lmao.

[RORitzRJ]

@BryanLovesDub agree. nice videos btw.



[MoeFe]

@BryanLovesDub your an IDIOT

[BryanLovesDub]

@MoeFe how so?

[DrTrey69]

@MoeFe no, YOU'RE an idiot.

[WilliamBonneau]

fuckkkk thats dope

[haxxxxxify]

lol the driver isn't letting go of the gas when the clutch is in...

[lt1bird348]

Why hit the rev limiter? It cost time.



[Afrothunderkat]

@lt1bird348 thats traction loss........

get a clue

[lt1bird348]

@Afrothunderkat Your right. I have a clue,just not at the time I made that comment.

[Afrothunderkat]

@lt1bird348 i am glad that a clue has been gotten. good day.

[moparcarsonly]

sounds like it needs a proper driver

[OldboySaint]

@moparcarsonly Sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about, but at least you like Mopars.

[moparcarsonly]

@OldboySaint

yea mopar or no car, shity sound spluttering proche trash

[TheRBSTI3]

It looks like a handful but it must feel different inside the car because the guy driving it never let off the gas, it seems like that is a common problem with a porsche 911 but it can clearly deliver lots of power.. I suppose untill it gains an aerodynic force it does not perform as expectied.. be assured at those speeds everything has been accounted fore! The goal is speed people! speed! Wow if only i could have a spin..

[memuerodeganas]

naawww this is whaaat I call a gaaawd daam americunt race baby wooo hooo

[96jdmej8]

They need a driver mod!!

[JuergenGDB]

Yeah... whoever said that it sounds like shit.. obviously has never heard a tuned out Flat 6, let alone a twin turbo flat 6, totaly a distinct sound. Check out some old Le Mans and hear the Flat 6's and 12's.

[m6205]

i was running with my laptop, just after i clicked with this video, when the video started, i jumped cuz i got scared thinkin i was crushin my hardrive, but it was the robust, amazin exhaust on that 997

[Gobabyvroommm]

Lol o man the sound is brutal! Can't stand the sound of modded porches but that thing gets down! Nice car!

[dufferego87]

@somdusazerate Well I was talking about production cars. Those cars are made to run at that speed. For ex: the veyron or the agera r are really stable even at their top speed. I heard from mechanics that modded cars are not aerodynamicly stable at really high speed

[paintballguy117]

that thing sounds soooooo mean

[carey540]

Lmaaaaoooo @ all these internet/youtube clowns who HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT FAST CARS and NEVER actually go to the track talking about rwd vs. awd...theres no comparison....awd is good for your slow ass 11 and 12 second street cars. thats about it. anything faster AWD is totally pointless and is actually at a disadvantage compared to a rwd car with slicks and built suspension...but i wouldnt expect the majority of you to understand that..fuckin internet rice clowns

[Skater3z3b]

@carey540 Your talking race cars at a drag strip while these may be fast almost every car at the texas mile can drive in the street and not get pulled over (given they obeying laws) Street legal to street legal which means no slicks. Awd will win If both are at the same power level and weight. Simply because street tire to street tire the awd will have 4 wheels propelling it versus 2.

[TheRBSTI3]

Wow, that car really looks like a handful. I think touqre steer would be an understatement for this car..I have an awd car and i know what it is like with all that rotating mass spinning fast, but i coldnt imagine it with that power and speed!

[Brioo27]

soo dirty sooo dirty sooooo diiirrttyyyy!!!!!

[somdusazerate]

it SHOULD beat the vette, seeing that the prosche is twice (or more?) expensive. that really proves nothing. but it still can't beat a car with a n/a pushrod engine and an old fashioned chassis. the GT-R is definately better than your german trash, seeing that it's faster in every aspect, you can actually use the rear seats and the trunk. a 4-seater nissan manages to easily beat the "ultimate" porsche. must suck being a porsche fanboy nowadays, when econobox manufacturers piss on your shit :D

[JUMPMAN23MCM]

@somdusazerate Porsche now makes 500HP out of their 4.0L 6 cyl n/a 997 GT3. Chevy makes 500HP out of their 8 liter 8 cyl. Who's more impressive?

[somdusazerate]

@JUMPMAN23MCM

hp/l is a ricer factor. you just made yourself look... well as stupid as you actually are

hp/l is only a semi-useable factor in motor racing, only in classes that have a displacement limit, like le mans and stuff like that. but maybe it's better to make it clear to you that it doesn't mean it's automatically better. it just means it has a higher peak horsepower rating

[carey540]

@somdusazerate and the vette STILL kills all that. end of story

[altimgamr]

@carey540 vette is garbage dude. gtr and 911 BOTH kill the vette

[ViciousC6]

@altimgamr a gtr and 911 kills the zr1? lmao please watch topgear and learn something kid. thanks.

[altimgamr]

@ViciousC6 lol you're clueless 

[krampp24]

@ViciousC6 hes right lol... vicious i meaning that your right

[bo5061]

@altimgamr Dont get cocky little boy!!!

[altimgamr]

@bo5061 another uneducated redneck i presume?

[bo5061]

@altimgamr I not even from America you fucking wanker...

[altimgamr]

@bo5061 so then youre not worth talking to. im american but i know our cars suck

[Mauryd22]

Horrible sound n acceleration smh

[yafu123]

looks sexy as fuck without side mirrors

[WUZIGULUHU]

swirv swirv swirv swirv

[Liniante]

I taught my brother was cutting the grass outside for a moment

[somdusazerate]

well that's nice. you have all the power but you can't lay it down. worst car ever

[altimgamr]

@somdusazerate no thats actually the viper you should say that about

[somdusazerate]

@altimgamr

yeah because the viper pulls better track times on the nurburgerking than any porsche?

[altimgamr]

@somdusazerate look at the 956. its a porsche. no american car will ever have any hope of touching that time kid

[somdusazerate]

@altimgamr

but it's not a street legal car, the chances you'll get to drive one.. well there are no chances. however the viper ACR, which is a street legal car, by the way, is accessible unless you're poor (which you probably are). the viper WILL destroy any equally street legal porsche. just deal with it, you got served

[altimgamr]

@somdusazerate im not poor but im not rich and only really rich people will get to drive an acr but the gt2 is an all around better car than that. and dont bring up ring times cause that is not the tell all of how good a car is

[somdusazerate]

@altimgamr

oh sure, I won't bring lap times up. because I'm pretty sure porsches aren't track cars. well, to be honest, how could they be? I mean the fastest porsche gets it's ass handed to itself by a viper with a ricer wing. face it kiddo, it's just a boosted up beetle which cannot compete in the modern world. I mean even a fucking nissan manages to beat the porsche

[altimgamr]

@somdusazerate i see that you obviously dont read well. the porsche 911 gt2 destroys both vettes at the ring. the viper only beats it because its gutted of everything to shed weight. the porsche got its time fully loaded and looks better too. gtr is also better than that american trash

[iPROFITDON]

@altimgamr The 911GTR RS is what is up there with the Vettes, not the 911 GT2. The GT2RS is stripped out on the inside, doesn't even have door handles, the Viper ACR on the other hand is not. It's just a monster. Quit your fan boy shit.

[altimgamr]

@iPROFITDON the acr has nothing on the inside. ive seen the gt2 and its loaded not stripped like the acr

[iPROFITDON]

@altimgamr I think you're missing the whole RS thing. It has no door handles, just straps. No sound system. The ACR has both. The base GT2 has absolutely no chance.

[altimgamr]

@iPROFITDON the acr has no sound system or AC or anything either

[iPROFITDON]

@altimgamr The ACR with the hard core package looses it's sound system, but still has A/C. The base ACR has both.

[altimgamr]

@somdusazerate and its nurburgring

[mitsuevo17]

Sounds like he missed third? lol

[TexasAceAA]

@Drauglain Incorrect, go look at all the other cars running faster then that and with more power that run straight as an arrow.

[namybot]

Are any of these cars legal to drive on the streets?

[BMWMotorsport333]

Nice top speed! The owner needs to do something about traction and using all that power more effectively.

[pjtx200]

wow.. no traction and still 234 - that is sick :D

[Rockit181]

AWD removed??? why?

[2002honda954]

what good is all that power if you can't put it to the ground?

[roxon1366]

Teen driver.



[lanatureestbelle]

doesn't sound right....

[carrabanana]

He shifts like a bitch

[osamamoto]

i didnt like the sound.:(

[herbiesnerd]

It doesn't sound like shit, its sounds pretty damn bad ass. Every one of these cars running these miles all have traction problems on that concrete. Its popping when he takes his foot out of it to shift and it hits a rev limiter towards the 3/4 mark it sounds like. Its sounds nasty when his foot is in it when its hooked up. Slipping around at 150+ can't be fun.

[aqilwilliamsa]

@herbiesnerd that car has a massive turbo on it, so once it creates boost it spins the tires and causes the rps to jump up

[turbo3oh]

@herbiesnerd sounds like shit to me, only reason u say it sounds "bad ass" is because it can run over 220mph but if a kia came up beside u with 110hp sounding like that i bet u wouldnt say it sounded bad ass.

[herbiesnerd]

@turbo3oh A KIA with 110 HP would never sound like that - period and I wouldn't give a shit what any KIA sounded like. You have a lot of car videos attached to you, I'm surprised you say it sounds like shit. I don't know if you've ever spent time around high HP cars or not, but your motor education needs to ramp up a couple of levels to know what you are hearing. Forget the pops and backfires, that motor is wicked nasty. The fact it runs over 220 mph just confirms its bad ass, sound or not!

[monsterzx9]

@turbo3oh Kia's are inline or "straight" 4 cylinder where that was a boxer motor. Completely different sound. To answer your question if a kia pulled up and sounded like that I would wonder if it was a porsche swap or a suburu swap LOL.

[reviewboss97]

sounds like shit

[altimgamr]

this is probly the best vid this channel has

[schassis]

damn I think he needs a bigger wing or something he wasn't getting to much traction.

[dutchm4n11]

i'm sure this car can do better with some better shifting and not hitting the limiter...!!but it sounds great...!

[huyabusa999]

do you think you could probaly hook up a 2009 boxter S like that? not with 1000hp but something like that

[beeman4266]

It sounds like a pissed of leaf blower ;s

[1waffleiron]

The AWD is like WTF THIS IS WAAAAY TOO FAST

[carey540]

@1waffleiron and thats why rwd is better

[ducka0f]

@carey540

RWD is not better you stupid idiot. nor is it worse, its different.

[carey540]

@ducka0f its definitely better calling it just "different" makes you sound like a giant pussy whos afraid to see reality clearly. Ive seen it first hand, rwd is better. a car with AWD is only gonna go so fast til it actually becomes difficult to hook up.. When a car leaves the majority of the weight is thrown towards the back wheels (inertia) the more horsepower...the harder its gonna leave..obviously...theres a peak to where AWD just becomes pointless.you wouldnt know tho being a stupid riceboy

[dufferego87]

@carey540 the worlds current fastest car has awd my friend. bugatti veyron ss

[somdusazerate]

@dufferego87

the fastest production car

against modded cars it doesn't really stand a chance

[carey540]

@1waffleiron Yeh and thats why RWD is superior

[MangoSmoothie16]

@carey540 please explain why rwd is superior

[fpatolot01]

a driver that can drive a car with that much power is a good driver. going that fast, if he corrects the steering he could spin out easy so he knows what hes doing when he just lets the car roam around a bit, thinking it back into the groove.

[MrRobinsooon]

Not too safe :/

[huyabusa999]

how much hp and tourque?

[Dman2569]

@huyabusa999 i believe its just over 1000hp and i am not sure on torque

[kakemboluide]

i dont think i'd go down the same drag strip with this car.. #jumpintoyourlaneforafierycras­h

[silvermannnnnnn]

WOT shifting?

[aaaaariiiiielllll]

hes got some balls

[cb7pwn]

@aaaaariiiiielllll more like no brain

[ICUhippo]

just warming up the tyres

[jdamage68]

man talking about that suks at shifting.. Poor Porche

[Halo56321]

sounds like its running rough the gaps between the engine sound

[nareeeely]

would have made more if he didnt over rev it

[KilaByte33]

@nareeeely If he overrevved it he would have blown the motor, it's called hitting the limiter.

[nareeeely]

@KilaByte33 dude its the same .. over revving is when your in neutral and hitting the limiter is when your moving .. its busts the lifters and valves

[Porchelover3000]

this gives porche a bad name 

[jenslucking]

@Porchelover3000 Yep, porches kinda suck. But that Porsche in the video is pretty, pretty, pretty... Pretty cool. Says Miley Cyrus. While sittin' on her porch-e. With her daddy. Who's readin' the Playboy.

[20GeneStarwind20]

to much power

[1949JimBob]

SLICKS BUDDY!!!!!

[vmaxx55]

@1949JimBob slicks can't withstand speeds of 200+ over distances of a mile or more...BLOWOUTS have occurred in the past!

[iPROFITDON]

@vmaxx55 Huh? I believe you're thinking of drag slicks, racing slicks are what these guys usually run.

[1949JimBob]

@vmaxx55 exactly, z-rated street slicks man... better than that hard rubber you guys are running :)

[BlowdownBob]

I would like to take my Australian Made XR6 FG Ute there :)

[schellwardee]

@BlowdownBob why? How fast do you think it will go? 150? 160?

[mesa401]

Looks like a squashed bug.

[kief4diamonds]

maybe thats how a car handles when the motors in the back at high speeds....the weight would push rather than pull. whole new ball game at those speeds.

[Mikepermenter1]

Sure it's fast but it sounds like crap.

[stepxunit]

safety first ? then speed ? or is that just me...

[Drkadrk]

@stepxunit ? what sounds good to you?

[stepxunit]

@Drkadrk Haha... well for these guys.. speed.. but looking at the Porsche going side to side.. looks unstable.. i personally would try to fix that first... crashing at such speeds... ouch

[mejawmeyaw]

scary 

[jaymieandrew855]

sound like a fuckin lawn mower on roids at idle...

[bjosh2029]

this guy shifts like a girl... i may not do 200 + miles per hour but i have a garage full of trophys for drag racing and my 71 duster handles better than that piece too... EXTRA WEAK!!!!

[yz250ftony]

thats a fast car for sure, but needs some work. massive turbo lag, drifting all over the place at speed. driver was tryin not to melt the tires by short shifting, but still hit the limiter on the topend when the poweradders kicked in. not sayin i could do better, but the car looked like a handful to drive. i like it!

[almasi72]

To all of you saying the car is "squirmy" or that it has a lack of stability...that car is so bad@ss that the driver was actually slalom testing in conjunction with the acceleration test!

[thomisonnnnn]

Too much power to the rear wheels plus the weight of the engine on it as well?

That could be why its squirming around near the end.

[ohiorocksdude]

... really? all the legit haters... im sure you can do 234 on ur HUFFY!... right?

[texwill77]

in car footage....send it right now.....right now :)

[coltboostin]

Maybe if someone over there knew how to align a car. Look at the rear Camber. This is the Mile, not your local road course. Idiots

[chevelle454ss1]

Damn was it just me or was his shifting not all that great

[colinshark]

That thing has the strangest power band. I can't believe it got moving so well.

[JEHAB1]

now thats moving great videos hightech.....

[christdholt]

probably windy. its a bitch tring to hold a car at highway speeds on windy days

[metalmatt1017]

Sounds like an angry go cart. Fast as hell though.

[DwnNvr]

Squirmy the whole way down.

[armwrestling23]

@DwnNvr it really was and its funny that i see that happen on 4wd cars with high hp all the time i guess when 4 wheels are pulling 1000hp its not easy to keep it straight

[jumper1294]

gay

[robertjdm]

@jumper1294 Nothing "gay" about a 1500hp Porsche!

[TexasAceAA]

Dang it is all over the place.

Stability problems much?

[04CobraLover]

@TexasAceAA Lots of Power

[504deeznuts]

@04CobraLover yes it is bro. then the wind looks like its pumpin too. thank god he didnt fly away, lol...

[BURRletta]

@TexasAceAA way too much power to keep that thing under control :P

[Bryanx89]

@TexasAceAA driver problems lmao

[Wopadas]

That looks like it drives like shit.

[mercracer24]

it sounds like a lawn mower with a fart can muffler
