I’m like 90% sure it’s a Carerra T. Satin black Carrera S wheels and no red calipers. It’s definitely not a Turbo or Turbo S cause there’s no side intakes.

Also definitely looks like the car dips briefly meaning it’s likely a manual, and the Carerra T only comes in manual.

Porsche rated 4.3s 0-60mph.

It's clearly not a 911 Turbo or Turbo s. Probably a base 911.

Also not discounting tesla shenanigans. Would be easy enough to run the 1/4 a few times and get the 911 nice heat soaked and way down on power.

It's going to be pretty hard to heat soak a 911 to get it down on power. They're proper sports cars designed to hit the track.

The shenanigans was simply in choosing that car at all. A base 911 only claims a 0-60 of 4s and doesn't even break 400hp. It's never been a straight line car, that's not what it's trying to do or why enthusiasts love it.

It’s also not meant to be a direct comparison of any sort, but for some reason the people on HN manage to completely overlook that. The highly analytical mind truly is a blessing and a curse, especially when coupled with blind contempt for something.

Ah, so it's nothing. There are Mustangs that will beat a base-model 911 in a straight line.

I couldn't tell what model it was, as Twitter video has been broken for me for months.

Probably not while towing another 911 though.

they said they went to a dealership, bought it, then brought it to the track. No modifications etc.

Do Porsche cars need to be break in? I know some cars limit engine power for first thousands of km (m).
