Default Cobb GTR vs TechArt GT

good vid, as many complaints have been going around about the tranny issues and warranty, GTR still shines thru as the king of the throne...

if i had the money, for either two...i'd be on the GTR at my age, maybe the Porsche if I was 40+

I wouldn't want a Porsche that looks like that when I'm 40+ lol. Their kits usually look great so they should just leave all the vinyl at home.

I love the fact, as a fan on japanese cars, that the GTR is untouchable. GODZILLA has hit american soil and its destroyed all comers in its first gen in the states. Wait for the R36. They will be unstoppable. I gaurantee you that techart did alot more to their porsche than Cobb did to their GTR

Nice video.

I'm glad the GTR took it, the TechArt guy was kind of arrogant!

Why don't we get shows like this in my region of the US

That GTR would destroy a ruff vehicle as well. No difference. Tech art is not allois ruf, but its not some rinky dink tuner either. Give credit where credit is due

according to hubinette, the tires in teh porsche were either crappy or worn out, i coudln't quite tell which he was getting at. i think with better rubber on the porsche the lap times would have been closer.

but did you see the gtr get about 5 car lengths on the porsche in the last 1/8 mile of the drag race? he didn't get the holeshot from what i could tell in the vid, but it pulled hard at the top end.

send in a mines + amuse + cobb GTR vs a Ruf + EVOMS + Sportec 911 Turbo.

Also, let them bring in their own drivers.

I'd wanna watch that vid
