Having the A/C on during a race doesn't matter. Cars disable the A/C under heavy load.

That car has full Evosport Stage 2 power kit and should pump about 430+ crank power.

Or new ones, for that matter (although beating anything higher than a 911S in the Porsche food chain with a modded C32 is going to be pretty difficult).

Yes if they only knew what mods these cars can get to equalize the playing field.

I love the fact that the 32 can pull a Ferrari, but like a poster before said: I would rather have the Ferrari. The sound alone in that tunnel would be worth every penny.

360 is 400 hp and 3300 or so lbs.
c32 430 hp and 3900 lbs....

i don't think the 360 is running to redline and i think the guy just rolls off the throttle towards the end making the c32 appears like if suddenly found 500 hp.

my 355 is 375 hp a bit lighter and is faster than the c32 but just barely. a 360 in a tunnel at full throttle will make some pretty loud amazing sound and that's totally lacking in the video. i say it was up to 6000 rpm.

And just for a note for ones that are not on here a lot AWDMAN C32 is modded and fast . So that should tell you how quick the 355 is to be a bit quicker tham his C32.

Agreed. If that 360 was at WOT at the end, the C32 will be needing spray to suddenly pull that hard up top. Modded or not, you are comparing a car with solid mid range lump to a high-rpm screamer. I would assume it to pull at the start of the race and slowly lose steam up top, not stay even and suddenly shoot ahead.

C32 3900 lbs? Maybe with a full tank and two fat dudes in it Mine weighs in at a hair shy of 3500. Granted, that is with no sunroof, Optima, wheels, no spare, no res and a few other deletes which will remain nameless, but my understanding is that even a fully-loaded C32 is a 3700 lb car, at most.
