lol that's an MK1 991 (.1 TT-S) and its not even a destruction- for those who have actually done rolling races that race was much closer in real life. Sometimes the editor here gets a bit "fancy".

I believe that's an MK1 Porsche, not the newer one, and that was not "destroyed". That car does the quarter in under 10.8 at over 130MPH trap, so there is something weird here. Is the Porsche driver lifting off? Is he any good? Something doesn't seem right since both runs were highly inconsistent.

2017 AMG GT
I swear today I'm driving around in comfort mode, trying to get through break through miles. A newer 911 turbo cabriolet is harassing me and taunting me to race and pulling all kinds of jack *** maneuvers near me. I was being harassed like you would expect from a suburu.
I look over and there is a 50-60 year old guy driving, a blue haired grandma in the passenger seat and the mom and a kid in the backseat. I did the friendly "I have no interest in racing" wave, and thought that would be the end of it. We were on a long main drag street in my area and they just continued to harass me for several more miles until I kind of tricked them into thinking I was going to race.
What is wrong with people?
I clearly didn't want to race.

2021 Porsche TTS
Looks right to me. Take out the mighty awd advantage and the race start of the 911TT and it is not an invincible car any more.
The torque advantage of the tuned GT-S will walk a 911TTS (.1 or .2) and the video is there to prove it. My tuned CLS would pull do the same thing to a stock or tuned 997TTS or lightly modded GTR.
Tune a 991TT and both cars are about the same and its a driver's race.

Your worst nightmare...
Now go tune the 991 and it's bye bye GT-S.
if it raced a coupe it would be much closer or the other way around. The convertible is 200+ lbs heavier. As Vic stated the 991 handled it's own and by no means was this a destruction.
Would love to see a race against a stock 991.2, much different outcome.
