And THIS is how fast the TTS Cab is (vs. Speciale)

It's just no contest. Even with the top down.

Oh good God!

What's up with those side mirrors, though - looks like some sort of cartoonish joke.

This isn't a fair drag race.

AWD vs RWD. Would love to see who is faster around a track.

REALLY? Why is there always some comment like that? It was a drag race video. Who said anything about handling, track, etc.? I am quite certain that we could come up with a thousand different scenarios where each car would outperform the other. Each car has its strengths. This video happened to be a straight line drag race and the Porsche annihilated the Speciale. That's pretty much the sum total.

Here's an example: This isn't a fair drag race.

AWD vs RWD. Would love to see who is faster around a track IN THE RAIN.-lol

Guys, as an academic exercise, or just for fun, having different vehicles of various hp/torque output and different drivetrain configurations is fine. But there is a reason why racing organizations restrict certain types of cars to compete with one another/ban AWD, etc, and that is simply because of the huge disparity that would exist if you just lumped everything together.

As such, all the above shows is that the TTS is faster than the Speciale in a straight line and over a certain distance. It does not prove that the TTS is the 'faster' car, which has many more facets than straight line speed.

Ok I'll get the 458 so I can be flashy too.

You guys are so funny about speed. I guess we will have to say "this car is faster than that car in exactly 1/4 mile runs." Lord knows we will need to add disclaimers:

"cars may be faster than other cars in certain conditions, including, but not limited to, differences in tires, drivetrain systems, countries of origin, weather conditions, track vs road and the availability of Vic's grandmother on any given day!"
