Default Drag race: 991 GTS v.BMW X5M

Thought I would post this here. Don't see many drag races in the raw. I know they are pretty useless when it comes to all-around performance, but still fun! Also included is GT3 v. same car. Enjoy!

GTS v. X5M

GT3 v. X5M

GTS is fast... GT3 is faster. Too bad they didn't run the 911s against each other.

Wow, two of the fastest 911's can beat an X5 SUV (I know it's a quick one ).

I had the older model X5M, it was a beast especially off the line. I am pleased to see GTS is that much faster, can't wait till next week!!

That was fun! I thought the GTS would get dusted by the M car.

So, X5M also (as M3, M4) has synthetic speaker engine sound? It sounds very artificial.

Nice to see some Swedes and their cars in action

slapping an M on a truck is an abomination.

I've got one of the last GMC Typhoons ever built with 15k miles. That SUV was particularly popular with Porsche drivers who wanted a capable, yet lightning fast, transport during the winter months.
