Individual cars have aged like vintages. At this point they often bear little resemblance to the cars they were. My 951 has the 'good' Autothority chips, low miles, and more-or-less mint shape, the 928 has chips, factory exhaust, and linguine shift linkage (despite low miles). Neither are the cars they were - comparing them is not comparing a 951 to a 928, it's comparing MY 951 to MY 928.

I thought it was an interesting video.

Off the line, there is no doubt the 951's had the 928. Watching the video, the hammer dropped at about 3 seconds in. Both the Black and Red 951's had a good jump on the 928. Right around the 10 second video mark(about 6-7 seconds of full throttle) the 928 easily comes around the 951 that is out in front and quickly moves away.

Just shows the differences between the two cars. Both won.

Okay... I'll call BS on that statement. No need to placate the 951 crowd here. We all saw it, the 928 won.

I would have thought the complete opposite. The low end tq of the 928 taking them off the line and the more mid/top end 951 chasing it down.

no one which is why talking about stock mod whatever is a pretty stupid arguement. 9 times outta 10 if the guy is making a video of him racing someone else he is prolly the type to have a mod or two.

Does someone want mod for mod? Because there are several states with modded 928s and there are probably some modded 951s around the same area. Green Bay comes to mind.

You should have supercharged the 928 instead. You would have a much faster car...
