Haven't seen that one, so it'll be for weekend viewing with a Highland Park.

Thanks for posting, Dave. Your car must be fun to drive up in the Atherton Tablelands.

Wow-my palms were sweaty just watching!.
That driver in the 997 was one savy dude when it came to passing.

+1 but I don't understand it. The Viper sounds like it's topped out on a straight. This is where it should be shinning. Say what you will about Vipers, I'm not a fan either, but no one can deny they are power monsters.

Ok, stand corrected. "She" was pretty darn savy in the passing dept.
One thing I dont understand is how the Viper with significant more ponies was passed at the end of the fastest part of the course by the 997?

Wow! I've only seen her in a "taxi" before. Soooth. Can't wait till June. Here I come.

Sounded like the Viper was out of gear.

Hi Rinty, which ever way you get up the tablelands and which ever way you come down are great fun but the local feds are getting more of a pain with their revenue gathering radar guns. You have obviously been over this way ?

If you have seen the movie Talladega nights, you would know she did the "sling shot" @ 9:17. Shake and bake!

Video has been posted before on here somewhere, with other cameras too. Never gets old though. Just goes to show ya that brute torque and horse power isn't enough sometimes.
