Good race that, quite a random line up mind, I mean, the poor fiesta ST! Cheered it on as much as I could but it didn't stand a chance! The Porsche was mega impressive, as was the GTR. Shame there's quite a bit of bullshit before the race, to anyone who hasn't watched yet skip to 2:40

The problem I have with a 911 turbo is...
1. They cost near 200k for a high spec brand new one. For that you could buy something like a 6 month old 458.
2. They don't make any noise. They don't sound very good or loud...like a 458 does or even a £50k GTR or £65k R8 V10 does.

The amazing thing with the new 911 Turbo S is it's clutch system. Apparently, it's Porsche designed (built by ZF) and is classed as a lifetime part (rated to 100,000 miles). But what's more impressive about it, is it's ability to take repetitive launch-control standing starts without bursting into tears and going into limp mode. In fact, here's a video of it doing 50, back to back, full-bore LC standing starts. That's pretty impressive

I know right 
But the video gets the point across Regardless of whether you like the car or not, it's ability to do that is impressive, when you compare it next to Astons that break after a couple of tries and Ferrari's that overheat, go into limp mode and end play.
