It looks like he's a talented driver. I can't help but wonder how he would have fared if he had the extra power of a turbocharger or supercharger.

That car looks familiar

Here's to pcasso getting back on the track soon :happy0180:

Ah, the joys of watching a competent driver and a well set up car at work.

That FR-S is living in some very fast company on a very high speed track. Props!

Lol, I don't know too much about Porsche color / body options but that car looks like a 4-liter RS to me. This dude must have the world's fastest FR-S :P

Those straightaways looked painful.

iLuveKetchup · 03-31-2013, 06:10 PM

Silly comparison. Obviously the GT3 is not driven to its potential.

jonnyozero3 · 03-31-2013, 06:40 PM

Fun video, great to see. But that 997 was not being pushed to its limits.

frs@ 9/10 vs gt3@ 7/10?

Solid driving either way.

Reminds me of top gears m3 v prius
