Supercar Showdown! Porsche Gt3 Rs Races Ferrari 360 Modena // This Vs That

Welcome back to what could very well be the pièce de résistance of this entire series. That's right, folks, the race you've all been clamoring for – two non-drag cars duking it out on an airstrip. You've probably had your excitement brewing ever since you glimpsed the electrifying thumbnail. But hold on, we can't forget to tip our hats to NOS, the energy drink that made this showdown possible. With that said, it's time to dive into the exhilarating world of non-drag drag racing – brought to you by the good folks at NOS.

The Contenders: Unlikely Warriors of the Track

Our first contender, known to many from various exploits, hails from the diverse locales of Queens, Long Island, and now Long Beach. Vincenzo, better known as Vin, is here to give us the lowdown on his formidable steed – a 2010 Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS.

This Porsche packs a punch with a 3.8-liter flat-six engine, spitting out 450 horsepower right out of the factory. But this car is no ordinary GT3 RS. It's been bestowed with GMG three-to-one equal length headers, high-flow cats, and a jcr titanium exhaust. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Vin's been hard at work upgrading the chassis and suspension. Every bushing has been swapped out for spherical or heim joints, it's rocking jrz RS Pro three-way coilovers, and those girodisc steel conversion brake rotors will make your heart skip a beat. It's even got RS 4.0 canards, a lightweight flywheel, and clutch from the RS 4.0. Let's not forget about the Factory carbon bucket seats, a 991 manual steering wheel, and a GT2 RS shift knob. It's like a tech-savvy Frankenstein's monster!

But here's the kicker, this car is all about the "spec." It sports a leather dash with red stitching – a rarity, might I add. And with painted center console and more red stitching on the seats, it screams driver-centric. Forget all the modern bells and whistles; this 2010 beast is the essence of raw and analog – the ultimate driving experience.

The visual package is equally exhilarating – a grey-black-red ensemble that oozes aggression. The GT3 RS gets deeper front lips, aftermarket front fender flares for a wider track, and a center-exit exhaust. To top it all off, it rolls on center lock wheels that scream performance and passion. In an era where cars are packed with tech, this Porsche stands as a raw, visceral relic.

Ferrari's Fiery F360: Dream Car #2

Our second contender needs no introduction in the automotive world. Brian Scotto, co-founder of the legendary Hoonigan, is here with his beloved Ferrari F360. It's his second dream car, right after his Porsche 911.

This prancing horse packs a 3.6-liter Ferrari V8 that churns out 400 horsepower. It may seem small compared to today's standards, but it's a symphony of engineering and sound. Sporting a Fab speed exhaust setup, carbon air boxes, and headers, Brian's F360 brings the melody of the Italian stallion to life.

But what sets this Ferrari apart is the suspension. The complicated stock setup has been swapped for jrz's all around with external reservoirs, offering a sublime blend of smooth rides and sharp handling. What more could you ask for in a dream car?

The F360 is also no slouch in the looks department. With the ngt kit, it looks the part of a true sports car. It even has challenge tradali seats for the racing vibe, and being a tall guy-friendly supercar is a rare feat. These features make it clear – it's more than just a sports car; it's a race car for the road.

To complete the ensemble, the F360 boasts a paddle shift transmission, providing the perfect blend of a manual experience with quick, precise shifts.

Clash of the Titans

Now, we arrive at the grand spectacle, the race of the century. Vin's Porsche GT3 RS vs. Brian's Ferrari F360. One's a newer, faster beast, while the other is a classic with the soul of a race car. But, as we've learned from the movies, it's not always the underdog who prevails.

The first race was pure automotive symphony, a testament to the joys of internal combustion. The exhaust notes sang in harmony with the engines as these two incredible machines dueled it out on the airstrip.

But the contest had its quirks. A 500-feet race turned into a 1000-feet race due to some unexpected circumstances, making the final result a bit hazy. However, one thing was clear – the Porsche GT3 RS had the upper hand.

The second race brought more clarity, but not without its surprises. Brian's unique launch strategy added an unexpected twist, shifting the car into neutral if it idled for too long. In the end, Vin's Porsche emerged victorious in both races.

The Thrilling Conclusion

The Porsche GT3 RS may have secured the win, but both cars, each bearing the soul of their respective makers, made for a spectacular showdown. It was a clash of legends, an automotive showdown for the ages. And, win or lose, they both remained symbols of automotive excellence.

This race not only provided high-octane entertainment but also demonstrated the passion and dedication that car enthusiasts have for their prized possessions. It's not just about the horsepower or the speed; it's about the experience, the emotion, and the stories these machines carry with them.

So there you have it, a race to remember, one that will be talked about among car enthusiasts for years to come. Until the next thrilling showdown, keep the engines revving and the tires burning!

And with that, we'll wrap up this electrifying episode, leaving you with the lingering sounds of two incredible machines battling it out on the asphalt.
