To be listed on drag times you have to disclose mods , provide verified time skips etc . People are running against the clock not each other .FYI look up ind cars times not web links to races .
I was NOT referring to the website you are using. I was referring to the video I posted above... The video of the 911 Turbo S vs the 458 Italia going down the long drag strip with 1/4 mile and 1-mile times listed at the end of the video. Which is why I said DragTimesInfo, NOT DragTimes.com...

As I said previously, times posted must be compared with respect to what conditions they were set under. Humidity, altitude, temperature, track conditions etc. That's why shootouts like GT Board are so good, the conditions are equal for all the cars. So times/results are comparable. No excuses.

In this comparison test done by C&D the Porsche 911 achieves 2.7 seconds to 60, to 100 mph in 6.4, through the quarter-mile in 10.8 at 129! The 458 flashes to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 11.5 at 125 mph... Comaparable as the tests are done by the same people, on the same track and under similar circumstances.

All of this seems, to me, to back up the GT Board results
In the videos on GT board it's a 911 turbo PDK vs the Manhart car , not an S by the way. Just admit a 458 Italia is faster than a 997 Turbo non S from a roll .
