Link no workee, Dwain. Is this about the 250MPH run on the salt flats?
Let's try again. This is actually an old video that's making the rounds again. A Peugeot, Porsche, and a McLaren. The first two get handicap starts.

OH. Hadn't seen that one before. Reminds me of the comparison between a hot Porsche and a Top Fuel dragster - if the Porsche crossed the starting line at 200MPH with the fueler starting as the Porsche passed, the fueler would pass the Porsche about half-track, winning easily.
Nope. The fueler will only nip the Porsche at the finish line and then only if he turns 4.499 or quicker which very seldom one does. Still it's amazing that they will be that close.
Not what I heard, but I bow to Mr. Harbit - the reigning king of Studebaker racing.
At one time, adjustable wings were allowed - until one flew off at the Spanish GP, with tragic results. (late 1960s?
It's a fairly simple math problem
200mph = 293.333 feet per second. Divide 1320 feet by that and you see the Porsch will get there in 4.5 seconds.Join the Discussion
