One fast Porsche!!

[Thirdgen89GTA]

You can argue all day long, pull up the specs, 996 and 997 911 Turbo's are AWD. The AWD Turbo model was introduced with the 996 in the year 2000. Before that, the 993's were RWD.

Also, the 911 GT3's (996 and 997) are RWD and Naturally aspirated while the 996/997 911 Turbo's are AWD.

Go look up the specs, argue if you want.

On street tires, with no warm up, and with a shitty launch that time is impressive, the MPH is also impressive. Yes, you can go faster for cheaper, but 150mph at the end of the 1/4 mile is damned fast.

An no, with modern diffs rolling backward isn't gonna lock the diff. They are one way diffs that will lock the wheels on acceleration if torque is applied to the ring gear. The difference is when it locks and how it locks it. Zexel Torsions lock it before slippage, as do Viscous differentials, Cone/Clutch type differentials begin to lock only after the right or left wheel begin to slip.

Lockers are lockers, and a spool is a spool. Lockers are either locked or unlocked mechanically (or through an electronic solenoid) and the axle must stop rotating before it can be locked/unlocked. A spool is locked 100% of the time.

No road going production sports car in this day and age is going to come with a locker or a spool because it would cause some serious drivability issues in low traction conditions (snow/ice/sand/etc..) Also, a locker or spool is undesirable under road race condtions, some slippage needs to occur to allow for traction during cornering.

There are faster RWD cars too.

But that porsche isn't too bad for being a non-professionally driven car on street tires. His trap speed is high compared to his ET.
