Porsche 911 Carrera S (992) vs Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

The two cars I want are competing

As you can see from the fact that I write this Porsche blog that I think "Porsche 911, I like it too much" every day and just spilling Porsche love, I just love Porsche 911.

I live a life screaming "Porsche 911, the best" every day, and of course I also want the new Porsche 911 model 992.

But, in fact, there is a car that I want from before that to the next, and that is ...

Some of you who read this blog regularly may remember it, but the "car I want next" is ... Hi, what should I hide? That's right, the Camaro is ZL1 1LE, which the American manufacturer "Chevrolet", which has nothing to do with Porsche, is proud of! !!

Hmmm, it's always cool! Here is ↓

Already this year, I started thinking that I really wanted it, and I kept thinking "I want it", and in a blink of an eye, nine months have passed.

As a result of various studies, (The ZL1 1LE model is not sold through authorized retailers in Japan.) I have come to the conclusion that it would be better to buy a used car in good condition that came out in the United States, so I have been waiting for the encounter with a good Camaro ZL1 1LE, but due to the influence of Corona etc. The movement of the used car market in the United States is slowing down ...

I want to see you soon, Mr. Camaro.

I want to see you, but they don't come out at all. I wonder if I should meet ZL1 1LE yet.

Well, I would like to continue to wait leisurely for this. I don't think it's a good idea to meet in a hurry, and when I meet, I'm sure I'll meet unexpectedly. I'm the type who believes that encounter is fate, so ^^

By the way, I found people who are competing with the two Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 that I really want in a 1/4 mile drag race.

No! Don't let those two beloved cars compete (laughs). I want to know the result, I don't want to know ^^

Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S

The Porsche that appears this time is the Carmine Red Carrera S of type 992. 3 liter flat 6, 450 horsepower.

• 

• 

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

And the Camaro ZL1 has a 6.2-liter V8 engine and 650 horsepower. No, if you just look at this number, isn't it Camaro's overwhelming victory? I would think.

But the Camaro is about 227 kg heavier than the 992. Furthermore, in addition to this weight, the fact that it is a front engine is disadvantageous for drag racing? It is also said to be.

Looking at the numbers alone, the Camaro seems to be faster, but the other party is the Porsche I love (Oh, love didn't matter?).

No, I don't know what will happen anymore ^^!

Then, I would like to take a look at it. Drag race of Porsche 992 and Camaro ZL1.

Even so, it's the best sight for me to have the two cars I want side by side! !!

It would have been better if Camaro had ZL1 1LE.

Then the race started!

Boo ~ n! !! Two cars to fly. What? ?? ?? Porsche, fast! Too fast!

Start dash already! With that feeling, I will pull the Camaro apart with an overwhelming difference from the beginning.

No, Porsche 911 is too cool, isn't it? !! !! (Oh, after all Porsche love comes out first !!)

The goal is the cone in front of this, but at the moment Porsche 992 scored, the Camaro entered the frame of the same screen and there was a difference that could not be seen.

A few seconds later, Camaro finally reached the goal. How different it is! !! !!

However, this race, Porsche 911, started with "launch control" first (I wonder if I also used the sportsless button after that?).

According to the Camaro driver, "No, the ZL1 doesn't have a launch control function, so you shouldn't compare it with the launch!"

Certainly Porsche 911The function of the sports response button is really amazingI've seen that from other races in the past, so I can see the difference that makes a difference.

The driver of Porsche 911 was also convinced (?) For the time being, and then decided to race purely without using special functions such as launch control start.

So, start ~.

Oh oh. The battle is much closer than before.

The Porsche driver also said "Yes, yes" and felt a sense of urgency that he would be overtaken! The Camaro also feels like "I can go, I can go!"

Considering this, I am impressed again that Porsche's launch control start is really amazing.

As a result, although it was considerably closer than the first race, it was still a Porsche 911 victory.

Well, after all Porsche 911 is amazing. like. (← I'm sorry for the unnecessary comments (laughs))

After this, let's continue to compete in the rolling start! However, the result is also ...

Although it was still a close margin, Porsche 911 won.

Even with the Camaro having 650 horsepower, it was the Porsche 911 that the Porsche 911 (Carrera S) could easily win so quickly. I'm sure there were various reasons behind the victory, such as the calculated aerodynamics ^^

And, on the contrary, "Camaro-san ... After all, if you buy this, it's not ZL1 or ZL1 1LE, but you have to use Hennessy tuning ZL1 The Exorcist (1,000 horsepower)?"

Well, no, it's a lie. The exorcist is really cool, it's really nice, and I really admire it, but I definitely can't handle it ~ ^^.

Do you watch car videos in the bathroom (laughs)?

By the way, it doesn't matter again, but James who is driving the Camaro in this video.

This person first says, "In order to beat Porsche, we need the support of you who are watching this video from the toilet now!"

On the other hand, quite a lot of people commented on the video, "I was watching from the toilet!" And "I was watching from the toilet!" And "I understand why I'm watching from the toilet." It was interesting that it said "What ?!" (laughs). Many people watch car videos in the bathroom ~ (laughs)? ??

Furthermore, because this Camaro was equipped with a tree-shaped fragrance that Americans often put in the car, many people also lost "Black Ice (the name of the scent of black fragrance)". That's why! "" Black ice wasn't useful! "

Here is the video. As expected Porsche 911!

But last but not least, I also like the Camaro ZL1 ~. Come to me soon ~ (seriously)! !!
