This Is Why You Don't Race A Porsche GT2 Against A Carrera GT

Some people never learn. Last week we showed you what happens when you take liberties with a Porsche 996 GT2 on a hillclimb. Surely that'd prove a 911 GT2 is not a car to provoke?

Here however, we see a Porsche 997 GT2 owner chasing down a £300k Carrera GT. We're on the Nurburgring, dodging traffic and supposedly 'not racing'. The CGT has a power advantage from its 5.7-litre V10: 605bhp plays the GT2's 523bhp from it's twin-turbo flat six. But the 911 has more modern brakes, rear-engined traction, and monster torque from those two huge turbos. How does this titanic battle play out? Check out the video below to find out, but it's safe to say you need to be way on top of your save-the-day skills if you're planning on taming a 911 GT2.

It's not called The Widowmaker for nothing...
