00:00I'm super excited because I'm sat on a runway in the brand new 911 Carrera GTS and next to me is
00:08the previous generation 911 Carrera GTS and we're going to have a drag race to see how their
00:13performance compares over the standing quarter mile. So to give the previous generation model
00:18a fighting chance we've got someone to drive that car who has a bit of experience in racing
00:23and racing Porsches in particular. Let's go over to him. Hey Mark, how you doing? Very good,
00:31mate. Very good. So what do you think is going to happen here? Have you got a chance? I'm born
00:37ready but I'm a bit nervous about what you're in. Looks quick. And so you should be. So,
00:43well let's see how this plays out, right? Yeah, you've got plenty of experience but so have I
00:48and obviously it's all going to be down to skill and nothing to do with the cars at all or the new
00:53technology. It's going to have everything to do with it. Yeah, well you need a lot of talent to
00:58drive in a straight line, mate, so you're well versed in that. You're well versed in that. Yeah,
01:04let's see who can press the accelerator the hardest. Come on. Three, two, one, go.
01:08Three, two, one. Yes. Come on. Wow. That hooked up. Yeah, Mark. What do you think about my driving
01:31skills? I do like your anticipation, son. What we're going to do now is have a rolling race
01:36over the half mile. So we'll do a roll on in second gear from 50 kilometres an hour. Are you
01:41ready? Let's go, Matt. Sounds good. Everything's ready here. Okay, come on then. Let's get into
01:48second, get to 50. Right, here we go. Three, two, one, go. Whoa. Come on. Oh my gosh. I am loving
02:08this. How was that for you, Mark? It was wonderful for me. Yeah. I can't match you,
02:26mate. He did a little bit more throttle bottom end. Well, that was fun. I'll tell you what,
02:32though. The data doesn't lie. Hey, listen, mate. I mean, I think it's only fair I get to go in the
02:41new car. Come on, please. All right. Okay, I'm not going to make it easy for him. Let's just move
02:50the seat into a really awkward position because I know he's quite tall. There you go. Good luck.
03:00Thank you. Thank you. He's even shut the door on me. Oh, what a gentleman. Thank you. Thank you.
03:12Come on, start the race. Start the race. Come on, quick. What a combo.
03:20Three, two, one. Oh no. Oh my God. I think I've just been found out. You just took off. I had
03:47no chance. This is quick. This is quick, but that is wow. This is hooked up and departed.
