It's funny you say that.  I have two customers that are best friends with each other.  One of em has an 07 911 Turbo with about 700 horsepower, the other guy has an 03 Turbo with about 650.  They are at the dragstrip several times a month.  Recently they just added a corvette and a viper to their stable for road courses.  They don't like driving the Porsches on a road coarse.  I think they got it backwards but what do I know.  Oh and they do around 12.5s to 12.7s. 
What gets me is they have all that power and technology...

and they're turning times like an early 60s Ford V8...

that had nowhere near 700hp.

Yeah tell me about it.  Those cars aren't made for the drag strip but you would think they could be faster.  When driving the cars they push you back into the seat harder than anything I have been in though.

700hp would do that I guess.   ;D

Yeah, I've been told that may have something to do with it.
