C8 Corvette vs 992 Carrera S vs 2021 Toyota Supra // DRAG RACE, ROLL RACE & LAP TIMES

you're watching throttle house i'm thomas and i'm james and today we're at our test track for a drag race look at that and no drag race is complete without an underdog which today takes the form of the supra which for 2021 has received an update giving it more power 335 horses becomes 382 and 365 pound-feet of torque becomes 368. all in a tight 3400 pound rear-wheel drive package and it's the cheapest yeah but how about that c8 though sure it's a little bit heavier and a bit more expensive but with 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque this rapid blue exotic looking monster is equipped with an insane launch control system that has left far scarier things than a supra in the dust on our airstrip and this time i'm driving it because i want to win but he might not because i'll be piloting this stunning almost twice the price 911 carrera s a car that we had so much fun with recently when we reviewed it in manual spec like the supra it gets two less cylinders in the corvette and less power 443 horsepower according to porsche but it's the lightest out of all three somehow and it too is blessed with a phenomenal launch control so this is exciting [Music] if you're new to throttle house we do car reviews track tests and quite a lot of messing about so subscribe hit the bell [Music] in the 911 carrera s rear-wheel drive like those guys a little bit more power than the supra a little bit less power than c8 but thomas i don't think he's uh counting on the fact that i have the uh de pogo fluff dipper the typically of the triba and not only do i have the typical fukutiba i also have a boost button which i can press just before i launch so i've got a solid launch control i've got porsche engineering on my side i'm not scared of that blue bug that italian copycat this is german through and through i'm a little bit scared okay c8 corvette the supra which by the way is driven by our friend mark hacking from the globe and mail globe drive um i'm not worried about the 911 i am because this has the reason this corvette seems to win so many drag races this year is because it is mid-engine so the weights over the rear tires and it has a really good gearing and a crazy launch control system so it just goes off the line but that 911 is rear-engined and also has really good launch control and some sort of an extra boost function that james didn't tell me about until right now so hopefully i can win i love this car i love the c8 though i i just uh i just i just really really really want to be in a 911 with a car that costs significantly less than that go and i'm away oh my god oh but the 911 is so fast huge win huge win for the 911 205 across the line no wow what do they put this is just the s i had a bad start there oh man i started a split second late i tried where did you go i don't know i went for a coffee i got a good start and everything and you had a bad start and you still did that well i just i just took off slightly late because i pressed the boost button a second too late why don't we do it again okay we'll do it again and then i'll beat you by more okay and we'll give the supra another chance because mark's not looking too happy yeah okay here we go round two round two yep yep we are ready and go perfect start bye bye corbin see you later oh the 911's just got some serious legs at the top end look at it go yes it feels good to win oh 208 across the line there oh man this isn't even the turbo what numbers are they saying this has because it's not true wow this is fast i don't think that i could make this any more perfect than that just was right there no this thing goes i i've i haven't seen the thing go off quite like that at this at this strip it's just the s this isn't even the turbo that's it's absurd that is i cannot believe how fast that thing is oh it feels good to see you in my wing mirror again what do you mean again i got to win one race before the do you want to try a roll and see if the gearing and the launch control sure being removed why not might as well miserable thomas is the best thomas he likes being moody he likes it the supra well it looked good it looked good while losing i've said it before and i'll say it again that 911 carrera s is too fast it does not need to be that quick in a straight line it is like if you told me that was the 911 turbo i'd 100 believe you all right i'm gonna do a roll race as we drive by the start line and go oh that was better for the corvette but it's not good enough oh i'm closer but no that thing just has it's so quick [Music] oh my god as i figured the gearing helped the gearing helped but not enough yes yes yes yes [Music] i listen i just said to the camera on the way back there that car is too fast too fast it does not need to be that fast that is what a loser would say i'm sorry it's just the carrera s the night if you told me that was a nice it's my time knowing you you've said it's just an amg it's just the carrera s you're the scourge of car enthusiasts just respect i just i just want these cars to be you just want to win yes that's well that's the main thing yes okay well you said that that is one of the best handling cars you've had on our track yes and the time proves it yep so go and sit hot laps in this and then we'll see what's happening okay okay as promised a hot lap of the 911 carrera s as our rules state i only get three hot laps in each car this at the best time i can and you're watching the fastest lap now as we saw the carrera s is stupid fast in a straight line but the question is how does it stack up around our track because while most of the cars near the top of the leaderboard including that c8 are on a sticky michelin tire this 911 came on a goodyear eagle f1 because it's one of the approved tires that 911s can be sold on it's a sticky tire no doubt but in my experience it falls short compared to the track specific michelin ps4s or cup 2. thankfully as you're seeing here this 911 was one of the best handling cars i've driven around this track once i figured out the balance of how to use the brakes to turn the car into the corner i found it to be an incredibly precise and adjustable tool and obviously on the straights it just pulls like a freight train i will say that it's not nearly as lively as other cars i've driven around here it's just so well sorted it's a bit uneventful even with all the traction systems turned off and in the sportiest setting it was so well rooted to the pavement but even though the breakaway characteristics of the chassis and the goodyear tire were really predictable i did feel like mid corner speeds were a bit let down by the tires okay let's see how thomas did a 1 12 33 that's nice and high on the list but actually a little bit lower than we were expecting i have a feeling that on a slightly better tire the 911 carrera s could be right up there if you do want to see the hot lap in the c8 you can find that in our c8 vs gt500 video anyway we hope you had fun we certainly did and given its success on the strip today we might have brought out another cheeky little thing from michigan to fight the 911 so stay tuned for that you

Ever since base 911s went turbocharged, They’ve been absolute drag monsters.

[u/Bland_Lavender]

The Porsche looks so much less aggressive and angry than the other two cars in the thumbnail.

[u/imped4now]

There goes Porsche defying physics yet once again.

[u/blue_bomber697]

I thought it was going to be way closer than it was between the C2S and the C8. Both are rated for a low 11 second 1/4 mile. Porsche always seems to make magic horsepower in their cars for sure.

[u/Gigaweeb]

Both the supra and the C8 are fast cars, no doubt about it but my god the Porsche's ability to put down power is incredible. Guess that's what a rwd, rear engine layout gets you. At this point anytime I see anything else in a drag race against one (stock vs stock) I almost think "okay so what's coming second".

(I don't think Porsche's are absolutely unbeatable but lately the YouTube review landscape would sure make one think that)

[u/digistil]

Every time I see a Porsche in a drag race, I think "IDK, this is going to be close... I would be surprised if it just loses." I have yet to learn my lesson.

[u/HelpMeGetMeOutOfHere]

skip to 3:30 for the drag race

[u/Echo1201]

u/Jamesthrottlehouse u/throttlehouseTH have you guys considered pitting the 2021 Supra against the C7 Corvette? I sometimes hear opinions that the Supra is still outclassed by the older Stingray / Z51 for a similar MSRP, so I'm curious about how they actually compare on the track.
