Porsche 911 Carerra S Cabriolet Racing

This late model Porsche 911 Carerra S Cabriolet racing at the Hallett Race Track near Tulsa, Oklahoma, appeared to be completely stock and un-modified. If this is the case, then the Porsche is still a very quick sports car with a 0-60 time in the low 4 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph! Of course that is going to feel even quicker in a convertible Porsche 911 as opposed to a coupe version. I ...

Acura NSX vs Dodge Viper ACR

This Acura NSX vs Dodge Viper video was captured at the Hallett Race Track in Oklahoma. The NSX powered through the track and passed a few of the slower cars and Green Dodge Viper GTS didn't overtake it in the race. This Acura NSX was obviously highly modified to be race ready.

Black Lamborghini Murcielago SV
