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. I would probably rather own the Dodge Viper as opposed to the NSX, although no doubt both are amazingly fast cars ...

Shelby Cobra 427 Racing Corvettes

These videos and pictures of this AC Shelby 427 Cobra racing Corvettes and other performance cars were taken at the Hallett Race Track near Tulsa, OK. The Shelby Cobra sounded amazing as it powered through the race course and overtaking other race cars.  I'm not sure if this was an original Shelby 427 Cobra or a replica Cobra, but I would imagine that it is a replica as those are far more ...
