@@zatchidz that's not the point, Alex isn't talking about technology, he's talking about the performance. I agree with him, it's actually really impressive.

On the street that is a BEAST of a friggin' truck.
the question is: at what speed the turbo passed the cybertruck? CT tops out at 114mph... and it sorta looks like that was the passing speed, meaning, the CT was QUICKER.
@@DaInfamous0ne Elon said since day one “better performance than a sports car”. Sports cars ain’t about a straight line, let’s go do actual sports car stuff if you wanna make mouthy claims Elon.
Yeah, everybody forgetting that 20 years ago, you wouldn't even be asking the question as to whether a guiant fugly truck could compete with a porsche anything. Our whole perception of fast has moved.
Except the drag coefficient is lower than all trucks (except a Rivian) and lower than a lot of passenger cars. Just cause the shape annoys you doesn’t make what you say fact.
When a giant heavy truck ... Regardless of huge power and torque. Staying side by side with the 911 turbo monster. That's not just an accomplishment that is totally astounding.
Well, it’s not regardless, it’s precisely because of. Stick a fuckton of motor in a fridge, and even a fridge would stay side by side. The real question is what kind of a car experience the fridge gives you.
No, it's not. It't the nature of an electric motors with instant torque but it can't win an actual race (actuar race, not drag race) vs a conventional gas engine
Love that you guys get to the point of the video within the first minute or so. Not 20 minutes of preamble and screwing around, get to the point! All jokes aside, I used to be all in on ev, but these days a car like a classic 911 turbo just are so right!
Still waiting for Tom and Jerry do an on-foot drag race. J: "I go to the gym, and Thomas doesn't have lunch control." 😁🇬🇧 T: :looks down: "I got this." ✊🇨🇦
Before I click play and possibly forget, just want to say I'm patiently waiting on the GTD review. Please make it extensive and in-depth as possible, can't get enough of that car.
Its just a big electric motor that in a stainless steel triangular box that is very energy inefficient. Trolleys and electric buses have existed for ages and they also pull nicely. But are made to be energy efficient so they aren’t unnecessarily dangerous like the cybertruck.
Cyber truck is super impressive the fact that it comes that close to one of Porsches fastest accelerating cars for less then half the price and it’s a truck that can sit 5 people drive itself and tow props to Tesla truly is a beast
But you're still comparing an enormous stainless steel truck to the top spec of one of the most beloved sports cars. That you've been forced to do that is a giant win for the Cybertruck.
@@kenhiett5266 In what way? If you're trying to transform this into some vague popularity contest the Porsche is still lightyears ahead in every metric.
@@kenhiett5266 You can assume whatever you'd like about my character or my opinion of the Cybertruck (which I haven't mentioned at all here; not sure why you're assuming that I "hate" the Cybertruck) but I'm simply trying to understand your vague statement hence the question of which you're unable to answer. Will say though, you're right about one thing. You're clearly not like me since I don't resort to ad hominem logical fallacies when asked a question.
@@vxyz5219 You missed my point entirely. I'm explicity not making this a poularity contest. The point I'm making is that both are engineering feats in their own very different ways.
GM and Tesla are switching over to using Wheel Torque, because it's a better metric. That is what provides the force shoving the vehicle forward, so it's the one the matters. Comparing Engine torque numbers has always been inherently flawed, but it was tradition, so that's what everyone is still comfortable with.
But wheel torque isn't accurate either because it's not linear (even with an electric motor). 1st gear is going to be super high and it'll go down as the transmission shifts up.
@@beanapprentice1687 100% agreed. That's an even better metric. But that would be too much detail for majority of people, so I don't see that ever happening.
The current method isn’t flawed; it worked for the given time period. Over the last century, we’ve mainly had two transmission choices and many different gear ratio options. The only static would be the output of the engine amongst them. This works in the absence of a constant or standard.
@@User.Joshua Different vehicle models have different transmission and final drive ratios. Therefore, a comparison of Engine torque between them may be misleading. Admittedly it often is a reasonable approximation, but it falls apart in some situations. Comparing torque values between the gas and diesel engine options in pickup trucks for example. Whereas comparing peak wheel torque values would give a better approximation of acceleration potential. Granted even that isn't a perfect metric because tractive force is then dependent on tire radius, which also varies between vehicles. But there is even more room for accuracy because next you would want to take into account vehicle mass, rolling resistance, and aerodynamic drag. As you can see, just about any metric most people would speak in terms of is an approximation. Wheel torque is just a more accurate approximation than Engine/eMotor torque but an approximation of peak vehicle acceleration rate none-the-less.
@@mhcosss actually, the Porsche begins to pull on the cybertruck at higher speeds because it has a higher power-to-weight ratio. Specifically, the cybertruck has a hp/kg ratio of 0.274, whereas the Porsche has a hp/kg ratio of 0.39, which is around 40% higher.
@@TheSteinbitt nope. See my other comment about power to weight ratio. The only reason why the cybertruck wins in the 8th mile is because it has better launch capabilities due to being electric.
I didn't feel they left at the same exact time, which I get is difficult. But would make it look a little worse than it is. But above 80, that turbo rips it a new asshole.
@@camonly849so the car that weighs a fraction of the cybertruck, that is designed and built solely as a high end sports car by a company that has spent decades designing and building high end sports cars, that costs more, was quicker once it hit 80……….brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Thank you TH a million times. I have literally been specifically searching for a 911 vs cybertruck drag races ever since Musk threw in that stunt. Thanks again, numbers don't lie
there isn't a scenario where i would pick the cybertruck over the 911, that said, its still a HUGE work truck, and a top end 911 just barely beat it. thats impressive no matter how you look at it
How many door bells you had to ring to find someone with a Turbo S in the garage😆 This thing is epic. As epic as it is expensive, but still. Regarding the Cybertruck, anything EV larger than a Golf is quite nonsense, so no comment on this (looks are cool, though)
@@TheGaangCT didn’t race a 911 Turbo S in the video, it was a base 911. This race doesn’t change those results either. It’s clear a CT would destroy a 911 Base actually.
I love how the Cybertruck rusts, snaps axles, gets stuck, didnt meet the expectations in range, in price, so media has to promote it drag racing 24/7 😂
We should make a race between the two cars on a winded back road! Actually probably not as the truck doesn't do corners! I'm pretty sure I could destroy that cybertruck in a Honda Civic on a country road!
Is this a case of the top speed being limited by/topping out on the Tesla or that the 911 is actually accelerating past it at its best? Wish we coulda seen the speedos. Fun video!

@@atruetone again, it's because of how EV motors work, not because Tesla has magic technology.
@@zatchidz that's not the point, Alex isn't talking about technology, he's talking about the performance. I agree with him, it's actually really impressive. When they opened with a Turbo S, I was like "Here we go, the Porsche will just school it, this won't even be fair - where's the damn 911T?" and was thoroughly impressed by the results. On the street that is a BEAST of a friggin' truck.
Seems like it took til about 85mph to pass the 6500+ lbs CT. A stunning achievement...regardless of how one feels about EVs/Tesla/Elon.
I needed answers and this video provided me with them. Thank you
The glamor shot of the fingerprints on the rear quarter is classic cybertruck.
the question is: at what speed the turbo passed the cybertruck? CT tops out at 114mph... and it sorta looks like that was the passing speed, meaning, the CT was QUICKER.
😂😂😂😂😂 u Need a doc.
Yeah, nah...
One is a piece of art other is fridge on wheels 😂
What a comparison. The Cybertruck against a Sportec 911 Turbo S would be interesting 😉
Now this is going to be EXCITING!!!! 🎉
LAP TIME. Actual sports car stuff, that’s what we need.
Why?
@@DaInfamous0ne Elon said since day one “better performance than a sports car”. Sports cars ain’t about a straight line, let’s go do actual sports car stuff if you wanna make mouthy claims Elon.
It’s a truck what do you expect will happen?
@@GT4viper holy you do know that that its a truck right. next thing you gonna start saying is to take the porsche offroading
Porsche never said the 911 was a better off roader than a pickup truck. I most just want a generous helping of reality to humble some Elon fanboysz.
pushing a gigantic stainless steel brick through the air at that kind of velocity is still just mind numbing - thanks for the vid guys
Yeah, everybody forgetting that 20 years ago, you wouldn't even be asking the question as to whether a guiant fugly truck could compete with a porsche anything. Our whole perception of fast has moved.
Except the drag coefficient is lower than all trucks (except a Rivian) and lower than a lot of passenger cars. Just cause the shape annoys you doesn’t make what you say fact.
It was great to see you guys at the VIP night at the Toronro Autoshow! Keep up the highly entertaining and informative content! 👏
"the Tesla Frigidaire" is what I'm calling all of these from now on. 😆
You can place the fridge magnets too, haha
@@danielneumann1681 Actually, you should place some on this thing, otherwise it will look lonelier than a fridge...
@@danielneumann1681 Omg, need to carry some random magnets around in my own car and stick them on cybertrucks(fridges) when I see them parked anywhere
@@timeslowingdown hahahahahaha
I like cyberdork. Or the elon is my daddy car
"I'm Thomas" "and I'm James!" "And this..."
IS AN AFFRONT TO BOTH GOD AND MAN
Would have loved a breaking test as well. Other than that, great video as always!
lol, the cybertruck will definitely break before the Turbo S!!!
What did you want to see broken?
@@Wolfwerx. lol!
Just don't break the Porsche. But yeah I'd like to see the Tesla broken in a destructive test.
TESLA regen is SUPERIOR to mechanical Breaking.
When a giant heavy truck ... Regardless of huge power and torque.
Staying side by side with the 911 turbo monster.
That's not just an accomplishment that is totally astounding.
THIS! AND winning in a 0 to 60 contest...everytime.
Well, it’s not regardless, it’s precisely because of. Stick a fuckton of motor in a fridge, and even a fridge would stay side by side. The real question is what kind of a car experience the fridge gives you.
No, it's not.
It't the nature of an electric motors with instant torque but it can't win an actual race (actuar race, not drag race) vs a conventional gas engine
loved it too death, I'm a huge life long Porsche fan. Well done boys!!!!!!
TESLA is Replacing PORSCHE sales.
Love that you guys get to the point of the video within the first minute or so. Not 20 minutes of preamble and screwing around, get to the point! All jokes aside, I used to be all in on ev, but these days a car like a classic 911 turbo just are so right!
Incredible that it’s even a comparison of anything related to that Turbo S.
That beeping was that Cyber truck going into code blue 💙 🤦🏿♂️😂🤣
It was nice meeting you in person at the auto show 😊
Still waiting for Tom and Jerry do an on-foot drag race.
J: "I go to the gym, and Thomas doesn't have lunch control." 😁🇬🇧
T: :looks down: "I got this." ✊🇨🇦
Ooooo I hope that red block is Z06 Corvette!!! My mouth is watering for this race!
I think it's a Lambo
@@redlinedrifts69 Yeah definitely looks like a Huracan.
So a Volvo 240, 740, 760 and so on. The red block.
I think its the Ferrari he was listening on Spotify 🙂
its the vette.!!!!!!!
Now this is a genius video idea, hats off to you guys!!!
WE NEED TRACKHAWK VS CYBERTRUCK VIDEO ASAP lol😂 but seriously dying to see that
Gosh, that Cybertruck is an Eyesore!
Happy valentines to the loneliest watching this on Valentine’s Day.
The Race starts at 2:45
Best Valentines upload ever. Porsche all day every day.
Before I click play and possibly forget, just want to say I'm patiently waiting on the GTD review. Please make it extensive and in-depth as possible, can't get enough of that car.
Went about as expected. Still freakin impressive, though.
The 911 Turbo performance is more impressive.
Nothing impressive about batteries spinning a motor. We've been doing that for over 100 years.
@@billnorblat4047You are dumb
what is impressive !? lol!!!
Its just a big electric motor that in a stainless steel triangular box that is very energy inefficient.
Trolleys and electric buses have existed for ages and they also pull nicely. But are made to be energy efficient so they aren’t unnecessarily dangerous like the cybertruck.
It’s insane that the cyber truck is almost 2X the curb weight and still came that close to winning
Cool video guys! It would've been fun to see the mph reached in that race...
Cybertruck, can be UPDATED overnight .
the Porsche cannot.
@@markplott4820so? 😂
Soooooo you slacked on the start in the porsche..... No matter. 🤣 4:05 bout time someone did this Thank you too!
Cyber truck is super impressive the fact that it comes that close to one of Porsches fastest accelerating cars for less then half the price and it’s a truck that can sit 5 people drive itself and tow props to Tesla truly is a beast
3:51
"You're watching Throttle House. I'm "Fuzzing" Thomas. And I'm James. "
How's the CT compare with a base Carrera? Probably what Porsche was used in the ad. Rather than the Apples and Oranges shown here.
"I'm Terence!.... And I'm James!.... And you're watching Throttle Park!"! - 03:51 😏👌🤣🤣🤣
😎🇬🇧
God that Cybertruck back is FUGLY next to the Porsche
But you're still comparing an enormous stainless steel truck to the top spec of one of the most beloved sports cars. That you've been forced to do that is a giant win for the Cybertruck.
@@kenhiett5266 In what way? If you're trying to transform this into some vague popularity contest the Porsche is still lightyears ahead in every metric.
@@vxyz5219 I'm not like you. I don't have to hate a Porsche to appreciate a completely different thing.
@@kenhiett5266 You can assume whatever you'd like about my character or my opinion of the Cybertruck (which I haven't mentioned at all here; not sure why you're assuming that I "hate" the Cybertruck) but I'm simply trying to understand your vague statement hence the question of which you're unable to answer.
Will say though, you're right about one thing. You're clearly not like me since I don't resort to ad hominem logical fallacies when asked a question.
@@vxyz5219 You missed my point entirely. I'm explicity not making this a poularity contest. The point I'm making is that both are engineering feats in their own very different ways.
I've been waiting for this video ever since I saw the launch event.
Love these crazy videos you guys make. Excellent!!!
GM and Tesla are switching over to using Wheel Torque, because it's a better metric. That is what provides the force shoving the vehicle forward, so it's the one the matters.
Comparing Engine torque numbers has always been inherently flawed, but it was tradition, so that's what everyone is still comfortable with.
What would be even better is if automakers published tractive force graphs.
But wheel torque isn't accurate either because it's not linear (even with an electric motor).
1st gear is going to be super high and it'll go down as the transmission shifts up.
@@beanapprentice1687 100% agreed. That's an even better metric. But that would be too much detail for majority of people, so I don't see that ever happening.
The current method isn’t flawed; it worked for the given time period. Over the last century, we’ve mainly had two transmission choices and many different gear ratio options. The only static would be the output of the engine amongst them. This works in the absence of a constant or standard.
@@User.Joshua Different vehicle models have different transmission and final drive ratios. Therefore, a comparison of Engine torque between them may be misleading. Admittedly it often is a reasonable approximation, but it falls apart in some situations. Comparing torque values between the gas and diesel engine options in pickup trucks for example. Whereas comparing peak wheel torque values would give a better approximation of acceleration potential.
Granted even that isn't a perfect metric because tractive force is then dependent on tire radius, which also varies between vehicles. But there is even more room for accuracy because next you would want to take into account vehicle mass, rolling resistance, and aerodynamic drag.
As you can see, just about any metric most people would speak in terms of is an approximation. Wheel torque is just a more accurate approximation than Engine/eMotor torque but an approximation of peak vehicle acceleration rate none-the-less.
Considering it's as aerodynamic (and as heavy!) as a house, that wasn't a poor show!
Aero isn’t too important at quarter mile speeds. What makes the truck impressive is how fast it accelerates for its weight.
@@beanapprentice1687that’s wrong, it’s hugely important, it’s why it looses quarter mile, but wins 1/8.
@@beanapprentice1687 aero is important. Its a large part of why the porsche starts really pulling away from it at higher speeds.
@@mhcosss actually, the Porsche begins to pull on the cybertruck at higher speeds because it has a higher power-to-weight ratio. Specifically, the cybertruck has a hp/kg ratio of 0.274, whereas the Porsche has a hp/kg ratio of 0.39, which is around 40% higher.
@@TheSteinbitt nope. See my other comment about power to weight ratio. The only reason why the cybertruck wins in the 8th mile is because it has better launch capabilities due to being electric.
I can't believe how that Cybertruck takes off. I had thought the Turbo S would just completely destroy it straight from launch. Very impressive
I didn't feel they left at the same exact time, which I get is difficult. But would make it look a little worse than it is. But above 80, that turbo rips it a new asshole.
@@camonly849 rips it a new what!!!?
got a bit of a head start but yeah, i thought it would be kind of equal.
@@camonly849so the car that weighs a fraction of the cybertruck, that is designed and built solely as a high end sports car by a company that has spent decades designing and building high end sports cars, that costs more, was quicker once it hit 80……….brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Thank you TH a million times. I have literally been specifically searching for a 911 vs cybertruck drag races ever since Musk threw in that stunt. Thanks again, numbers don't lie
Great video as always, glad to see the Porsche pull the win. The more I see the cyber truck the fuglier it gets!
Weird times when a new 911Turbo S is barely beating a new full-size American truck that’s 1/3 it’s price tag and twice it’s size.
That’s still amazing that it was that close of a race against a freaking turbo S.
Fr, plus the weight of the cyber truck
Can we get the Tesla Cybertruck vs Rivian R1T Quad-Motor🔥🔥🔥 this drag race will be a show down! Two very fast electric trucks!
there isn't a scenario where i would pick the cybertruck over the 911, that said, its still a HUGE work truck, and a top end 911 just barely beat it.
thats impressive no matter how you look at it
If a schoolbus length is "barely" beating someone in a race, then I barely beat a v8 mustang in a 4 cylinder fusion.
It should still stil ~3 inches lower and be more aerodynamic not like a fridge
How many door bells you had to ring to find someone with a Turbo S in the garage😆
This thing is epic. As epic as it is expensive, but still.
Regarding the Cybertruck, anything EV larger than a Golf is quite nonsense, so no comment on this (looks are cool, though)
People are so surprised a $300k sports car beat a $100k pickup truck
Side quest vs. Flagship
The truth is everyone fell for engagement viral marketing. Whether it was calculated or a happy accident, idk
$230k sports car, but yeah they are weirdly surprised because Elon musk said that the cyber truck won.
@@TheGaangCT didn’t race a 911 Turbo S in the video, it was a base 911. This race doesn’t change those results either. It’s clear a CT would destroy a 911 Base actually.
@@MrLSDownliner yes it would but the 911 base is actually the same price as the cyber truck lol
@@TheGaang It did beat a 911 while towing another 911. This is a different Porsche.
“I’ll tow you to the track if it’s within 30 miles!” Lol
I love how the Cybertruck rusts, snaps axles, gets stuck, didnt meet the expectations in range, in price, so media has to promote it drag racing 24/7 😂
We should make a race between the two cars on a winded back road! Actually probably not as the truck doesn't do corners!
I'm pretty sure I could destroy that cybertruck in a Honda Civic on a country road!
@@frasersutherland6837 100%
Finally. Someone does a real drag race on a real 1/4 mile track. We all knew the Tesla drag race was a farce
you do know this is a trubo s right. there's a big difference from trubo s from base. one is pretty much super car territory.
Fridge vs vacuum
Facts!!!!
Is this a case of the top speed being limited by/topping out on the Tesla or that the 911 is actually accelerating past it at its best? Wish we coulda seen the speedos. Fun video!
