00:00I'm super excited because I'm sat on a runway in the brand new 911 Carrera GTS and next to me is

00:08the previous generation 911 Carrera GTS and we're going to have a drag race to see how their

00:13performance compares over the standing quarter mile. So to give the previous generation model

00:18a fighting chance we've got someone to drive that car who has a bit of experience in racing

00:23and racing Porsches in particular. Let's go over to him. Hey Mark, how you doing? Very good,

00:43well let's see how this plays out, right? Yeah, you've got plenty of experience but so have I

00:48and obviously it's all going to be down to skill and nothing to do with the cars at all or the new

00:53technology. It's going to have everything to do with it. Yeah, well you need a lot of talent to

00:58drive in a straight line, mate, so you're well versed in that. You're well versed in that. Yeah,

02:32though. The data doesn't lie. Hey, listen, mate. I mean, I think it's only fair I get to go in the

02:41new car. Come on, please. All right. Okay, I'm not going to make it easy for him. Let's just move

02:50the seat into a really awkward position because I know he's quite tall. There you go. Good luck.
