Who’s fastest? The Porsche 911 or the Yamaha R1

Isopo — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 20:28:48 +0000

I realize some bike fanatics will not enjoy the commentary by Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, but I love it. The whole vid is pure entertainment, including the excellent driving. At the end, the beautiful Porsche 911 beats the sexy Yamaha R1 to the punch in the final straight — but we can pretty much see both vehicles are better on different grounds. Another track could well give another outcome.

Still — like I said: pure entertainment. Enjoy!
