what make a Porsche fast car when HP is like other cars?

Answer 1

A Z06 Vette will make it look slow.

Answer 2

Racing isn't all about horsepower. If you look at a Porsche's numbers they have decent horsepower and torque, but the torque is constant through the rpm range. Their drivetrain is also amazing. The '06ish Porsche Turbo was tested in Germany on a frozen runway and it kept grip well above 150mph. Try flooring a Z06 when its icy and you'll end up with a bad day and a photo of your car on wreckedexotics.com!!!

Answer 3

Horse Power alone does'nt make a car a faster one. There are many other criterias for a car to be a fast running animal

If you see Porches' cars with a close eye you will find perfect aerodynamics and fine German Engineering. Proper Aerodynamics can make any car (even if its not powerfull also) to give its maximum limits. So according to me its the Aerodynamicity of the Porche makes it a faster one rather than the Horse power......NMN

Answer 4

Power isn't as important as overall balance. The 911's are near perfectly balanced cars that do more than go fast in a straight line, and are engineered for an engaging and comfortable driving experience in a wide variety of conditions.

Answer 5

engine location puts weight on the rear wheels where american style cars have engine in front and a gas tank over the rear wheels.(not as much weight) Also with the engine being mid/rear engine the car hugs the road better around the corners.

Answer 6

Because its engines are advanced in engineering. They are 10 yrs ahead of their time. The aerodynamics, weight, and their weight distribution also help make it faster and better handling than most cars.

Answer 7

fine German engineering, aerodynamics, stability and lightweight materials (have you ever held a Porsche wheelnut? amazing, they'd blow away in the wind. even the jack weighs next to nothing.). amongst other things i'm sure.

Answer 8

They are very light, and very aerodynamic

and to the comment about the vette, probably is faster, but you also have a big V8 in it
