The Porsche 911 GT3 RS PDK and the Callaway Chevrolet Corvette Z06 could hardly be more different. However, this only means that when the two beasts are thrown at each other on the Nurburgring, the spectacle is guaranteed.
This is what happened during a recent Touristenfahrten (Tourist Days) session, which saw the 991 and the C6 playing the Green Hell game.
The Zuffenhausen machine plays the role of the camera car, with the Porsche chasing the 'Vette on the infamous German circuit.
The battle isn't without its risky moments, as you'll notice when the slab of America exits the Carousel. It looks like the guy behind the wheel decides to get on the power early, with the rear end stepping out - if you happen to be in a hurry, you'll find the intense moment at the 6:40 point of the clip below.
As for the technical side of this battle, we'll remind you that the 991-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a car that can lap the Ring in 7:20.
Nevertheless, the Neunelfer we have here does pack a few light mods, so we can expect the track took to be even quicker than the chronograph number mentioned above.
As for the 'Vette, keep in mind that this Callaway jewel is a manual monster, so the guy behind the wheel has some serious work to do while jumping from one rumble-strip to the other.
Interestingly, it could be possible to turn this into a closer battle. For instance, the Porsche could be here in manual trim, but it would require for the rear-engined coupe to travel across the ocean. As we explained in the summer, an uber-dedicated Porschephille in the US has commissioned a 991 GT3 RS with a stick shift.
The aftermarket job that followed saw a Rennsport model being fitted with a 911 R tranny, with the result being mind-blowing.
