I'm actually starting to wonder if Chavez's Maxima was faster than the Porsche and GT500 or if the Porsche and GT500 drivers saw Chavez's race face as they got closer and got too scared to pass lol....He kindof has that 'Pass me and I'll beat you down' look haha...
Good driving Chavez!

Exactly. Had he shifted earlier, he risked bogging in 2nd gear. Based on the Porsche's position on his 1-2 shift, he pretty much nailed it (given the wheelspin in 1st). Held on to 2nd a bit too long but with the power he's making, it didn't really matter at that point.
Great runs dude. Way to represent!

I'm still shocked he beat that Porsche. I have seen many GT500's in the mid 13's, but to see him walk a 911 TT with only clicking off a 12.9X. I wonder how novice the driver was? Those things are usually really fast out of the wrapping paper. Good kill either way.

He's not at sea level or anywhere near it although I thought turbo engines don't suffer as bad compared to NA at higher elevations.

When I was hunting down 11's in my SS I ran into a bone stock TT Carrera. I clicked off a 12.75 and he showed me tail lights.

In any case, this vid is turning into an internet sensation. Seen it on A LOT of non Nissan sites, and nothing but love, no hate.
Rowing those gears

Both vehicles are at the same elevation, and both are turbo. Air density is irrelevant here. Of course 8 LPM from nana's oxgen bottle might help at your elevation.

@Nismology: Thanks for explaining why he didn't shift after bouncing it off the rev limiter a few times. The fact that he's shredding racing slicks at those speeds... Wow.
Edit: Watched Chavez shift a few more times. Phenomenal. Truly jaw-dropping shifts. Well raced, sir.

I love vids like this when the Sleeper that isn't supposed to win actually does, the next thing you read on Youtube is how the Mustang and Porsche lovers start defending their cars by saying stuff like "oh, that Stang driver doesn't know how to shift" or "that guy doesn't really know how to drive that Porsche".
There are always excuses.
Great runs
