That was not a good driver....he was scared to hit the gas so the porsche had no problem to keep the ferrari of his back...with a different driver i think the roles would be reversed...

"After posting the video in Japanese car forums last year, authorities began investigating. According to the Mainichi Daily News, they were able to not only identify the driver, but pinpoint when and where he broke a traffic law -- driving 77 mph in a zone marked for 25 mph. Thanks to strict laws against speeding in Japan, if convicted the doctor could face up to six months in prison and a $1,220 fine, the kind of rules that played a role in last year's million-dollar Ferrari pileup in Japan. There will be Ferrari owners around the world who would say driving the 458 at speed was still worth it."

Thats pretty gay. Not only do the Japs have some nice rice tracks but they also have sanctioned events where these dimwits can drive their cars without worrying about spending 6 months in prison. 77mph is far from "ät speed"

Agreed, if he only went up to 77mph, unless that was a tuned 911 Turbo, he could have easily kept up with him...

Not if it was a stock GT2 RS he wouldn't
