- Track day enthusiasts live for moments like this...when you come across another car close in performance but more importantly very well driven! This 2015 GT3 was running the new Hoosier R7s and some kind of awesome sounding aftermarket exhaust. I was running the Pirelli World Challenge slick. The designer side of my brain resisted passing him for a few laps as I was literally enjoying looking at the lines on this latest generation of "911". It was the kind of track session where the two drivers seek each other out in the pits and high fives are exchanged. Was an absolute pleasure running with the Northern Ohio Porsche Club today!

Gotta admit, I love how the Viper sounds like it's hardly having to work when making short runs from corner to corner!
The striking orchestra of the video is so empowering leading to the final overtake.
Nice Job Ralph! You continue to make us proud, not just on the track but in the boardroom also.
Fantastic! I just bought a 15 white GT, inspired by STORM :) Ralph thank you for pushing this platform despite the obstacles you faced, and congratulations on the mega promotion. Good to have a car guy at the top!

Nice Job Ralph!!! Toying with that GT3.
Great footage. Looked like a lot of fun out there.
Nice work! And the captioning with the turn-by-turn was super cool!
Look at 911 exit speed! Benefits of rear engine... Nice driving!
Amazing ! I need a GTS !
very very nice ralph..i was finally able to acquire myself a 98 gts. of course not in stock trim, I love it..glad to see you still behind the wheel,last time I saw you were driving a cup race at VIR near three years ago. take care.
Awesome driving, more videos coming, because ill definitely subscribe
I remembery first track day ever because it was special. I dominated the same GT3 with my SRT Viper :D I didn't know I was good but the car is amazing.
1:37 interesting spot to change gear :o I guess if you run out of revs you run out but I've gotta think with the downhill and turning it was "perfect shift or ass-out"? Haha
nice driving regardless. I love how your car's nose changes direction so readily when you let off the gas.
Nice driving!
Thanks but it really is in the magic of this new platform. The Gen 5 is such a pleasure to drive!
Pretty crazy we're turning the same lap times in go karts!
Defiantly the best track car base
Is there any difference between the GTS and the TA?
TA is more track capable than GTS, the TA have larger tires, 295 front 355 rear (not sure) and loads of suspension tuning.
Looks like I'm going to have to rethink my 2016 A8 Zo6 purchase?? Always have loved my Vipers on Moton Coil overs! I just wish they still made the Viper with the TA 1.0!!!!!!!!!
independent synchronized active suspension system is the key to optmize the Viper's incredible torque thus energy. Even though the 4 wheels are "independent" they actually sense the road and sense each other and assist in drive handling. Sort of like synergy (you have components contributing to each other for the stability of each other, like in a music symphony orchaestra). "Independent" in a sense that they compensate each other like a symbiosis. Subsystems within a system. Yep, "independent" yet working together in a symbiosis. Smart dampening-smart cornering compensation effect. Like the high tech smart headlamps of the Mercedez E-Class which is a matrix of LED lights (array of LED lights working in conjunction), sir.
The gt3 has his own video on this race for anyone that wants to know.
Such an amazing exhaust note the Viper has.
Awesome driving!
WTF with that guy cutting across into the merge lane at turn 1? Kick his ass off the course.
I knew it was just a matter of time before you went by the porche.
BTW, it was awesome to meet you last year at Petite Le Mans on the back stretch. I did a double take and could not believe it was you. It was great talking with you about the race and the Viper won team and drivers championship. To bad they are out for now, I hope they return one day to dominate again!
This is Harry's Lap Timer app right? What version?
i live in ohio so if there are ride alongs let me know brother.
There are always ride alongs at these events. Just show up with an appropriate helmet, jeans, and closed-toed shoes. I rode with people for two years before buying a track car and doing events myself. Go to motorsportreg.com and clubregistration.net for a list of events.
I think its great to see Porsche back in the game with the new GT3, the last few editions were not up to par. Of course, the new ACR is now going to annihilate it.
ViperRacing But of course, the new RS will be faster than this GT3...better comparo to the ACR for sure.
Nice track but not many places to properly stretch a really quick cars legs. Could be quite frustrating in something really fast
Here is the view from the Porsche.

Did this car have a stock motor?
Storm was modified. Always loved this vid though. Love the effortless revs and speed. Nothing like a Viper.
If it was real racing and not track days, that heavy toad dont have chance...
Jeez, hope the guy at 5 minutes got black flagged, jumping into the blend line is not good
This is a TA not Gts
1:36.88 then 1:40.62? Get those slow ass cars out of the vipers way
