458 vs GT2 9ff

It's a 9ff GT2 w/ about 1000hp. Dubbed the TR-1000, the vehicle is equipped with Porsche's standard 3.6-liter flat-6, albeit with a bunch of upgrades that bring output all the way to 1,000 horsepower and 767 pound-feet of torque. Engine modifications include larger turbochargers, an improved intercooler, sport-profile camshafts, titanium connecting rods, a forged crankshaft, a sport air filter, a reconfigured ECU and a high-performance exhaust system. A high-end braking system and an adjustable sport suspension with aluminum dampers are also part of the tune.

What are the 458 driver/passenger saying? Anyone able to translate? Curious.

I doubt the 458 guy was shocked but maybe more surprised by the amount of distance the P put on him.

He had to know what he was getting himself into.
