Might have already been posted but it's worth watching more than once. That glorious sound.

Wow. That car is perfectly set up and the driver is so smooth...

And a LOT more power than anyone else.
My god that was incredible to watch.
Don't know much about the race but it seems like there are some GT4 Caymans in there?
And yeah... he seems to have a slight horsepower advantage. :)
That sound, just, man! Going to watch more times for the sound and to watch his feet.
Holy F that car hauls dick
Does anyone know the engine details? And what is the brake tapping when he's on the power in the straights?
I loved seeing the Porsches getting their asses handed to them.
Thanks for posting

My guess is to keep heat in them or just make sure they work when slowing down.
In reply to Ranger50 :
Yep. Make sure they are there and ready before something goes seriously sideways. Into a wall. Really quickly.
That was incredible! And he is not afraid to cut the inside edges of the turns.. lol
It's a 1965 Shelby GT350. He apparently broke the car and didn't finish the race.
That was David vs Goliath, but with an alternate ending. You know, where Goliath beats the living crap out of David before he can think about even loading a rock in his sling.
In reply to Toyman01 :
Bummer. That was fun to watch.
I’ve driven a couple cars that needed the brakes tapped before the next corner. Not a lot of fun when you get caught up in traffic and forget to do it and find yourself really needing to have not forgotten. If that makes sense.
I found this from the suggested videos after that one:

i think that the off/on throttle sound of that 427 might be what haunts my dreams tonight. I’m pretty sure that’s the sound a grizzly makes before it attacks. I smiled so big when he made it past that open top vette and could really open it up. Both of those videos involve some smooth, fast hands to keep their 60s beasts on track. Awesome to see them hustled with such verve and not just displayed on track.
7500 rpm out on the oval is kinda pushing it....
That’s the glorious sound of a well built small block Ford. It’s why I consider keeping my challenge car and going 363 with it.

Not according to Nascar?
Cool vid!

I was somewhat interested at onboard video working through the field...and became really intrigued with the mention of the awesome small-block Ford sound....but kicking Porsche ass? Now I’m going to make a point of watching once I’m not on mobile!!
Whoa: quick edit. Dorkdom finally achieved!
Tapping the brakes before the corner might not have to do with heat but with pad knockback. Cars with worn/loose wheel bearings or overly flexible knuckles can pry the brake pads apart with the rotor in a corner, and then when you hit them the pedal almost hits the floor before you get any braking. Touching the brakes before the braking zone makes sure the pads are close to the rotor before the real braking begins.
Interesting mix of cars and holy crap that driver put on a *clinic*...
And yes that is a fantastic noise. Just fantastic

7500 RPM small blocks are playing in the background as I read this.
Damn. Couldn't watch the driving as my eyes were fixed on his footwork. Wish my t56 could shift like that, as I watch the RPMS quickly drop trying to decide if I am in 3rd gear or 5th gear. Whoops, that was 3rd. How about now? Nope, still third.
Being so fast (and having what looked like at least a 100 hp on the other cars), one wonders why he started so far back in the pack. Perfect track for power over handling. The only area you can see he has issues is putting down the power coming out of the corners which clearly is not an issue for a 911 or Cayman.
