So you're a hotshoe in the virtual world, eh? Think you can take the heat when it's not happening on a couch with a bag of Doritos nearby? Can you handle real-world g-forces and the threat of bodily harm? Maybe you can. Maybe not. The team at Viagame took a crack at finding out if one Swedish gamer has the mettle to take on a real racer in the real world. But not like you might think.

The Porsche Carrera GT has a reputation as a bit of a tricky car--a fact that was pushed beyond reason in the weeks following Paul Walker's death in one, alongside racing driver Roger Rodas. But if the Carrera GT is difficult to drive, it's because it's essentially a snazzed-up, road-legal prototype race car. It demands respect. But respect is not all the Porsche Carrera GT demands. It demands attention, and it rewards the observer with its sights and its sounds. Want proof? Take the eye and ear candy in the video above and roll it around in your brain-mouth for 80 seconds. Your eyes will...
