I thought it would be interesting to compare the 2 videos of the Randy Pobst Laguna Seca record runs in the 2 cars. I wanted to see how the Viper beat a car with 300 more hp and all wheel steering and 4 wheel drive. The minimum speed of the Viper exceeded the minimum speed of the 918 in each corner by about 5 up to 13 mph. The faster the corner, the greater the differential as one would expect based on the greater aero downforce in the Viper. The Porsche exceeded the maximum straightaway speed of the Viper by a similar amount. For example, coming off the last turn approaching the finish line the Porsche hit 132 while the Viper hit 119. Despite the greater acceleration in the Porsche, the Viper was over a second faster in its record-setting lap (128.69 vs. 129.89). This underscores that on a track like Laguna Seca, corner speed is more important than acceleration due to the total amount of time spent cornering vs the straightaways. Very impressive performance by the ACR Extreme.
