Just thought I would point out the fact that the Porsche 918 is 15 seconds faster than the Viper SRT10 ACR and more than 30 seconds faster than the Carrera GT, their last halo car. That blows my mind.

Came here to snicker at the halo cat. You beat me to it.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > Sir_Stig: and toxic masculinity ruins the party again. 11/19/2014 at 16:56

That is an incredible gap. And yet it's still beat out by a garage built kit car.

There is only so much you can do until it comes down to being the lightest car with the most HP.

Plus the 918 still has an interior, doors, a/c, a radio, etc. The next step past the Radical is things like LMP cars, then F1 cars. Thinking that way, the 918 is ridiculously fast.

I'm more amazed that it's ~3800lbs and still runs within a second of the SR8, a freaking racecar with a license plate that weighs half as much.

I think what impresses me more is (for as much shit as I give Toyota) the LFA is within sight of the ACR. The ACR really ain't a street car.

...or to follow up my other point, Nissan wringing EIGHT SECONDS! from the GTR. That's obscene.

The viper seems to make up 10 seconds on each refresh as well. Crazy.

If they keep this up these improvements in lap time, soon they will finish before they stared.

Ya know, I look at these numbers and I see time gaps and all...then it hits me. What kind of madness is a 14 mile race track?
