if you have, you would know what I am talking about. Oh I forgot, the ACR does not have traction control, stability control, and is RWD. I guess this makes it easier to drive than a 911 Turbo with all wheel drive and lots of electronic nannies.
there is no pt debating with you because you really don't know what you are talking about..... |
First you make invalid and unsubstantiated claims. When I respond you question my experience and then casually dismiss the whole thing. This is a predictable formula.
I didn't say that the Viper is easier to drive [at the limit].
I did say that it was easier to turn comparable lap times with it. It has much greater outright performance. That is objective fact. This is in no small part due to massive downforce that gives it tremendous stability and fast-corner grip.
Driving the Porsche at 10/10th's to get the best possible lap time is no easy task either. The point I am making is that driving the Viper at 8 or 9 tenths will result in a comparable lap time. That can be achieved with less aggressive throttle input and all the drama that would go along with that.
Joe Average can push hard in the Porsche to turn his best time. Then he can hop in the Viper and leave a greater margin for error to achieve the same result.
