You can use all the comparisons you like, but until it’s same driver, same day, same course and ideally same level of tire, it’s not really a fair comparison.I remember people here posting that the GT500 CFTP will be faster than an ACR. Turns out they were wrong.
This is my friend Luke's ACR at NCM. Bone stock car, he ran 2:08.
For reference, Randy Pobst drove his old TA, also stock. Randy's fastest lap time was a 2:09:15. Now imagine Randy in the ACR.
That said, the GT500 CFTP is impressive but I wonder how long the tires and brakes will last?
The GT500 makes more power and a better track trans, but more weight. The ACR has better aero and lighter weight.
Thankfully I can say I’ve driven a ‘17 ACR and ‘20 CFTP on the track!
We both know the tire is the biggest variable, so if you have the same driver on the same tire compound, I’d bet it’s a coin toss.
Combined with the C7 ZR1; the ACR, CFTP GT500 and ZR1 most definitely are the USA’s pride in world class track weapons.
Those Porsche cars are also absolutely amazing works of engineering and the results speak for themselves.
The easiest answer is that the CFTP is the best value for the MSRP.
I just don’t want to track a 4100# missile based only on tire and brake consumption!
