Pretty funny how you cry about sticky tires but completely over look the HUGE advantage the 918 has by being all wheel drive.
From everything I've read it was designed for the corsas but open to being wrong with written corroborating documentation otherwise.
Fact remains the 918 has yet to be beaten on given equal comparison.
Porsche has created a far superior display of technology and collaboration in how the systems work. AWD is just good visualization of what will make the car better in which it is meant to be driven (i.e. fast on a circuit). The P1 and LaF with awd would have been faster and with awd would likely be able to beat the 918 given they have more power...but coulda, shoulda, woulda. Also the 918 was out first and the p1 and LaF had clear sights set on it yet still can't beat the 918 in the p1s case and ferrari won't dare watch their car go down in a head to head.
I don't even know how you have the audacity to say "shoulda, coulda, woulda" Your entire argument is based on that.

If GT3 had same power as Speciale, it would be faster.. Shoulda, coulda, woulda..

If Turbo S had same power as Z06 it would be faster.. Shoulda, coulda, woulda

If GT2 had PDK is would have been faster than most cars.. Shoulda, coulda, woulda...

If 918 had same tires as P1 it would have been faster.. Shoulda, coulda, woulda..

The list goes on..
I don't consider saying that two cars on equal tires is shoulda, coulda, woulda. Some tires provide better times and in that case the 918 has PROVEN faster than the p1, which is largely why ferrari won't go head to head against it.
The GT2 was built with a 6mt whereas all the cars in question have dual clutches which provide faster times. The GT2RS even though it's built on a mid 90s chassis still beats most current day super cars some 5 years later.
Hahaha stop making excuses man.. Just give it up. Kunir toxir.
The only one making excuses is you. First it's that the p1 was faster on a circuit and it's not. I proven in all the head to heads (equal comparos) thus far the 918 has shown to be faster. Then you come up with the cause that they aren't track cars. That's as bad as ferrari saying the LaF isn't about speed or performance after they market it as the best performance car they've ever built. Yet it still can't beat the 918 despite being slightly lighter and having a lot more power. Laughable and quite honestly a joke to say the least.
All 3 are ROAD cars before anything else, if you don't see that, I don't know what else to say to you. McLaren has made it very clear the P1 is a road car numerous times. I've seen 2 video reviews with 918 and P1 and you want to discredit the video where the 918 lost due to tires. All wheel drive offers a bigger advantage than any tire advantage the P1 had over the 918. I don't need to make excuses because lap times don't mean shit to me, I like what I like.

Only thing lap times show me is 1 car is faster than the other, on that track, on that day, with those drivers, in those weather conditions, etc.. They aren't race cars and they most likely won't be competing in any racing. So who gives a fk if 1 car is fractions of a second quicker. Well, obviously you do..

P1 or 918? It's like arguing over which supermodel gives the best... Advice. First world first world problems.

Sort of ridiculous since they're the only two going back and forth.
