no current interest in playing it . I ' m sorry , do you know where you are ? <| sep |> So are R 9 2 XX . <| sep |> I think you should say You don ' t mess around with the Ghitu She ' ll slice , dice , chop , and then mince you From Ginsu by the Possum PosseWIKGvQ . <| sep |> damn . Thanks for the information . ps . You just enabled my procrastination <| sep |> Even though everyone is piling on this comment , I ' ve actually seen what you are describing in practice . I ' ve designed launch control systems , and as stupid as it sounds , this can actually be an issue . Internal combustion engines aren ' t like electric motors you can ' t just tell them to nicely and precisely clip massive amounts of power , there is a lot that goes into getting a nice clean and accurate torque cut . To summarize , the best control is a perfect open loop control without cuts , and that would require lower power levels kind of what you ' re saying . The catch here of course is that the 918 does have electric motors , and that alone should make it launch better . That being said , I think the 911 advantage on the launch is probably more a function of its higher Cg and shorter wheelbase , both of which increase rear weight transfer on the initial hit and give a better launch . However , Porsche ' s own literature lists the 918 as faster , and I would not count on automotive journalists to truly run objective tests , on different days , with different temps , on different patches of pavement all those variables can swamp out the difference in times they are trying to claim .
