More power isn't the issue. The car has 650hp. The Porsches have less and are sub 7 minutes. What the car needs is a weight reduction and maybe even a tad more downforce. Instead of 350lbs of downforce, perhaps 450lbs at 150mph. Think..... Viper ACR. Lighter and more downforce.
Also with increased down force, usually you need the little extra horsepower to compensate for the rolling resistance
