918 is a hybrid hyper car that cost "1 million dollars " said in Dr. Evil voice. While the statement is filled with passion and emotion….great cars evoke those feelings.. I still think it is objectively true. The 918 is a VERY advanced tech car and it is arguably the performance leader….well maybe not now that the new McClaren monkey stomped the ring..but they are only making 5 of those. A car should absolutely make you feel something. If not what is the point? When it comes to all the arguments about which car is better that is a matter of pure opinion. Unless we are talking about things that are measurable. Fastest 1/4 mile, fastest lap times etc…. When people get emotional about that and start talking about how their Mustang GT can whoop up on anything that is where we enter the realm of silly and for lack of a better word…because I hate the term…."fanboyism"

For the money, the performance, all the track titles…. I still give it to the ACR. I've seen and laid hands on two 918s in person and for me the ACR is still THE car. I love American cars and at this moment in history you have to spend an awful lot of dough to approach the performance of the top dog American rides. Also I think paying 1 million dollars for a car….any car is ludicrous. I don't care how much money you have. For the price of a 918 you could buy an ACR, a Zl1 1LE, a Z06, a Hellcat, a GT350R and still have over a half million dollars for tires, fuel, and track time.
