In the grand scheme of things no, not really.

In a timed event with strict rules on equipment/modifications, 2 seconds is an eternity especially on such a small track like that where the lighter EB shines. On longer tracks where you can actually use the full power for more than a second at a time (think VIR), that difference will be even bigger. Not to take anything away from the EB of course, it put up a good fight.

I'll never run my HPP on a track like this, but it is cool to see someone drive it who knows what they are doing.

I actually wouldnt care (much)if the GT lost as long as it sounds as good as it does. Tracking - meh. Power to weight has its place but if thats what I wanted- miata all day long.

I kept looking for sheep. Nice shifter-cart track. Now how do we get Americans to build something similar on the side of a pasture and hill

I am a bit surprised the EcoBoost wasnā€™t the quickest.

It is the Haunted Hills hillclimb (Bryant Park hillclimb) track near Melbourne.

EDIT:- The run of the RTR Mustang as referenced in the video:

I thought the HPP might have closed the gap a little more than that on what looks like a short / tight track.

Does the HPP have MagneRide ? The GT they used didnā€™t so that could have a further influence.

But... the GT has a better power:weight ratio than the Miata.

With a 1300lb difference would not have thought that. Thanks for the info. I'd never buy one because no road trip practicality and feeling of motorcycle for road presence (invisible) but you gave me another reason.

It would've been nice if they had run both cars on the same tires. I have no experience with the PS4s, but I can tell you that the PZeros that came on my EB PP car were lousy on track.

Also, I noticed that neither car had a strut brace. That is standard on the PP cars here in the states. Although, the GT used in the video may not have been a PP car. It sounds like they made some of the GT PP equipment standard down there (brakes, wheels/tires, etc.).
