You're assuming that maximizing acceleration in a straight is the main priority for most sportscar manufacturers and they are willing to throw everything else to maximize it.

Well a Moto GP bike will easily beat an F1 car in 1/4 mile drag race yet would have zero chances on an actual race track. I'd bet the Cybertruck would do relatively considerably worse even against the base config 911. So it really depends on how you define "absurdly fast".

Tesla showed a Cybertruck beating a 911 in the 1/4 while pulling a 911. They didn't show it going around a track, they didn't show it outbraking a 911, they didn't show it on a hillclimb. They very, very clearly defined exactly the context for "absurdly fast", and demonstrated it quite well.

Yes, the slowest 911 you can buy. > And very clearly we've been talking about 1/4 mile time for this entire discussion. I'm not even sure what are we arguing about at this point. My entire point is that this is a clearly an apples to oranges comparison.
