The ACR is set up like a tractor pull race. The faster it goes the harder the air brakes are working. It's so painfully obvious as the new car pulls away fom the older car as if it had an extra 200 HP. A better race would be with a stock 2010 non ACR vs a stock 2013. Drag races at the track or on the street are not always indicative of superiority of the car, just the driver. In this video however it's pretty clear how disadvantaged the ACR becomes at speed.
+1. The ACR advantage is on the track, and the aero on the ACR is a huge disadvantage in a straight line. Non-ACR 2010 vs. Gen V and it will be a lot closer, but the Gen V carries slightly more power and slightly less weight and has better sorted out gearing. Pretty sure the Gen V GTS and SRT will also pip the 2014 TA simply because adding aero stuff for downforce usually creates more drag.
