3/10 slower from a stating start is not much, and accelerating to an additional 71 MPH in that 3.6 seconds from a standing start is something you will definitely feel.
Every foot they shorten the course gives an advantage to the boat. If they shorten the course to 500 ft and the boat takes a run at the starting beam, what chance does the car have of catching it in 500 ft? Put the 320 ft back on the course and things would look a little different on the record books
The boat is definitely badass. But its acceleration rate is nothing like a car's
