The two vehicles are 1000lbs apart in weight, yet produce comparable figure-8 time, and you are proud of the lighter car? Are you out of your mind? Do you not understand the 0.85g peak lateral acceleration vs. 0.58g peak lateral acceleration difference? They are half a 4-5 performance classes apart!
That's where the Torque Vectoring AWD came in: the Torque Vectoring system gives you much greater lateral acceleration, making the MDX drive like a sports car! For comparison, the BMW 328xi GT pulls only 0.68g maximum lateral acceleration during figure-8.
Encore 0-60 is 9.4", whereas that of MDX is 6.4" despite being 1000lbs heavier. 3 full seconds difference! How are they remotely comparable? Do you know what kind of car turns in 3 seconds faster than the MDX at 3.4"? Top of the line Ferraris and Lambos! Like I said, you may as well think of your Encore as comparable to the latest Rolls Royce just because both have 4 wheels. Encore probably beats the Rolls in figure-8 by virtual of being more than 2000lbs lighter.
