Built Versus Bought: Cammed Corvette C6 Z06 & F1C ProCharged C5 FRC Corvette Take on McLaren MP4-12C

It’s always nice to see how our modded cars stack up against exotics. Here’s proof you need to bring a big weapon to the party if you plan on roll racing with a McLaren MP4-12C. Its coefficient of drag is as slippery as a tear drop, and it makes 616 hp and 443 lb-ft at the crank (most make around 515hp and 415 lb-ft at the wheels), and it only weights a hair over 3000 pounds. Oh yeah, it’s also got a 7-speed automated manual transmission that rips off shifts! The question is, how does it compare to a heads and cam C6 Z06? Or a heads, cam and ProCharged C5 FRC? You’re going to have to watch and find out.

All we know is, the 3.8L TT V8 in the McLaren is a force to be reckoned with! Do you think your car could take it?
