So with 140-160rwhp less, he's keeping pace.
Along with 800lbs lighter and also no passenger.

I heard the GT500 and McLaren are owned by the same guy. Is that true?

I want to say something nice, but I can't cause I'm so incredibly jealous that one person gets to own both of those. ****.

Dude is young to own both of these beast! As long as it's an honest living he's making, good for him!

Who said he is the owner of both of these cars? Because he is not.

Well, the "sorta" post above give the semblance that he (or a relative) are the owners of these two cars. Even if he's the owner of 1 of these beast at his age he's doing well.

That's right. Because he has no passenger, but he bought a car that's way lighter, it's not impressive.

How is it not? It won the races and pull the passenger and he pulls little more. Cost 1/3 the cost even with the bolt ons.

If I were driving an MP4-12C I wouldn't give a **** if a GT500 pulls me 10 cars in the 1/8 mile.

Great race and vids. That aircraft carrier GT500 would have been in some trouble from a dig though.
