Agreed. With the McLaren's incredible launch ability, the GT500's marginal top-end advantage wouldn't be enough to catch up. On the street, that is.

Because this is a bone stock car, making 140rwhp less and keeping up. That's A LOT less power. Tune the mclaren, it'll be faster.
If this were a c6 z06, people would be schmoozing all over the corvette, regardless of it winning or losing.
Want to throw money into the equation? I'd rather buy a s13/s14 and turbo a forged ls3. Costs less than a gt500, and it'd rape both cars. All for 1/3-1/2 of the cost of a gt500!

Toon the Mclaren but get rid of the passengers.

x 1000

watch this:



And that's just an ECU tune.

But seriously you can get a foxbody, f-body, **** it a civic too with enough mods and rape both cars.

Most of you forget that GT500 has a passanger and on pump gas as well... We tried to match the cars as close as possible to have a better race. If Mclaren was tuned in those runs it wouldnt be pretty for gt500, however Tuned Mclaren vs Race Gas GT500(+drop the cameraman) would be an interesting one

Then tune the McLaren for race gas, it'd be beating the gt500, anyway.
The tune in the video is for 91/93 octane

Then do this, then do that, then this... good god man, its a ******* race.

Run what ya brung, the GT500 took it this time.

Both are badass cars for sure, and very evenly matched.

They're trying to make it seem like what the mclaren did, was not impressive. It did what it did, with 140rwhp less.
"Omg, one passenger less". Jesus, people dick-suck the **** out of the gt500. It has 140 MORE than this car, and it just won. Quite frankly, that's sad.

It's more than that. It's power-to-weight, aerodynamics, and transmission efficiency.

Don't forget, gearing, traction, weather, driver and car color.

Color may be the most important factor.

Unless one driver has a pair of snazzy driving gloves, of course.
