Camaro SS LS3 cammed & nitrous vs McLaren 650s
A buddy of mine works for a guy with a ton of expensive nice cars. His boss wants to go down to the track soon and take a few of his cars with him. The slowest car he has for me to run against is the new McLaren 650s. So I said lets do it. The guy also has a new COPO that I cant wait to see.
I will be running a 175 shot of nitrous as well. Should be slightly over 650 at the wheels. The 650s is stock. From the McLaren forums I've read through, those cars dyno right around 520 to the wheels. Just for kicks...will this be a good race? I know many factors to include like the launch, but this race really has me wondering if I have a shot. I'm pretty sure from a roll it would be better for me but he's trailering the car down so we wont find out until we can line them up at the tree.

Less "power" but a lot less weight too (right around 3K lbs I believe)....I believe they have a great acceleration rate (about 3 seconds to 60mph) and an advertised mid 10 second 1/4 mile. Would be great to see that car run....my guess is that it will take you (provided equal drivers).

Experience will win.
If the experience, in the respective cars are equal, the Mc will win due to power to weight and AWD. |

Have you ever been to the track? If so what does your car run? Says the mclaren will run mid 10's @ ~134mph. I doubt u will be anywhere close to that with a manual trans.

Yeah I've seen videos of your average Jo running high 10's with the 650s. No idea how this guy is with his but I'm sure he's no slouch.

This is why I love Florida....Down in Palm Beach you can find every race possible between two cars. ZL-1 vs MP4-12c

Should run a 10.5 if he is a decent driver. And yes, they are RWD, not AWD.
