SS717 did it. 570S vs ZR1 to 180+ MPH.

Right on.. the way the C6 flew by, ~1000 rwhp was going through my mind. It must have had a 40 mph advantage at the pass point. 180-200 1/4 mile speed or is my math messed up?

The ZR1 is built to be a track beast; the McLaren has a different mission.
No doubt both are great cars, but the manufacturers' goals were different.
Hard to go wrong with either, as long as a buyer knows what he wants to use it for.

Well, yes and no. The McLaren is no slouch on a track either. It's not like the McLaren runs 2 minute Laguna Seca laps in exchange for high top speed. It runs 1:34 at Laguna and 2:45 at VIR. It's not slow by any means on a track is my point. It does both jobs very well.

He can't drive for ****.. He got lucky and became rich off of You Tube and bought a few corvettes.. This does not make him a driver of any sort.
I don't have a problem with him and it's awesome he made a name for himself... But he can't drive for ****!!!. My Wife can smack gears better than him..

Nope. There's really nothing touching the McLarens on the top end right now.
Just like he said, the Corvette are better from 50 to about 110-120, after that, there's no competition. The McLarens(both the 570 and 720) have the power, gearing, and aero to run away from most cars these days. The 720S is punching in the hypercar class speed wise.
At the track, of course, it'll be a different story. This video is accurate.

8,500 RPM higher pressure Turbo Lifespan!? ;)
It is a racing engine! How about 7.5K hard track miles max with big aero mod!?
But don't forget the GT2 RS 7000 RPM Turbo is the ZR1's real competition.

I look at Mike’s video all the time but this upload sucked a$$! He is very cautious of having others drive his car, which is understandable but this is the clickbait crap others have been talking about. That’s a poor way to display the performance of the ZR1. They both have different use.
He has the ZR1 A8 coming he is selling the M7 ZR1 and has to let the 570S go! The guy is mess. Buy cars to make a Video then worries about selling them. Not sure this business model will keep going !

He said he loves the M7 but his 2nd ZR1 is ordered with the A8? I must have missed that. (I usually scroll ahead in you tubes.)

He's NOT selling the 570S because he's getting another ZR1. He said he's THINKING about trading the 570S for a 720S or a 570LT if they make one. So he's not downgrading in cars or changing his current line up except to upgrade it. The only car he might sell and not replace is his Procharged C7 Z06 which he said he doesn't need.
So now that I've fixed your info, you can see that he is not a "mess" as you put it. He's just fine. He knows what he's doing.

This is all BS. He's got a second ZR1 coming that is IDENTICAL to his current one except it's a ZTK package car with the Big wing/Cup 2s/CCB etc. It's still a manual just like his current car. He's going to sell his Vin #4 M7 ZR1 when the new one gets in. And it will sell, quickly. You seriously think no one will buy it because it has a small burnout and 2 passes at the strip? Lol get real. VIN #4, first manual trans. It will probably sell within a day.

Wonder why in one of his vids ( I'm not follower) but he said the 570s must go. He is a mess and with his seat of the pants business model
buying cars and juggling payment books he needs luck. If he wants to go fast in the 1/4 mile in the ZR1 he should buy the A8

The 570 isn’t going anywhere unless a 720 is replacing it. The cars make him money so that’s why he can afford to move them if needed. Sense a lot of envy on this site.

I sure don’t profess to know all the monetizing angles of you tubing but I’d have to believe Mikes having over 600k subs, he’s got a pretty nice cash cow. Add to that the ability to write off any vehicle he buys and features in his vlogs, continually buying new stuff makes financial sense. He knows viewers lose interest quickly to vlogs of guys waxing and parading the same old cars over and over. The more he beats new exotic stuff, the more people watch. I just can’t believe he still has a drivers license. Ha.
