Default Nitrous Mclaren 720S vs. Whipple/Nitrous Z06


The worlds first Nitrous McLaren 720s vs Whipple\Nitrous Z06

Both cars were on spray on these pulls... Badass race!

50mph-165ish Best 1/4mile so far out of the 720 is a 9.1 at 152mph

Best 1/4mile out of Z06 is 9.2 at 155mph.

Both cars are pretty evenly matched, the PD blower with spray is hard to beat from a roll!

For a fraction of the cost of a McLaren the Corvette is an amazing bang for the buck - thanks for sharing

Two really quick cars, but both drivers are idiots for street racing.

While I love all sports cars, I went to dinner at a steakhouse with Valet and they had my GS parked next to a Mc 570s.... the GS is a beautiful car... the Mclarren a work of art and you pay for it. Great to see stuff like this but way beyond where I would take it

People still use nitrous? I thought that fad died out years ago.

That Z hauls ***, I think it puts Down over 900 to the wheels. Shot of nitrous and it's over 1000rwhp. I wonder how big a shot that nitrous is on The 720s?

I also noticed they weren't wearing helmets, knee and elbow pads. I'm so glad I grew up in the 50's and 60's when street racing was legal.
