Both are cars beautiful. We knew vette didn't have a chance though... it's manual against auto. Also I think the 720s is lighter but don't quote me on that.
Those Vette transmissions seem to be a bit of a pain for most people to really throw into gear. But I do know that T5s, T45s, etc in mustangs can be power shifted. Now how long they last...I'm still never sold on " it's an auto so it will win by default". Find someone that isn't afraid to powershift and you'll that auto advantage fade. When your down cubic inches in a Ford, you learn how to outdrive most people lol
You sound like a muscle car enthusiast who gets butt hurt anytime a muscle car loses to literally any other type of vehicle. They’re both well built, and crazy fast. At the end of the day, someone has to win. It just happened to be the mclaren this time. Seen PLENTY of vettes beat super cars
Honestly 920whp is a lot and in a light c6z there’s alot less cars that will beat it unless they have similar horse power now unless the 720s is moded tuned! A stock 720s will not beat a blown c6z making close to 1000whp!!
Not sure how many drags races you’ve seen, but check some drag channels out. A stock 720S is a lot faster than people realize, the ONLY production car that’s managed to beat it in a quarter mile is the 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S. What’s even more impressive is McLaren doesn’t give a single crap about drag times, they just engineered a car that would be as fast as possible around a track but also offer Rolls Royce levels of comfort…. And it still smokes prepped drag cars.
Kinda idiotic to try to compare the price different. Obviously the 720s would be a lot more expensive as it's a lot newer, better tech, etc. C6 is just a sports car by today's standard and even back then... It was no super car in stock form. Plus the C6 is modded, you obviously have to spend some money to build a car to that power level. So the price difference with these 2 exact cars aren't that far off I would assume.
@@MyPerson555 Still isn't cheap. Nun of us know how much it cost except the person who paid to build it. Y'all are missing the point, it's idiotic to compare a 10-15 year old sports car to a modern day full on supercar. Doesn't matter if it was built, it's still a old Corvette at the end of the day.
@@MyPerson555 Bruh you're missing the point, let's not be a dumbass and actually think. McLaren 720s was a supercar built from the factory, the C6 wasn't. It's cheaper yes but it's a *SPORTS CAR*... Not a supercar. Obviously it will be cheaper with mods because McLaren offers more. It's not hard to think my guy.
I think twin turbos would suit this Z06 better. It would definitely have woken up its already good top end. Superchargers are great but something about turbos that just don’t let up on long runs like this one.
@@joefriesen5296 no sir. His shifts were granny. Even short shift on the last exchange. That was why he lost. If it really was 1k whp and driver mod vette wins all day.
@@toomanyunlearned1 Yes sir. You can tell between the shifts that the acceleration of the Z06 still wasn't enough to take the 720. As it falls behind between shifts, it gets no closer to the same acceleration as the 720s, it continues to loose ground at the same rate, which shows it wouldn't have necessarily won even it were an auto.
not bad? The guy has a built 427 with a blower, with no passenger like the 720 did, jumped by a full second, and got drove around like he was tied to a stump. LMFAO!!!!
Wins a win tho...imagine if the z would have won....still love my c6 Z06 regardless of who walks,gaps, or destroys me lol. Dudes C6 isn't stock either. Hellva alot of cash in his build. ..1k hp
Both are nice cars and it’s no knock to lose to a 900+ whp 720. People don’t really understand how fast they are from a roll at that power with their light weight , perfect gearing and aero. The z must be at 850-930 whp because if he was at 1000whp he should beat him with hood traction and shifting. His combination should be about to make 1100+ whp and 1300 whp if it’s the ysi-billet wheel. The shifting killed him along with the spinning. McLarens put the power down with the weight in the back and the push rod suspension my buddy has a 765lt he had a 720. Great race and you have to come correct if your going to race a 900whp 720. He needs to turn it up to even out the hp to weight ratio and hook better with a better tire. I know what my lme 416, cid heads , mamo msd Ysi C7 does tuned down and he has a 427 so he should be able to take it but manuals hurt you if you can’t power shift perfectly.
Ur only AS FAST AS UR WALLET!. I got a c5 zo6 n were working on tuning her 1250rwhp n I don't have no 400k into her🤣✌ but it does have 60 spent on her to here! STILL LESS THEN 80K💖😎 n SHES GOING TO PRODUCING SOME SERIOUS NUMBERS.
@@zacharyrussell6983 lmao 🤣🤣 exactly my thoughts...people see an expensive for nothing car and first they say is "quality" " reliability" lmao 🤣🤣 kids nowadays
Here’s the thing….. The corvette is ancient technology, horrific build quality, and can’t corner for shit. You can throw a supercharger on it and make big horsepower, but overall as a vehicle it is dog shit compared to any McLaren. Whereas that 720S is the pinnacle of engineering, using the finest materials, most advanced technology, and can smoke damn near anything in a straight line, and even more around a track. Even if someone can pull on a McLaren with an old high displacement boosted engine, they’re still losing to the person who can actually afford a $400,000 toy.
The C6 is old bruh, it's completely idiotic to compare a full on supercar to a 10-15 year old sports car. They didn't even race for that long either, the C6 obviously got some work done to it and I know for a fact, it's not cheap. McLaren isn't that expensive for what you're getting.
I'm sorry I just have no respect for anyone who celebrates a roll win in an automatic after beating a manual. There is a huge disparity in the amount of work the two drivers are putting in. In that situation you don't say anything bc you should know where the major difference is. If he beat another auto supercar then hell yeah celebrate the walk out bc the playfield was even.
Corvette got the jump and for the price difference, I'll take the ZO6 any day!!
Both are cars beautiful. We knew vette didn't have a chance though... it's manual against auto. Also I think the 720s is lighter but don't quote me on that.
They weigh about the same, but fully optioned the weight advantage is the C6 z06 by only 50-100 lbs. That dual clutch is money though

Manual against auto and also, it’s a modded 720s…lol. Those things are FAST.
The way he slid at the beginning made up for the hit he got lol
There is always someone faster. But being in the 1% is a nice feeling.
It’s only took you $380,000 more dollars to walk him congratulations big dawg
I mean if you paid close to 400k yeah I expect to beat any stock or modded vette on the road lol.
Chevy jumped and still lost. No excuses
Its a 920whp toothpick. Of course the vette will lose. Nobody is making excuses, its just nothing to brag about lol
Yup

720S are no joke. even stock ones run mid to high 9's. plus the 720 weighs 3100-3200 lbs, a bit less than the vette. both are beautiful.
Yay you beat a car that costs 1/4 the price. Good job!
Bad ass Z Brother!🤘
For an American sports car thats almost 2 decades of old against a modern super car thats pretty impressive. Both cars are incredibly fast.
Honestly 920whp is a lot and in a light c6z there’s alot less cars that will beat it unless they have similar horse power now unless the 720s is moded tuned! A stock 720s will not beat a blown c6z making close to 1000whp!!
Yea definitely got plenty done to that 720s. Let alone how much more that thing costs.
@@joefriesen5296 right in my book the c6 is by far the best money you can spend for performance
@@garry34mackey I agree, the Vet is way better value but if I could afford one I would buy a McClaren.

I like how the wheels are turning on these cars. They spin round and round.
that z06 broke lose big time. it mightve stayed out ahead a little longer with traction.
McClaren won but by not enough to justify the price difference. I’ll take the Vette and pocket the difference.

Centrifugal superchargers have all the power up top. If he was running turbos while making the same power, outcome would have been the same.
Man those 720’s are fast
That C6Z needs a sequential conversion!
Crazy that such a beast of a Corvette still can't beat a bolt on race gas 720s. What a machine.
CJ on 32’s own that McLaren know!!
bruh the 720 is just fast af for no reason lmao
😂
People saying the vette driver can’t shift but never drove a vette 😂
Feel like the only reason the mclaren won is because he gained a lot of momentum off your shifts.
Nah he was pulling em in regardless. Still a good job for a car 1/4 the price.
@@joefriesen5296 no sir. His shifts were granny. Even short shift on the last exchange. That was why he lost. If it really was 1k whp and driver mod vette wins all day.

Your corvette best bang for dollar still. Just to think a 4 sedan plaid will walk the 720S now.
Imagine bragging that you beat a car 1/6 the price. Like "hey my stock F150 ecoboost just walked that 2001 corolla! AND it had an intake!"
Let me brag!! I got the rights
It’s not about the price my man..it’s the power and bragging about that

That Vette sounded so much more better

Funny to see the fan boys talk about price.
Tell me that zo6 isnt running street tires. Hopefully Mickeys or he is crazy
YEA! I PAID 7 TIMES THE MONEY AND JUST BARELY BEAT HIM. LMFAO

What tires on vette.
I give the win to the corvette 😎 period who cares about the 720 🤷♂️ and a tune when they hit 160 the race was over
Did u sale the car to cj on 32
Thats a hell of a "tune". Dont they push like 700 hp?
720S has almost 700 to the wheels stock, very under rated. it makes approx 800 at the crank. see Dragtimes for all this.
What does LSX mean
Z06 sounds 10000000x better
Yeah.. pretty much about it
I’d take the Vette
Smoked them tires a bit @ 1:00
What was the chase car at the end?
R8 supercharged
Figured. I knew it was a v10!
Vette needs th400 and McLaren is toast
Dude get like auto glory the other channel is banging

Looked like the vette driver was slow shifting. Yes I know easier said then done
Put a twin turbo vette up against that twin turbo car
how does a dude spend all his money on go fast parts yet cant afford to get a custom hood smh
Vette not making 1k wheel. Maybe 850-900wheel.
Those shifts could of been better
Bro beat a Chevy in a car that cost 16 times that and he got paddles shifters fruit loop🤡😭😭😭
That z06 didn't have 1000whp js
