I couldnt figure out what the car that spun out in the beginning was (need better resolution monitor) At first I thought C7 RX-7?, but then maybe a Noble or even a Viper. |

Vette is consistently pulling 1.25g's in the bends, that new Z06 is pretty amazing but the P1 had a newb driver and he waited until straights to pass traffic so it gives the impression that the vette was catching it in turns. |

Something's not right, a Z06 should be pulling a heck of a lot harder on that front straight. You can count the MPH as it accelerates.
Watch how long it takes to go from 50 to 120, starting around 1:16 in the video . I'm not trying to swing my e-peen, but my stock 350Z is faster than that. |

Z06 driver was a novice, P1 driver was a pro. Just watch the video, (Z06) accelerating late leaving the corners, too much braking going into them. Plus a passenger, that always slows newb drivers down a bunch. The gap is not that big between the two cars IRL, no way in hell. (unless the P1 isn't stock)

His line looks good, but that's because you can see the P1's mistake going into the corner. The guy is a novice driver at best, watch the video, pay attention, and you'll see it all happen. Early in, late out, the most basic driver no-no's. Yes, I used to race an 96 Grand Sport. Different class, but racing nonetheless. |

Correct, you never hear WOT. That's a newb driver afraid of killing himself, not a racer running the car the way it was meant to be.
At 1:22 his shift sounds like a woman driving a stick for the first time. I'm not going to critique every second of the video, but a real track driver can call out every mistake. I guarantee that there are very few on this board. I'd like to hear their opinion. No I'm not talking to those that run light to light on Saturday nights, either. |

McLaren's P1 brakes are 390mm at the front and 380mm at the rear. Corvette's are 394mm front, and 390mm rear. Both are Carbon Ceramic. Vette has 6x4 piston, P1 has 6x4 piston. |

The P1 is on a a whole other planet when it comes to acceleration and handling. However, having watched last week's Top Gear where James was playing with the new La Ferrari, I think we may have a new world's best supercar winner. Cannot wait to see the 918, P1, and La Ferrari shootout. |
