Now you sound exactly like the GT-R fanboys..

The MP4 is faster. Deal with it.

Turbo is relatively underpowered and overweight.

What IS interesting is that GT2RS is lighter and has more power and still slower than MP4 600hp.

That MP4 might be tuned? The time/trap is in Lambo territory and if I remember correctly, there are a few vids of those two going head to head and the lambo beat it handily.

I have driven McLaren (with Atomic Z in the car).
Car is insanely fast and capable stock. almost like a video game (although I dont play).
They run low to mid 10's stock in the quarter with a high trap speed. I cannot imagine how quick they are (light weight + launch control + lots of power, etc) when modded.
This is not a car who's performance in any aspect can be taken lightly.

There is a software update for McLaren owners to the 620bhp version which makes it alot faster. Its 6sec faster to 300kmh and I have seen my friends car killing Aventadors and 700bhp GTRs over here. The 4th gear acceleration onwards is very very strong. My friend chose the titanium sports exhaust together with the super lightweight alloys option, and he claims it makes a difference too.

The cars are pretty close. Different outcome, but once at speed they seem similar

The initial batch of mp4-12cs would be very similar to the turbo s but the updated ones are alot faster.

Check out this comparison
