Still the MPH says a lot. The ttS was just plain slower. I actually didnt see that coming....

P car driver needs to practice more on launching and use of the light if you leave on the 3rd green you slept at the wheel. With a good launch that will be a closer race.

The MP4 is nearly a second faster in 0-200 km/h.

1/4 mile times can vary greatly based on driver...especially if a driver is un able to get a good launch. The fact that in all 3 runs the Turbo S was almost 10 mph slower means a great deal. From a roll on the hyway than McLaren would straight walk away.

McLaren CLEARLY the faster car with a 7mph higher trap speed. I drove one at the Vegas Exotics. Insanely fast car that ate up the staights and just took corners like a champ!

Both are 3.8L TT but the MP4 is almost 500 lbs lighter with amazing launch control and suspension. It takes the Turbo S in the straight and spanked the GT3 on the track as well.

2 things,
1. It wasnt the launch, it was reaction time. they both pulled 1.6 60' which is pretty good.

2. The Mclaren is just plain faster. 134mph trap is fast.

Well, slightly used TTS for $160k - that is correct.
MP4 does NOT cost $500k, it is $300k, I've seen slightly used (3000km) for $255k.
