Let’s nerd out
Watch the video to see the results for yourself, but here are some of the most significant stats from the two races. During the first round, both cars completed the sprint to 60 in less than three and a half seconds — 3.2 seconds for the Z06 and 3.4 for the McLaren. The highest cornering lateral force also belonged to the Corvette, pulling 1.14 g’s thanks to Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. But the top speed award goes to the 765LT, which crossed the finish line at a ballistic 160 miles per hour.
Race 2 mimicked the first go-round, only the McLaren was even faster off the line. The piping-hot Pirelli Trofeo R tires hooked up perfectly, sending the Big Mac to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds (on a very un-prepped surface). The Chevy ran an identical quarter mile in 10.9 seconds, which is incredible for a rear-wheel-drive car powered by a naturally aspirated engine.
