      Watch a drag race over a mile long between a McLaren 650S Spider and a Ferrari LaFerrari

      You read that right, a LaFerrari actually doing something in the real world and outside Ferrari's control. We are somewhat surprised the owner did not need to get a permission slip signed by the Ferrari CEO to run his LaFerrari without a factory support team and media blackout.

      Putting aside Ferrari's insane policies and self-inflated view of themselves for a moment this is an interesting video showing just how fast the LaFerrari is. It is not going up against a slouch of a car here in the McLaren 650S but clearly has it overmatched on paper.

      The LaFerrari is capable of going 9's and trapping over 150 in the 1/4 mile. This is just much faster than the 135+ miles per hour the 650S traps which is already pretty damn fast. This is the difference between a top of the food chain 950 horsepower hybrid supercar and a very rapid 650 horsepower twin turbo V8 exotic sports car.

      It certainly is nice seeing the LaFerrari do something other than lap the Ferrari test track.

      It's amazing that an upgraded MP4-12C / 650S has a realistic chance of matching the power disparity.

      The EVOMS setup right now is just a mild kit. It's modified oem housings and tuning.

      Imagine when the car gets big turbos and fuel upgrades.

      Ferrari probably had drones watching over just in case the LaFerrari lost.

      The owner of that LaFerrari is pretty active, he has a youtube channel with more runs from another event where he hit 213. I'll try and dig them up...

      Respect to this guy! Not some arrogant $#@!... Most of the people owning such cars feel like royalties, finally someone got a supercar AND drives it like it should BUT most of all, uploads videos etc. so people who cannot afford it, can see it in action - Respect to that dude Click here to enlarge
