A stock MP4-12C (with 616hp OEM software upgrade) is trapping nearly 135mph in the 1/4 mile in South Florida.
http://www.dragtimes.com/Mclaren-MP4...lip-25329.html That puts it into a performance category just outside a Bugatti Veyron. The Manhart M6 would need a serious weight reduction program to compete in that lofty arena.... |

It is actually only a 25hp increase, but here's the kicker, if you bought a 2012 MP4-12C, McLaren will upgrade your ECU to 616hp for FREE!!!

The M6 has around 200hp more than the Scud, which isn't famous for it's straight line speed, especially over 100mph. The MP4 is a monster in every performance catagory. |

So yeah the MHR M6's performance in the video IS CLOSE within the context of a car that probably traps 130mph (MHR M6) in 1/4 mile vs a car that traps 135mph (MP4) in the 1/4 mile. After the initial jump (meaning that it just shot out ahead of the M6) the McLaren was slowly pulling away from the M6.... far from leaving it from dead. With all things considered, the MHR M6 handled itslef quite well. |

If it's making 700HP then that makes sense, But these new M's tend to produce all sorts of results.
