That should be pretty good .

............sure but stock tire to stock tire though so then we can see the 765LT 9.40's to maybe 12's in the PBD GT500......or it hits the guard rail. Forget the price - that green beast is just unreal and impressive engineering .

It’s rare to be that good stock. Very rare.
Truly impressive engineering masterpiece.
I think it’d look better in another color but that green is definitely an eye grabber and could be rare/help resale.
Great weather, great track but absolutely no excuses to say bone stock on stock street rubber running 9.4@150!
Gotta love technology!

Among many amazing stats , is the fact that this monster weighs in at 3020 without driver. That’s incredible feat.

Yeah, they have those cars pretty much dialed in and climbing!!

That's why it would be a good race even though the GT500 is modified. Both cars are very consistent so I bet the race would be divided by only a few hundredths of a second, definitely no more than a tenth.

It would be a great race indeed.
I agree.

Will be interesting to see if they can both enable/engage launch control and still cut a light. Seems a lot of the heads up stuff he does doesn't turn out so well due to the need for LC and timing it against the tree, etc.

My moneys on the Macca in a 2/3 battle. I'm not convinced the GT500 will just rip off 9.3x passes every time....we shall see.

Is it a street race or one at the drag strip? Street race ill take the 765LT. Actually with Brooks driving, ill take the Mac at the dragstrip as well.

I’m not sure that the gt500 clicks off those times nearly as consistently. Can’t imagine it would on the street. Would be an awesome race. Both cars are wonderful.

Pretty cool to see both of them run side by side . 765LT hits much harder of the LC then 720S , seems like both of them have the same 3K rpm LC . Would be interesting to see how much boost 765LT runs in 1st gear , I know 720S runs 10 psi only in first gear

Puts a couple tenths on the Demon. Not bad. But the question is, would you rather have a Demon and a GenV ACR and a Diesel 3500 and a trailer, or the 765LT? Hmmm

Joking aside, sort of, this thing is pretty crazy. It does make sense though with the progression of technology and R&D. I mean the 2020 GT500 for $80k is nipping at the heels of supercar times on road courses, and it's 1/4 mile being within .5 second of the Turbo S, F8, etc. is pretty wild.
