Vintage and Exotic Car Restoration Livermore - Watch a Corvette Z06 Get Smoked by an AMS McLaren MP4-12C - 925-294-5666


Corvette Z06



The 2015 Corvette Z06 is a supercharged monster with a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft or torque at the ready. It has a 0-62 MPH time of 3.1 seconds and will leave a lot of cars choking on its dust. The less powerful McLaren MP4-12C should be on the list of cars that will be left behind by this Corvette, but this video proves otherwise.

This clip features both a 2015 Corvette Z06 and a 2012 AMS McLaren MP4-12C out on the open highway. It looks like someplace sunny and warm with all those palm trees passing by in a blur, but the biggest blur is the Corvette disappearing into the distance behind the McLaren. It’s absolutely no contest as the two line up on the road and it looks like the Corvette driver completely forgets that the car has a gas pedal.




Adding insult to injury, the driver of the Corvette is all on his own without a passenger while the McLaren has someone in the passenger seat filming the video. That adds a little extra weight and weight may be what settles this match and gives the McLaren with its 625 horsepower and 433 lb-ft of torque the win.
The Corvette weighs in at 3,524 pounds while the McLaren comes in at 2,868 pounds. Combine that weight difference with the AMS tune and you have the results in this video
