Haa-it's ironic they picked the McLaren against the Corvette. I think the C7 is MUCH better looking!

have to say that those stock tires for the Z51 are not bad at all.

Thats not an actual commercial. It was made by a fan. It was posted here a few days ago

None the less he did a great job and very cool video

I have a z51 on order but even I know that the Corvette has absolutely no chance against an mp4-12c. A 458 has a hard time keeping up with the 12c.

On a tight track like Willow Springs or VIR, the Z51 will run pretty close to the McLaren and is more predictable in the limit. (The 12C has a habit of soiling driver's pants at certain times.)

My guess is the LT4 equipped Z-car will be a better match. The McLaren has a turbo charged 3.8L V8....the supercharged 6.2L LT4 will have bags and bags more torque at all RPMs and, combined with that slick e-Dif, it will be the great equalizer, regardless of relative peak HP.

Great commercial, BTW. GM needs to hire this guy !

The puddle in front of the McLaren was classic.
