If your car is stock, with stage 3 aero, THAT Ferrari won't trap 135mph in the 1/4. If it would, it would have walked away from you!

If you would have let your passenger watch from the side of the road, you would have made up that car length. 200lbs makes a big difference. awesome race and thanks for the vid.

It's not about the time on a roll race, it's the trap speed... No A8 or 7M haven't gone 135mph stock

Well as long as your Buddy knows and understands that you were running safe and with caution..Bc if not he owns you in Bragging rights...but if you change modes you will have a car link or more on him and you own him ..

The M7 can win the roll with a good driver. I've been saying this all along!

I'm still stuck between both transmissions and just wish I could own one of each!
The M7 has been spinning in the video's. . M7 is fast is a roll down.

Nice work OP!

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised with this result.

I would have expected the Z06 to punish the 458S. On paper the 458S is a pretty impressive machine, but its actual objective performance stats aren't anything like what Ferrari claims for it. It's not a lightweight, it's a porker (again, despite Ferrari's claims). There are a number of reports of 458S's not really being any quicker than a "plain" 458 from a roll. They certainly don't trap anywhere near 135mph, at least, the customer cars don't.

That makes up for about 2 of the 10mph... And that isn't even considering your passenger. I don't see one of those trapping 135 at the drag strip.

458 Speciale is amazing i don't even want to see how much quicker the new 488 is going to be with much more power and a even faster DCT.
