  • Welcome to Edmunds’ U-Drags, our series of down-and-back drag races! In this video, we put two of the latest and greatest supercars against each other: the absurdly expensive McLaren 765LT vs. the all-new (and glorious-sounding) Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Does the Z06 have the power to take down the best from McLaren? Or do you really get what you pay for? Edmunds’ Clint Simone covers it all in the video above. Now turn up the volume and get ready for a battle of dollars and horsepower!
    What is a U-Drag race?
    A U-Drag race consists of both cars heading down the track like a standard drag race, then braking hard, flipping around and then heading back.

    Does the McLaren do enough to justify its $320,000 price premium over the Z06? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

      765LT is next level car vs the Z06. Hence, the next level price . Z06 vs R8GT vs 600LT vs Technica is way more appropriate, IMHO.

      would like to see plaid vs 765lt with the shorter track gearing and dragtimes driving because he has gottin mid to low 9s with the 765lt on the streets. and then gt500 vs z06 since gt500 beat regular c8 and we have seen base 80k gt500s start pulling from top option 185k z06 around 120 130mph gt500 starts pulling away which shocks me

    Even as a McLaren fan (and someone who is definitely not a fan of the Z06), I think this is a good test for the Chevy... to see how close it can run to a much more expensive, focused car. Yes, it's a pretty big gap, ut the Z06 performs very respectably, all things considered. It doesn't meet the 765LT in performance, but still punches way above it's weight and that's awesome to see. The Z06's power and traction off the line is very impressive.

    I have a C4, have driven C7s and C8s and liter bikes, and have also driven the 720S. The 720S is ungodly fast AND quick, handles really well at speed, and while you really have to use a lot of force with the brakes they are excellent. I found that once the turbos were spooled up the car took off like it got a huge kick in the tail... 30 to 100 is over in a flash. The 720S was as fast or faster than the fastest motorcycles I've ridden. The 765's acceleration must be even more brutal with 5% more HP and a lighter vehicle. Given the difference in the power-to-weight ratios, the Z06 had no chance. That it got beat by the Z06 in 0-60 during the first race was a freak of nature... must have had warmer tires. I'd love to have a Z06... but if I could have any car it would be the McLaren.
