Default 918 Spyder vs LaFerrari drag race

Did someone say the LaFerrari is faster? Not according to this video :



Is it a late start from the LaFerrari driver or simply that the 918 is faster? You be the judge...

I would say that the 918 got the jump off the line. It's too bad the camera angle was poor until the race was over to see if the LaF was gaining ground on the 918.

Obviously a terrible start by LaF. The only place the 918 has the full advantage is traction at launch. Once LaF hooks physic will take over. Lighter and more power...

Hi

Was my 918 in the video.

I was quicker to react off the line but the 918 really is unbeatable from a standing start.

The LaF is only quicker at much higher speeds. Think I was 206mph through the beams vs the LaF at 210mph.

Interesting runway mile video. Here at the Texas Mile you have to wear a helmet and fire suit...certainly if you are exceeding 200 mph.
