MP4-12C competition

It's just classic Myles Madden being Myles Madden. The Ferrari 488 GTB doesn't even do 10.3 on a dragstrip with rollout, and that's the 650S' competitor.

"stock 10.3@135 mph"
I don't think the car is stock.
It surely has wider tires (315 vs 305) the Toyo R888 that are equipping this MP4 came only with this size.alti 10y ago
look at this .youtube.com/watch?v=cPJ9ItB7zPI stock 10.3@135 mph. please update

"Nissan VRH35L."
😂
No Tom Walkngshaw Racing very heavily modified it or REDESIGNED it. Possibly completely.
So, Ricardo's REDESIGNING was from a previous English Engineering powerhouses work, in terms of the Mclaren V8 the M838T. It'd be interesting to know what specifically they did and who McLaren/Ricardo purchased the engineering patents and rights from.
So what can I say? Well don't need to say anything. We've got some of the best engineers on the planet thus engineering.
And that's not an alien concept is it? Well, not to any engineers. Where do you think SEXY metrics comes from? Mathematics is a vital cornerstone of engineering.

Even though it had its flaws, this car laid the foundation for P1, 570S and the other McLarens to come, all of which are pretty darn good.

Now, anyone that has the audacity to state that the McLaren MP4-12C is a Nissian GTR in Brioni suit is utterly, unequivocally, mentally impaired.

Dont think that 600 hp car can do that times...
It can be stock but for sure it has far more than 600 hp.
That time is Veyron territory.
Mayby for a moment we will see that 600 hp car does 9,9s 1/4 mile ?

@Viking,thanks,it has been said that in the flesh the car is far more impressive than any photo!! Mine has just come back from its platfrom 10 upgrade,this makes all the cars up to current 2013 spec with the 625ps and upgraded mapping on the gearbox.I couldnt believe another 25ps would make the car feel quicker,but with the quicker gearbox as well its now even more balistic and even tiffney dell has said its made a massive difference(he was talking about the spider,but still the same spec car).I would think the track times will fall again next season as the magazines start testing the new model year,we will see !!
