Porsche 935 vs Merc-AMG GT R Pro vs McLaren 720S Spider

Not exactly a fair comparison, but impressive performance by the GT R Pro.

Sadly the pro just can't compete in this comparison (it's an odd choice of car to put in there), and is a terrible drag car. It would probably cost you close to the price difference between the Pro and the 720s, to get the Pro down under 3sec 0-60, and you'd still lose to the 720s every time.

The 720S is alien technology. I'm constantly impressed by its performance. I wonder how the LT version will compare...

It’ll be epic.

As for the above comparison it’s a complete load of bollocks. What’s next? The Pro versus an NHRA Top Fuel dragster? That’s valid, right?

I think they needed to have an experienced GTR PRO driver in the car and;
upgrade the hp and torque with a Weitech or Renntech Upgrade.

The GTR PRO at 577hp should be a 3.0 -2.9 sec 0-60 car factory stock USING THE RACE option.

To be clear with the upgrades, the GTR PRO still may not beat either car but it would be a very much closer second.

Regards
