Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray vs McLaren 720S

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the McLaren 720S is the quicker car, covering it in 9.96 s at 145.5 mph against the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray’s 11.43 s — a margin of 1.47 s. To 60 mph the McLaren 720S takes 2.67 s and the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 3.13 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray or the McLaren 720S faster?
The McLaren 720S. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 9.96 s to the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray's 11.43 s, a margin of 1.47 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.67 s against 3.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray reaches 60 mph in 3.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.43 s at 121.0 mph.
What is the McLaren 720S 0-60 time?
The McLaren 720S reaches 60 mph in 2.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 9.96 s at 145.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray trips the lights at 121.0 mph and the McLaren 720S at 145.5 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 11 for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray and 10 of 11 for the McLaren 720S. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
