Sounds pretty cool.

As for Ferrari upping their game, their goal has never been to be the builder of the worlds fastest street cars. Not sure where anyone gets the idea. Not aware of a time in their history when they were.

 

Makes HyperCars irrelevant. What a car.

 

Unpopular opinion 1: 0-60 times are irrelevant.

Unpopular opinion 2: 0-60 times on a sticky drag surface with sticky tires are even more irrelevant.

 

Yeah I don’t really believe that time in real life conditions.
Too fast for a twisty road anyway

Every company does the same in one test or the other. Professional driver under conditions no owner would ever subject their own car to.

Bragging rights for publication in advertisements and teenager magazine writers will say it over and over every chance they get in the hopes of being given one to test.

 

0-60 times are far more relevant than top speed, 1/4 mile or almost any other stat. Perhaps 5-60mph is more relevant. You can actually go 0-60 on public roads, without breaking the law and 0-60 in less than 2.5s is a helluva alot of fun.

0-60 on a sticky drag surface is fairly consistent metric to compare cars on, 0-60 on some random street can vary significantly depending on the pavement.

 

This may be true but 150 mph is relevant.

 

I have commented in other places about this car. It surpassed the Dodge Viper ACR as my fastest street legal non hyper car. It is thrilling on the street and on the track. It is extremely fast, with excellent torque, speed, and is coupled with quite satisfying handling. I liked it so much after tracking extensively, I drove it to and from my home eight hours each way. It is a stunning car in so many ways. All this from someone who sold their 720 in under six months because I found the car dull.

The 765 LT is a baby Senna GTR: my fastest track car not counting my 2006 F1.

 

No surprise



0 -204 mph


.

 

And to think that the new Tesla Model S Plaid+ is faster than that. Crazy times.

I would argune the sticky surface thing.

I don't think brooks is having the track NHRA prepped when he goes out there.

And if you have ever been to a drag strip... Those things are as slick as an ice skating rink unless it's prepped ALL THE WAY DOWN THE TRACK.

I almost totalled my viper grabbing 4th gear at firebird raceway because I thought I could be mean to it on that shift because it shouldn't be slick this far down and the car is going so fast.

Friggin almost lost it.

That NEVER EVER happen on the street.

Ever.

 

Great point.

 

Beast (race gas, cool temps)

similar results (race gas, hot temps)

Beam me up Scotty!

 

Brooks just ran 9.37 at 151.8 with stock tires. Not sure if he used race gas or not.

 

DT already did some texting in SF90 and says it’s faster.

Ummm I don’t know what drag strip you go to but there not like Ice rinks as you say. Most tracks how sticky up to the 60ft mark you buggin with that comment just say you can’t drive.

 

I'm in my 20s I went to two different drag strips 4 nights a week. And held an NHRA license... As well as a world record albeit in not that fast of a car.


What your post tells me is you have never driven a car with alot of horse power on a drag strip. Because even with a modest 550hp an unprepped track past the eighth can get slippery even on a sticky tire let alone the 1500 hp cars I've taken down the track.

If they are not prepped they can be ice skating rinks if you drive something other than a honda civic.

Next time try not to be so condescending.

 

Keaton, I am glad to see you are still posting here. Well, one car does come to mind that can run a similar or faster time that is a stock car. It is a hybrid though and yes I know it costs more.



All that being said the 765LT is a beast. One of my customers is getting one (he is an fchatter too) I am excited to hear what he thinks. Have you about thought ordering one?

 

Nice looking car,
BUT
it looks like everything is done for you.
Maybe car company's will come out with a car that will open the door when you get close, start the engine, then take you down the 1/4 in 5 sec, without you doing anything at all.
