Every now and again we run across some crazy footage of people doing crazy or amazing things with their cars. In this case, it?s both. What you?re about to witness is a rolling start drag race between what looks like a stock McLaren MP4-12C and a modified, second-generation Cadillac CTS-V.
While we don?t have any information on the race nor its participants, the Caddy?s supercharged, 6.2-liter V-8 is obviously massaged into making a touch more than its stock 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque. Aftermarket wheels and tires further tip off the Caddy?s hidden potential.
The drag race starts off innocently enough with both cars rolling to the start line. At that point, it?s all gas. The GM small-block?s supercharger whines like a baby at midnight as the Caddy crosses the line ahead of the 616-horsepower, $239,400-McLaren supercar.
This race just goes to show you; a little know-how, some good aftermarket parts, and a solid project car can become something unbelievable.
