I don’t think the Senna’s forte is straight line/drag strip performance. If was developed around track performance, I suspect too much drag for world beating 1/4 mile times.

Wrong. People that baby these cars should not buy them. They are not made to just accelerate hard onto the interstate/freeway and then scramble back down to legal speeds before somebody sees you.

I sat in the GT at the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance last August. I complained to the McLaren representative that i could not fit into any of their cars, and he stated that the GT and latest cars offered more room. I asked him if I could sit in it and he obliged. With a little bit of maneuvering, I fit pretty decently.
FYI, Autocar UK compared the Senna and 720s 1 yr ago. 0-100-0 and trackwork. Senna far faster everywhere under same conditions. Even with a poor start the Senna was faster to 100mph. No 1/4 mile but surely it must be quicker? Get a Senna on the strip, easy 9's.
Faster then the GT500 you were in but even in Vegas with those temps and altitude the GT500 out there was close to 7.0's and a guy just tested his and got 6.2 60-130! Hell with cat delete, long tubes, ported blower, pulley, e85 tune with bigger injectors, and RPM raised which can be done for around 6k + or - and it put out 947 horsepower to the wheels with a 9.9 at 141mph 1/4 mile. That's without the transmission working correct as that is yet to be figured out but it has to as the launch needs help. You can a test to that as your GT killed them 0-60! But so far I'm extremely impressed with the new GT500. When you launch the GT500 though in launch control the traction control kicks in and kills the power off the line!
Brooks this is better than any Motorweek speed test with more direct feedback! John David has nothing on you. Brooks has way bigger Guns too! Go Brooks!
10k Subscribers without any videos. And the corvette does a low 11 sec 1/4mile at 123mph. While the GT will do a low 10 at 135mph plus.. the GT will demolish the C8 in identical conditions and that’s a fact. Bringing up 0-60 is hilarious. The GT is probably a good 3 seconds quicker 60-130mph too
S63 amg coupe is on par with performance has more features (self park,massage seats,distronik ,night vision etc.)the most comfortable seats ever fit and finished bar none. Better reliability? I think so from what I have heard about Maclaren. But Maclaren wins the cool factor easily. Thinking about a trade in. Let's see how they hold up to real word every day driving.
Brooks? What’s been your experience with mclarens breaking? As we’d love to own one but there’s so many videos of them breaking and people complaining about poor service etc
Ins4n3Syndicate every single Mclaren comes out of the same factory in England. The stories of bad reliability are exaggerated as is typical with the internet.
interesting, I hated this car when it came out but I guess its kind of cool. I still don't get why you would get this instead of a 720s, does it have any technology that the 720s doesnt have? I get that the 720s is a more expensive car but it still seems like the much better car.
I like what you do, just one question, aren’t those brand new cars that need to be used a little easy before you can push them to prolong the life of the engine? I am just curious about it.
You should have waited until after the cold front passed us on Jan.5. I guess that rain was the cold front if this wasn't filmed a long time ago. We've had cool and dry air this weekend. That would have produced some faster time, dry streets, better air.

Yes. The McLaren GT is faster than the 600LT. I have 2 family members that literally have those 2 exact same cars and they race all the time like 2 dummies.
Brooks, how much do you drive your Mac? Just curious if you've had any issues... SO MANY disenchanted owners calling out Maclaren for their reliability, and worse than terrible customer support. The good news is that they have TERRIBLE resale, so sub $100k used 720s could be only a year or two away! 🙏🏼🤞🏼
I think the GT will run the quarter mile in about 10.4...looking at the 600 LT which did it in 10.5 and didn t have a time as good as the GT from 60 to 130 MPH. Also getting the Senna on the drag strip would be amazing...maybe putting it against the 918 Spyder that would be a crazy race
@@bigslatt708 Yeah I know but nonetheless Senna is quicker than the 720S in a quarter mile and from what I remember when Brooks raced the 918 Spyder with the 720 S it was a pretty close race between them...so imagine the Senna against 918
I don't understand the Senna, for 1/2 the price you could buy one of Mclaren's Spec GT3 customer program cars for track use and beat the brakes off a Senna. It seems like a way for people with money to stunt, ignorantly
I really don't like the 1ft rollout thing, especially on modern cars with launch control and automatic shifting that do everything automatically. I mean, you got 2.988s 0-60, but without the rollout that is probably ~3.2s, McLaren claims it does it in 3.1 and you mentioned the conditions weren't perfect, so in reality the 0-60 is 3.1s, NOT 2.9s
