Morning everybody, it's Brooks from dragtimes.com. It's 6 a.m. The morning of the want-to-go fast in Immokalee, Florida
I got I'm bringing out the McLaren 720s and the Ford GT
Got a bunch of stuff to pack up and get in here
And then I got about five or six friends coming over to cruise over there
It's about an hour and a half drive out there
racing starts at 9 a.m. And
You know, we're gonna get some good runs in with the 720 and the Ford GT
Since the Ford GT's got zero storage luckily the most versatile supercar the 720s is gonna hold everything my stuff's we got
We got helmet
Camera bag about 40 pounds of camera gear and cameras and GoPros overnight bag. We're staying in Naples
For GT got both cars in the charger ready to go. Plus we got Adam's stuff and some other people's stuff, too
they want to bring out the
tire warmers for 720s
That just went uh made some big power on the dyno, so we'll see how that goes too
So let's load up and wait for him to get here and then head out
Everybody broke some back times here. It's super windy. We're out here at the half-mile want to go fast event
We got Lewis here with the Ferrari 488. We ran yesterday with the Ford GT
I'm not sure if you've seen that video yet or not, but not sure what order would from the videos up
But now we got McLaren 720s Ferrari 488 obvious 720s faster
But nonetheless, we're out here and kind of running out of matchups to put together
So we figured we'd do it. You also got a Porsche running like 166. Yeah turbo turbo s-porsche ran 166
Is it coming off the line pretty good? Yeah
Wow, so maybe we do that versus 720. I'll make fun. See if I can catch it, right?
So, all right, so we're gearing up we got the cameras on and we're gonna run the 488 versus the 720
I've done quarter-mile races 724 you before but now we got twice the distance to go
So, let's see how it goes
I'm gonna give you a little jump off the hit and then I'll see how long it takes me to catch you cool
Let's do it. All right, buddy
Oh
McLaren 720s first Ferrari 48 not really close at all
However Ferrari's got a replacement coming the Ferrari f8 tributo and I'm actually pretty interested in that car
It's got 700 horsepower or 710 horsepower matching the McLaren 720s
I don't think it's gonna be as light but nevertheless got a lot more horsepower and
I'm guessing they are coming to gun for the McLaren 720s
So if you can't quite get your hands on a pista, then the Ferrari f8 might be an option
Ferrari do a Ferrari dealer actually reached out to me and there might be a possibility that I might get that car
So I'm still kind of going back and forth with them
Seeing what the options are see if I want to pick up one of those and try out another Ferrari
Now in a little garage update if you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw there was a Porsche in my garage
And that is right here. We actually took it out to the fuel run drag strip. It's not mine. It's my buddy
Randy's Claris guy on Instagram. He's actually starting his own YouTube channel
So look forward to seeing some stuff from Randy coming soon, but let's just check out this car really quick
So this is a Porsche
911 turbo s in black as you can see this thing's upgraded from boost logic making over
800 horsepower
To the wheels. I got a chance to drive this and have it for a couple days store in my garage and it's really really fast
You'll see some results that we did at the drag race
at fuel run and we're gonna be posting this up though soon, but I never actually owned a Porsche and
This was kind of a good experience for me to kind of take a look at one
Experiencing especially when it's upgraded with a lot of horsepower. We got the V box in there
We got a lot of testing and such. This has got the center lock wheels. These are aftermarket. It looks like BBS
Carbon ceramic brakes with the green calipers things is wicked
Randy also has the SVJ that did the wheelie and a 720s that we ran as well
His 720s has a tune and exhaust and they're still working on the tune, but I end up going 9-4
I think at a hundred and forty nine miles an hour at the fuel run
So let me know in the comments. Do you think we should bring a Porsche to the channel for real?
My goal has always been to get the 918 spider. I like the hybrid design. I like the all-wheel drive
It just all around just does really well beat me in the 720s at the half mile a while ago
but that's a ton of cash and you could pick up one of these and dump about 30 grand into it and be faster than
The 918 spider and faster than a bunch of cars
So I'm still considering it not sure what I'm gonna do Ferrari f8 Porsche, of course still got the Ford GTs over here
We actually got to run these two so that's coming soon
I'm gonna get these two on the road course and do some acceleration testing. It's gonna be pretty interesting to see
700 horsepower in this one 650 here manual transversion manual transmission versus the DCT. I'm gonna run some trailers here
We got a lot of stuff coming. We got this Porsche
We got the McLaren 720s first a race gas fueled GT to RS that we got coming and a bunch of other stuff
So make sure you subscribe and we'll keep those videos coming. Thanks for watching
