Ladies and gentlemen drivers, perhaps you're wondering how the Californian supercar scene looks nowadays. Well, I've brought along a piece of footage delivering a generous sample of this, with the McLaren 720S and the Ferrari 488 Pista in the title above being just a slice of this high-octane cake.
The adventures we have here took place on the streets of Orange Country. And we're looking at a squadron of supercars that got together in the middle of the day, with their goal being to see which one can reach the horizon quicker.

For instance, the said Italian exotic and Woking animal duked it out on more than one occasions, with their brawls being filmed on the move.

Keep in mind that the Maranello machine and the British missile pack surprisingly similar tech sides. So the twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8 of the Fezza delivers the same output as the 4.0-liter TT V8 animating the Macca, namely 720 hp and a peak torque of 770 Nm.

Nevertheless, the McLaren 720S has delivered sharper quarter-mile times - I'm not sure if the Ferrari has gone below the 10.0s mark, while the Brit can pull such stunts.

Well, according to social media gossip, it looks like both supercars had been aftermarket-massaged, albeit having been gifted with moderate goodies.

You can find the twol roll races of the Ferrari 488 Pista and the Mclaren 720S at the 4:36 and the 9:05 point of the clip below. However, the rest of the video also deserves attention, since it's packed with races involving machines such as a heavily modded Lamborghini Murcielago, among others.

P.S.: Please don't use this stunt as an example. In other words, it's best to head for the drag strip when those hooning urges kick in, so you can keep things on the safe side and enjoy the prepped surface for sweeter 1/4-mile times.
