Ferrari 488 Pista Drag Races Tuned McLaren 570S, Obliteration Follows

Let's take a moment to think about the problems the owner of a supercar might encounter. For instance, one might not be able to afford more than a junior supercar. Of course, this might mean the aficionado needs to turn to the aftermarket side of the industry to keep up with the big boys.

Fortunately, these matters are much easier to address than in the past, thanks to both tuners and the Internet. Then again, it's not like taking the said path can make wonders. In fact, I've brought along a drag race that serves as an example for this.

The sprinting confrontation, which can be found in the clip at the bottom of the page, shows a McLaren 570S (and we now have our junior) that dukes it out with a Ferrari 488 Pista.

Even Woking explains that the 570S plays in a league that sits below that of the 720S, since the first is a Sports Series machine, while the later is a Super Series model. So while the Pista matches the 720 hp of the 720S, the 570S's output is, well, explained in its nameplate.

And while the 570S kicks off at around $192,000, you'll have to pay at least $350,000 for a Pista and that's only if you name was on the list.

However, the Woking animal we have here has been taken to the gym, albeit with the list of mods not specified. As for the Prancing Horse, the only mod this might pack is a custom exhaust.

Regardless, the two mid-engined machines recently duked it out as part of a velocity event, with the result being crushing.

PS: Those of you wishing to see what happens when the Ferrari 488 Pista takes on some McLaren its own size can check out this half-mile encounter, which obviously involves the 720S.
