By now, anybody with even a remote interest in drag racing knows that the McLaren 720S has serious chances of winning any fight against its competitors. Given the straight-line reputation of the Woking animal, one can't help but wonder why people still line up against it, at leat when it comes to stock supercars.
And while we certainly don't have all the answers to the question above, we can mention at least one particular aspect we've learned from the drag race we have here, which pits the Woking animal against a Lamborghini Huracan.

Now, before we dig deeper into the matter, we need to point out we're talking about factory stock machines, even though the driver of the Huracan usually spends his time behind the wheel of Huracans whose outputs start with a "3" and involve four digits. We're refering to Gidi Chamdi, a man who loves drag racing world records.

In fact, both the Raging Bull and the British tool belong to YouTuber Brooks (the man behind the Drag Times channel). Speaking of which, we'll remind you the aficionado has probably completed the break-in process of his 2018 Ford GT, so we should see the slab of America engaging in all sorts of battles soon. Who knows? Perhaps the Blue Oval halo car can give the Macca a run for its money.

Returning to the quarter-mile stunt we have here, the 720 hp McLaren and the 610 hp Lamborghini used a standing start, with this allowing the Italian to make full use of its all-paw hardware.

And what an advantage this was for the Raging Bull - the V10 animal managed to stay ahead of the twin-turbo V8 monster next to it while going through the first three gear ratios.

Note that the quarter-mile times of the mid-engined delights are also mentioned in the video, so you'll be able to get a clear view on this sprinting matter.
