(Demon runs drag radials and a customized drag racing suspension set up so it has a traction advantage that will get it there quicker. Trap speed is a much better indicator of power to weight though.)
I grabbed the Mclaren printout from the video. Only thing is we don’t know the d/a during this run, the track is in Canada so it might have been nice and chilly lol

That makes more sense. I guess to pick up that kind of speed in 1.5 seconds would’ve probably required nos lol. Still think the car is modded or the equipment was being generous. I don’t think the cold temps would give the 720s that much of a boost, but who knows.
