It hasn't taken long for the McLaren 765LT to break the 9s 1/4 mile time! At Palm Beach International Raceway, @petfred's new 765LT achieves an insane 8.916s. Despite the heat and humidity, with just downpipes and a tune, it has no problems showing what it can do.
The 765LT has quickly become the new undisputed supercar drag racing champion, capable of achieving 9.3s times in stock configuration when equipped with Toyo R888r tires. Brooks from DragTimes has taken numerous runs out with his to demonstrate exactly what it can do, even getting into the 9.3s range on the stock Pirelli Pzero tyres too.
However, roll-up @petfred's 765LT, a car already fitted with downpipes and a tune to take power up to 894hp at the wheels. With M Engineering in charge of the tune, Brooks and Gidi at the wheel, and the car set for action at Palm Beach International Raceway... impressive times are expected.
Fastest run:
ET 8.916s
MPH 157.85
60' 1.460

That didn't take long! The new McLaren 765LT is stupidly fast out the box; give it downpipes and a tune and it can crack under the 9s 1/4 mile. What will beat it? (Other than the Tesla Model S Plaid Plus!)
@Car Culture Nation Mustang is NOT a super car, what planet you on?? Look at the design language and the engineering that goes into a super car, carbon chassis, light weight materials, suspension aero etc, Mustang has and will always be a mass produced Muscle Car, it’s a brick ffs!!, stupidest comment I’ve read for a long time
@Jak _ but the McLaren cost stupid amounts of money . I do not like seeing Super care on the drag strip because they are not built for drag racing they have no history. ..Europe and most of those car enthusiast looked down at drag racing for decades and all of a sudden they interested. Chrysler ,Ford,GM magazines plus muscle car magazines evolve around drag racing. Mustsngs have run in 5s, Euro car guys cannot argue because muscle car guys and Hot Rod guys are the real fans of drag racing..in the UK ,Audi,BMW, Lamborghini, McLaren drivers are acting like Drag Racing is brand new sport , non of those manufacturers have built a drag car from factory non, and until they get an NHRA title their fans can shut up. American car guys here get lots of stick when it came to track now it's our turn, our cars have ran 7s for decades. They need understand Drag Racing is part of American car culture so there overpriced over engineered cars running 8s in 2021 ain't all that when muscle was doing that decades ago.
@CalvinAD7 no because Super cars are not built for for drag racing . Muscle cars have history in drag racing, Super car owners do it because it is the in thing for them. Muscle have ran 9s for decades. No Euro car manufacturer has made a factory drag car. Drag racing purists like me only want to see gasses, muscle, hot rods and Dragsters. For years Europe prestige enthusiasts mocked drag racing and now they doing it like its new. On circuit fine I do not mind Super cars but on a Drag Strip they look out of place. Are you going to see a pro street McLaren?
@Car Culture Nation lots of these people are not into drag racing at all they just see flash badge , I would rather have the Mustang, Muscle cars have ran 8s for decades.. and run into 5s , there super cars are built for drag racing, why is it all of a sudden people into Super cars are into drag racing all of a sudden when muscle car people been into it since muscle cars were built from 50s and 60s
Model s plaid plus might beat it stock. Not mentioning tuned
Do Americans only drive in straight lines or something? It's a great time but so one dimensional compared to what the car can do and is actually designed to do, destroy the world's best roads and circuits
The colour scheme is absolutely rancid, who in their right mind thinks this looks nice?
You don’t call down pipes and tune “heavily tuned”, it’s like the first steps in tuning
What's that in metric time
Is this a stock one?
Muscle cars have ran these times for decades. How come Super cars/ Euro car people have taken interest in Drag Racing all of a sudden. For years they mocked Drag Racing. I suppose to be impressed with a $300,000 car running 8.9s when in 1992 at fastest car in America shootout cars ran 8s back then they costed prob like 25-30 grand to build. Yank cars got stick on track racing but now the very sport Euro car enthusiasts criticised for decades they all of sudden decided it's cool.
Worst case of front brake dust ever.
Why do I have the urge to take this guys dinner money off him 🤷♂️
Hope Everything is Good Shmee150 i like Everything on your channel but i have just one problem you over talk on the channel and there is no practicality (please understand me am not criticising you) but it is quite something i have over seen on the channel. please try to change by adding more practicality like the stradman, DDE etc i love the channel and all the cars. But please try to change Thank you
It’s not any faster than a 720s with the same mods. Makes the same whp.
SUPRA OWNERS : HOLD MY TURBO !
I forgot what a Tesla is
Souded like the last two runs he hit the rev limiter briefly? (different gears each time though), would have lost a couple of tenths so 8.9 if perfect changes, as per run 3.
never seen people getting exited about a car going in a strait line
WTF! ITS NO RECORD!! its a tuned car if it was stock we could talk,but this is NOT again NOT "the new undisputed supercar drag racing champion" its tuned so it doesnt matter if it has 900 or 2000 bhp.and besides its a mclaren with such poor build quality it will break down anyway.the brits just cant make a good car..
That was really very very fast 🤔 Lol 👊
Embarrassingly slow! Nothing over a 3 second quarter mile is impressive!
"Heavily modifed"?
HOLY 💩 9 and under 9 secs. That’s F ING CRAZY😱😳.
You gotta meet Cletus at the Freedom Factory before you leave USA
NON STOCK 765lt coff coff
Cheeeeeeeeeerrrrrsss
Love everything about this car.
Nice
Downpipes and a tune is hardly “heavily modified” ...Damn fast but it’s not that more modified than the stock car
"Heavily modified" - just a tune and downpipe
sick car but that gradient paint job ruins it for me
That record was done by the driver Gidi who owns the record breaking Nissan GTR
Wow! so fast it stripped the paint back to bare carbon.
Sick
765LT is one of the most exciting cars to hit the market in a while. I can't think of anything better that we know of coming this year.
God it’s ugly though.
This vlog looks mad rushed lol
We know that you are shmiii so don’t repeat that
thats faster than P1 holy!!!
Give a 720S the same treatment, with its less track-focused, more streamlined, aerodynamically efficient bodywork, it'll comfortably beat that. America is the only place in the world where they are okay with the current horsepower war within the supecar world.
We want a stock 765LT and SF90 drag race!
Tim sees any tween turbo V8 - pulls out the chequebook.
It's also got Toyo Tires, but big deal. They're still street legal, but sticker than the stockers.
That 765lt will give the dodge demon a run for its money
*Dodge demon left the chat*
Those turbos sound insane!!. Also I’m guessing this is after you hung out with SG and the crew judging by their SVJ and SV being there
Tim I want updates on your Senna. I absolutely love your senna
I wanna see this go against StangMode's Black Mamba.
Why, from what I have seen that mustang is only in the mid-high 9s.
The third run at 6:30 is the one with the record
Supra Mk4 did it in 5.97
And funny cars do it under 4 seconds. Whats your point?
@carwow time to get this Vs 911
Matt going to have to retract his initial review of the 765lt along with Chris Harris because they basically said it wasn’t impressive and both went on and on about 911 turbo s and I get it Porsche finally caught up but McLaren just pulled off again 🤣. They uploaded a 911 turbo s vs demon video same day as this.
Not stock... Not interesting.
What a weapon!
Possible shmeemobile when the 765LT spider comes out ? 🤷♂️😏
Extra padding on the seats for fat Americans 😂😂
Shmee you need to touch base with Cleetus McFarland whilst touring America. What he has achieved and his cars are unreal. Not in the caliber of this car but very fast.
Wats Brother up Schmee ✊ Respect how do u like you're Merlot ?
2:37 what's falling off?
Heavily or lightly modified?
exhaust and tune...lightly modified.
So much nicer than an electric car sprint. Great sound and aggressive acceleration. Wonderful.
“Heavily modified’” = Downpipes and exhaust mow? LMFAOOOO
Sf90 stradale 🤔
Grew up around Fred’s cars in San Francisco. Used to always ride my bike past his garage hoping he was outside doing launches or something crazy by palace of fine arts. I think one of my favorite ones of his cars was his wide body fiat 500 abarth built by gt auto concepts. Sick to still see his cars around even 10 years later
You have to go and see the GTR that Giddy drives on the drag strip getting 6 second passes from a 4 litre V6 Twin Turbo Nissan GTR R35
NGL, it's the personalities of the owners and cars is what has been an true eye opener over the years.shmee,please never change.your personality is such an infectious kind.I know you don't beat on other's cars that you've been incredibly lucky to drive like how some might want to.thank you very much for taking us along for those incredible drives. We are appreciative of that
Carwow when are you gonna race this?
They’re still salivating over the Porsche, just uploaded a video same day as this lol.
Americans are easily pleased.... driving in a straight line, great. Why would you not do that in spoiler down mode? There can't be any benefit in having it partly raised.
Shmee I’ve always wanted to know what the average mpg of cars like this get
Thats way more than 765hp
1/4 mile too short for this car..must be 1/2 mile run..especially if race Tesla Plaid
Don’t tell Dom Torreto
It's running a 100 octane tune so over 1000 hp. 100 octane tune would boost stock hp by 25%. 880 hp x 1.25 is 1100 hp. A 1500hp chiron pur with the 380 kmh gearing could do under 8 seconds too
its about time u took the senna there
Spinning wheel pull away is British for burnout.
wonder what the SF90 would do
You should get one of these
Insanely quick! Wish we had the warm weather here in Wichita! Hope you can bring some this way on the tour 😉
If you spend over $100,000 I’ll supercar or more on the Hypercar and I can’t do under 10 seconds in a quarter mile you got ripped off
what is this gibberish?
Love the body and engine on the car. I’ve seen more impressive Hyundai interiors though.
In 3 years from now I will be getting one of these they have always been my dream car
I remember when one had to pour 6 figures into a street car to do a 9 sec. 1/4 mile! We've come a long way in 20 years! 👍😎
@Nikola L. Hi Nikola! Yes, I agree with you. Cars today are much more powerful and expensive. My 1977 Fiat X 1/9 weighed 1,955 pounds and had 74 hp. It did zero to 60 mph in about a month. 😂 Top speed of 90 mph with the wind to my back and going down a steep hill! It's cool to see a street legal "mostly stock" McLaren that is this fast! Cheers!
Well, this is a few times six figures so nothing new here.
Everyone does it but Shmee150 does it with class.
Shmee...the first video i saw i was disappointed. Now everyday i look forward to your posts. Your an excellent journalist. And look forward to your vids every day. Your awesome.
You’d be really impressed with Cleetus’s manual trans corvette running 7.70’s. Probably has $20k in it? Pulls down the chicks bigtime.
Wow
Did you see stangmode there?
Gidi knows how to drive!
Great stuff...Glad you are out of the UK for a while and enjoying some sun, warmth and maskless freedom there in FL. You should go to a gun range next🤔. 👍
New Shmee mobile McLaren 765LT ??
When you can't decide on a color
this in a weird way puts the speed of the new tesla in perspective, a 4 door electric car that is heavy as hell can beat a McLaren WILD
@Joshua Sha again, no tesla has even made a 9 sec pass. The Plaid model hasn't done anything since it isn't even in production, lol.
@E K the new tesla model s plaid plus has a sub 2 second 0-60 and a quarter mile speed of sub 9 , and Tesla’s are usually faster than advertised, so I can imagine the roadsters would be faster than that so yes Tesla has fast cars
I dont think any Tesla has beat this. Not sure what you are talking about. I dont think any Tesla has even made a 9 second pass, let alone an 8 second pass.
****I will ALWAYS call that track (MOROSO). Old school guys know what I'm talking about. 😁👌
Damn it's crazy to think that you were by my house such a small world
Regarding the seats I think this is a new option that you can spec out and it does come in the middle east as well
Yes sir yes sir yes sir .......
I asked for a 10 second car not a 8.91 second car
That thing is stupid fast, good job McLaren!
Shmee is fully in love with the carbon fiber..
0:08 Downpipe and tune = "Heavily modified" on planet Shmee150 😀
@ my home track :-)
80° isn’t hot haha. I’d hate to see you there in the summertime. Lol
Petfred did good 🔥
It is fast for a street car. Also makes me realize just how fast Cleetus' cars are which run deep in the 8's time after time and dip into the 7's. And they are dirt cheap by comparison.
