The Ferrari SF90 Stradale and McLaren 765LT are two of the quickest combustion engine-powered supercars on the planet and while the Ferrari has a power advantage, the two are extremely well matched.
Popular YouTuber DragTimes owns both an SF90 Stradale and a 765LT and recently brought them together on the drag strip for a series of races. Which do you think will come out on top?
Looking at the spec sheets, one would assume that the Ferrari would have the advantage. After all, it is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine supplemented by three electric motors that combine to produce 986 hp. It also has the advantage of being all-wheel drive.

Meanwhile, the McLaren is driven by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 without any electrical assistance and delivers only 755 hp. It also sends its power exclusively through the rear wheels.
During the first of the three races, the McLaren recorded a quarter-mile pass of 9.522 seconds at 145.89 mph while the Ferrari narrowly came out on top with a 9.521-second pass at 147.18 mph. The second race is also very close with the SF90 recording a time of 9.560 seconds at 147.01 mph compared to the 9.569-second pass at 145.36 mph of the 765LT.
Things are also razor-thin in the third and final race where the Ferrari stormed down the quarter-mile in 9.577 seconds at 146.69 mph compared to the 9.591 seconds at 144.97 mph of the McLaren.
