It was in their “qualifying” mode which is the wide open mode

I would bet the acceleration in the 296 is better than the 750s. That car is fast. Dragtimes and carwow showed this v. Other McLarens, including the 765lt (a much better performing and looking car) But....hard to argue with your other points, though.

I think this video was so biased it was not even close even if it says in the description that it wasn't. He comes from a mclaren background so obviously he'll talk up mclaren just as someone who has a ferrari background would do the same.

Many of his comments are just fact not subjective. His subjective comments are supported by what others are saying. Just depends on what an owner is looking for. If you want driving dynamics and vehicle feedback the McLaren is the clear choice

Pretty sure he owned more mustang sand corvette’s than mckarens

From what I see in the video. The 296 is in Performance mode, not Qualifying mode even though in the video it's said the car is in qualifying mode. The red flag on the wheel is Performance mode. If he was in Qualifying mode you would see a stop watch on the wheel instead of the flag. Also, he's in Sport mode for the transmission and suspension, not Race mode which makes a big difference too. Basically he was running the car with about 40hp less than it has and also in the mode for road driving and not for track.

Great reviews as always.

750S in 2 years = half its value. 296 GTB in 2 years = similar price to new

@Swish.s4 I never mentioned anything about speed. Although, they're about neck and neck. Simply different approaches to automobiles. So McLaren, while although admittedly incredible performance machines, are not "better" cars. In my, and many other automotive enthusiast's opinion, Ferrari is the superior car, overall. McLaren's umm.. break a lot.

I agree with the review but some might see it as clearly biased as you own the McLaren 🤷🏻.

@@ethen300 i own a 750s and the build quality is much better than the older mclaren models. 1st point. 2nd point, the interieur of the 296 is ugly to be honest and build quality is below mclaren. also the value of the 750s won't drop much, the 296 on the other hand, will drop big times. v6 hybrid is a joke. buy a 488 pista if you want an increase in value. i bet you never drove the new 750s. i owned/ own many sportscars, the 750s is by far the best. better than huracan sto, porsche gt3/gt3rs, gt2rs, turbo s, any ferrari...

Nice breakdown Austin!

Keep on tracking !!!!!

I really like this format, although the more track time the better.

Nearly always see McLarens on the track when doing track days.....can't remember the last time I saw a Ferrari out on a track day. Essentially like comparing a hardcore bodybuilding gym to a spa resort when it comes to these two cars.

How was the 750 handling the temperature? I love McLaren but in some models you can only go hard for 4-5 laps before it starts to get hot and show warning (yellow) for tamp

Hey Austin I’ve been a big fan of your videos and commentary and an even bigger McLaren fan, having owned them since 2013, including 12C/570S/600LT/675LTS/and a 720 Spider and I generally prefer them to other brands just in terms of driving but I’ve spent some time in the new 296GTB and in my opinion it’s the best challenger to the brand yet. The short wheelbase offers more incredible agility thet masks its weight disadvantage remarkably, the V6 engine sounds far better and has a more distinctive sound as it goes through the revs compared to the McLaren, also I think the car is absolutely on par with 750S based on published 1/4 mile times. Either way, if given the choice I’m probably going McLaren strictly in terms of driving dynamics but this 296 runs it a lot closer than I believe you may have given it credit for.

Perfect video. I just finished track day with McLaren 750S and totally agree with you. McLaren 750S especially in specs similar to yours is perfect track car. But at the same time feels more comfortable than my M5. McLaren did great job fine tuning 750S and is one of the best cars in that prica range out there in my opinion.

I'm not surprised, I'm sure you did you're research before you're purchase. To the avg driver both are super cars & great. Picking nits is better left to you or Randy Pobst. What a spec you picked!

Il take the Ferrari all day

Despite 750S having wider/softer front track (for more bite @ the corner) and stiffer rear (to help the rear rotate) over the 720S, it is still showing more understeer than I would like on the limit. Testing these @ 2 different tracks on different days is not what one can call a comparison. In an ideal world, we would have these two on the same truck (same time/temps) and on the same new tire compound as these factors can make a hell of the difference to the handling. Having said that I did enjoy the in car footage, found it informative.

What are those brakes for the Ferrari? They are not the standard carboceramic setup

Speed Phenom Great Video I think your Comparison of your Absolutely Gorgeous and Incredible McLaren 750s and a Ferrari 296 GTB is absolutely incredible and I definitely agree that McLarens are superior on Track

Great comparison and very informative! Ill take the McLaren!

Right on the money in my book, the depreciation is going to be similar, a surprise to many. The 750S is incredible, feels exactly like the 765lt to drive.

On the ferrari you have passenger why?

I think the 765 wing is amazing. Best of any car

Neither Ferrari or McLarens chassis is based on ANY race series chassis. You cannot buy a race series chassis car from either. The Corvette C8 is based on its now defunct GTLM series race cars. Lighter is better, but it is always more expensive as well. Very few people can exploit 800 hp cars on the track to begin with if the track is more than 2 straighaways.
