The 570s beats the demon from ANY rolling start. Has also beaten a heads/cam/headers C6 Z06, Huracan 610-4, 1000hp big turbo trans am, and a C5 with bolt-ons and Nitrous(150 Shot?).
Definitely overpriced and UNDERPOWERED Euro Trash.
HOWEVER, an 800hp Corvette wouldn’t be fighting for traction or just putting up numbers to put up numbers. The reason why the 570s and 720s pull away from these cars is that they start in low boost for traction and increase the boost at each upshift. Notice how at each shift, the McLarens pull away even harder. After 150mph, the car keeps accelerating at the same pace. It doesn’t drop off until you run out of gears. It’s genius.
And on the topic of not handling 650hp(Z06) I received my May issue of Road and Track yesterday and they drove the ZR1 around NCM Motorsports Park. Here’s what Jack Baruth had to say: “If you like driving a Miata on a road course, you will like this. It’s that good.”

the reason the 570s beats the demon is because it's mid engined. boost by gear is as old as the ecu
You accelerate based on traction, and how much traction you get is dependent on how much of the percentage of the weight of the vehicle you can get on the driven wheels. When you accelerate your forcing weight transfer to the rear. The only time when you have 100% traction is either awd, or a rwd car doing a wheelie. The harder your accelerate in a rwd car, the more weight you transfer. It's a compound effect.
This is exactly why hellcats and demons 1/4 mile times are all over the place. If you don't hook very well, you don't transfer weight well. This is a problem with nearly all front engined rwd cars. The only real solution is slicks.
Mid engined and rear engined rwd vehicles already have a huge advantage over front engine, since they are starting with significantly more rear weight bias. This is why the 570s will beat a demon in nearly every scenario, especially on the street.
