When it comes to competition in the realm of hypercars, the Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1 are equally impressive performers. The specs on these two gas/electric hybrid hypercars is ridiculously close. The McLaren produces 903-hp, 722 lb-ft of torque and has a top speed of 217 mph. The Porsche 918 Spyder produces 887 hp, 944 lb-ft of torque and has a top speed of 211 mph. When these two cars are put head to head on a drag strip, it really could come down to just how good of a driver is piloting each vehicle.

With that said, both of these hypercars were spotted in California on the runway at Shift-S3ctor's 2015 California Airstrip Attack attempting to trap the best half mile speed. Which one do you think exhibited the best launch control and overall performance?
