Thread: Mclaren F1 is still very quick.

I went ahead and inputted the specs that I found. Are these correct for the GT40 from this site? I did not use the superformance specs, which are better. GT40 Specifications Here's what the program spit out: I dont think that the numbers are too far off real life, cool program. I know that the Veyron has special gears and is not limited to 6, I did the best I could to figure out what it would translate out to be as a 6 speed, program has...

Hi Roger, The drag racing element of the contest would put a ZF equipped GT40 at a slight disadvantage given the jog in the shifter from 1st to 2nd gear but wouldn't bother a T44 equipped Mk11. From 0-100mph the new cars may get ahead but after that the '40 would surely hold them. These cars are bloody quick once past the century mark. Gotta be some data out there...

Rather have the McLaren.....if I couldn't have a GT40, which is better looking than either.

Holy Moly! Are you serious Marcus? By the way, how is the diet going?

The F1 for me too. Love the look, the central driving position, the abilty to change my own gears, it carries 3 and that glorious sound. Plus after what Marcus wrote I don't like anyone telling when I can or can't drive the S--T out of my car. I paid over a million $ and have to wait for approval? Not F'in likely!

Great clip, thanks for posting it. Cheers

but then again why would you, as if i recall correctly at full noise it will empty the fuel tank in a few minites, and its to bloody heavy to push to the next gas station. kaspa

If I was ever in the situation....(doubtful).....I'd have the F1 every time. Simon

I can't say that I know, but I'd be somewhat distressed if it wasn't annihilated by both the F1 and Veyron. Drag racing is rather vulgar though
