I'd join you Hank, but as it's a single-passenger auto, I'll have to get my own.

You'd also have to wait for one to come available; they don't make them anymore.

I hear they do a refit/repaint for 80-100K. ;)

Whatta car, huh? :blink:

It&#39;s a disgusting monstrosity. It&#39;s also incredibly dangerous, there&#39;s no such thing as a "small crash" in a hummer. Run into someone in one of those and you&#39;ve just killed a family. I hope you feel happy.

I do. Thank you :)

A small(ish) McLaren F1 video, here (http://www.arap78.dsl.pipex.com/McLaren.avi). The commentary is, of course, incorrect as the McLaren F1 has no forced induction, so you cannot "hear the turbos whistling".

The McLaren F1 develops 627bhp from a 6.1 litre naturally aspirated engine, try doing that in your mustang or corvette :lol:

The Elise is supposed to be one of the finest handling cars in the world...it&#39;s just a little over-chassised (read: under-powered (read: girly)).

Where did you hear it has bad suspension?

And are you getting one from Santa this year? :lol:

[Skweeky]

I heard it from someone who actually has one.
Don&#39;t know if it&#39;s true, never been in one. The review of it in Top Gear was neat though.

And noob...I know the jargon, my dad was a mechanic and a car dealer. :lol:

(That sounds so sexist)

[Skweeky]

I actually considered studying to be mechanic a few years ago...But I didn&#39;t feel much like doing oil changes and small maintainances for 5 years before they let me touch something worth while :lol:


Well...it&#39;s a fact that most women don&#39;t exactly pay much interest in cars...

Speaking of which, was watching the Barrett-Jackson auction from Florida a few weeks back on the Speed Network, a &#39;67 Shelby Fastback (like the one in Gone in 60 Seconds) sold for &#036;175,000.00 US. I can dream I guess.

The McLaren F1 LM puts out 660bhp from a 6.1 litre naturally aspirated engine. Your Shelby needs a supercharger to match that specific power. The LM also only weighs 1062kg, giving a power to weight ratio of 621bhp/tonne.

Your Shelby produces 750bhp but weighs 1490kg, giving a power to weight of &#39;only&#39; 503bhp/tonne.

Also, remember that the Shelby is based on a car which is nearly 40 years old, the F1 is only 12-13 years old and the technology used on the F1 is hardly dated. The only real development which has transpired since the birth of the F1 is carbon ceramic disc brakes.

In any situation, be it quarter mile strip, racing track or road driving, the McLaren F1 LM is far superior to the Shelby.

Indeeds, opinions are one thing, specs quite another :)

Shelby trim valve covers and air cleaner
850 CFM Holley® Carburetor, Polished single line

The McLaren F1 LM puts out 660bhp from a 6.1 litre naturally aspirated engine. Your Shelby needs a supercharger to match that specific power. The LM also only weighs 1062kg, giving a power to weight ratio of 621bhp/tonne.

Your Shelby produces 750bhp but weighs 1490kg, giving a power to weight of &#39;only&#39; 503bhp/tonne.

Also, remember that the Shelby is based on a car which is nearly 40 years old, the F1 is only 12-13 years old and the technology used on the F1 is hardly dated. The only real development which has transpired since the birth of the F1 is carbon ceramic disc brakes.

In any situation, be it quarter mile strip, racing track or road driving, the McLaren F1 LM is far superior to the Shelby.

Indeeds, opinions are one thing, specs quite another :) [/b][/quote]

Being an automotive technician I would love to get the chance to look under the hoods of both the Shelby and the F1. Even though I am a Ford man my heart belongs to the Mclaren always has always will.

Personally, I&#39;ve always hated so called "SUVs", largely due to the fact that they&#39;re so unsafe to other road users.
Anyway, here&#39;s (http://www.arap78.dsl.pipex.com/X5LM.avi) a short clip of a slightly tuned X5, the X5 Le Mans :)
Sorry it&#39;s so short, but I&#39;m running out of space on the site at the moment.

Nice choice indeed. I like bentlys to.

[neevakee]

here is my dream car.

http://www.lingenfelter.com/images/8420wb.JPG

Faster than a McLaren F1 LM the Lingenfelter Corvette Twin Turbo has specs such as the following

Approx Price &#036;165,000
Horsepower 802hp @ 4600 rpm
Torque 866ft lbs @ 3600 rpm
1/4 Mile 9.2 secs @ 150mph
0-60mph 2.0 secs
Top Speed 240mph

now there has been debate over the times, but they vary by the type of tire you use, but Motor Trend gives these specs so that is what I belive. So for almost a tenth of the price you get a car that is faster and that dosent cost as much as some families income to fix. Also you dont have to send it to Britan if it ever gets broken as Jay Leno says, "Its a chevy and I can fix it with a hammer."

Also on the note of leno he owns a Enzo, McLaren and a Corvette and he drives the Corvette the most because he can fix it.

[threelions00]

hey gen (this is not abuse&#33;) the reason i said i liked the X5 is cos it has more sterdy feel than things like the disco or ML55...the inside design is gorgeous and the outside looks pretty slick too. never got to drive a viper tho...had a go in a bentley tho...took me a few mins to work out how to start it...bloody buttons to start a car...prefer the traditional key myself

[ck-uk]

Keep your mustang shit peeps,

Faster than a McLaren F1 LM the Lingenfelter Corvette Twin Turbo has specs&nbsp; such as the following
I&#39;ve had this debate many a time...

The Lingenfelter is faster than a McLaren F1 when accelerating in a straight line (i.e. on a dragstrip).
It is NOT faster than the McLaren F1 LM in any other situation (race track, road situation, braking).

If you only want your dream car to be able to go quickly in a straight line then that&#39;s fine, but you&#39;re being a little ignorant to the full abilities of the car.

;)

edit: almost forgot. The only reason the Lingenfelter is faster than a McLaren F1 in a straight line is because it uses drag tyres. Put the F1 LM on the same tyres as the Lingenfelter and the acceleration times would be very similar. The F1 LM has a superior power to weight ratio. 621bhp/tonne for the F1 LM versus 528bhp/tonne for the Lingenfelter ;)

:drool: :drool: :drool:

Cheers for that noob.. very cool clip. B)

[4th gen]

A short McLaren F1 clip now. It&#39;s from the Japanese program "Best Motoring" and is a 0-1000m test with a run around the oval thrown in for good measure. The driver isn&#39;t too hot on the change from 2nd to 3rd (probably due to the gear lever being on the "wrong" side for him), but the car still hits the rev limiter in 5th (equivalent to 188mph) within 19 seconds. You can see the car squatting on the run, partly due to the very soft suspension on the F1 and partly due to the acceleration :o

Video (http://www.arap78.dsl.pipex.com/F1.wmv)

[4th gen]

Another short video from Best Motoring. Two laps of Tsukuba circuit, one warm-up lap and one timed lap. Again, the pitching of the car is very evident, but the overall lap time is stunning. Let&#39;s see a Corvette/Mustang/Shelby beat that&#33; :lol:

p.s. Remember that this is &#39;only&#39; the standard F1, not the F1 LM. The LM is more powerful, lighter, more hardly sprung and slightly shorter geared. It can still hit 100mph in second gear though :P

It's as cool as you'd expect but oddly, not very dramatic.
Maybe that's a testament to how good it is or maybe just a statement of how boring a supercar can be at less than 150MPH.
