Yeah, totally agree with you. Light, powerful cars, little or nothing in the way of driver aid.Quote:

Any model, they're all incredible.
Here's a must see Speed 12 video (if you haven't already seen it)[/b][/quote]
*uNz[i] watches 4th's video
:drool: :drool: :drool:
Cheers for that noob.. very cool clip. B)
A short McLaren F1 clip now. It'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'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
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's see a Corvette/Mustang/Shelby beat that! :lol:
p.s. Remember that this is 'only' 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

I hope one day to be able to afford a Ferrari. I'm a Porsche fan at heart though
Porsche man here too....but the 360 spider....hard choice...feels so good to drive and rarely seen round my parts...but if i had the money...one of each for good measure...both in silver (not a red car fan)
