    Not bad, but the '56 has the best of both the '55 and the '57.

    A small(ish) McLaren F1 video, here. 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
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
    With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

    Truly a one-of-a-kind auto with unsurpassed performance.

    The Elise is supposed to be one of the finest handling cars in the world...it'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?

    I heard it from someone who actually has one.
    Don't know if it'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.

    I guess I'm a typical man and you're not a typical woman then :-"

    (That sounds so sexist)

    I actually considered studying to be mechanic a few years ago...But I didn't feel much like doing oil changes and small maintainances for 5 years before they let me touch something worth while


    Well...it's a fact that most women don't exactly pay much interest in cars...
