I dont think that they actually tested it & prooved that it beat the McLaren F1, only on paper, like a typical car ad from the manufacturer to hype it up. Might be wrong though, but last thing on their website says theyre still waiting for testing, ??? Not to hate on the car though, that thing is freakin badass, but im still going to have to go with the good ole Mclaren as my favorite car though.


BTW, im at work right now so I cant watch the vid, ill watch it when I get home, so if anything on the vid disprooves my theory above, then

the mclaren is the fastest production car. this thing is not a production car so it could be faster than the mclaren and neither ad would be lying.

yeah the enzo is faster. there are too many fanboys of the F1, but the plain truth is that it's a 10 year old car and though it was way ahead of it's time, it has outdated technology compared to the supercars of today. it loses to cars like the enzo and the koenigsegg and S7 at the track because those other cars have much better handling capability and braking systems. the straight line speed of the euro F1 is impressive but that's about it. oh and it takes forever to reach it's top speed, so it's not really practical for the track.
the bugatti veyron will annihilate it's acceleration times, once it comes out later this year.

Im sorry, I really dont like that bugatti. It looks cool & all but its just not too impressive IMO. You could throw 4 turbos on just about anything & make it that fast, especially a 16 cyl. Its over rated IMO. And WOW, a quad turbo 16 cyl beating an N/A v12, your shitting me...

Damn, what was McLaren thinking for not putting at least 6 turbos on there, what a bunch of dumbasses, maybee they can add another engine or two next time so they can make better magazine numbers
