They dont have anything worthy of being with those cars, well most of them.

McLaren #1 most over glorified car. Granted its badass, I would take some of the other cars there over it. That Zonda is hard to take your eyes off of.

Yup, it completely dominated gt racing during its time and even though it's 10 years old it still holds its own against brand new exotics. Overrated :rolleyes:

Upper left is the Longtail (GT), middle front is the F1, right front is the LM. All the others are GTR race cars.

[N/A EK]

[ShooterMcGavin]

i'll take 2 of each please :D

Every year, the best cars are always in the wheel and tire displays. Last year I sawthe S7 (even though it was in a different area) but in the tire and wheel building I saw the Zonda, 2 or 3 Enzo's, 4 or 5 McLaren SLR's, countless Ferrari's, Lambo's, everything. I remember commenting on the fact that there were more SLR's than MINIs at SEMA.

I'm sad that I missed it this year :(


As for Lambo's, they are nearly a dime a dozen out in LA and Vegas. I saw no less than 10 of them in one day in LA, seriously. These cars are supercars that we are lucky to see once or twice.

I know they look very similar but it is due to the fact that the SEMA car was a converted car, chassis #038 not a true LM. There are very very minor details that show them apart, but I'm a hardcore McLaren fan...

Oh yeah, one more thing. That orange car hidden at the top, not a 911 GT3 :ninja:

[JennB]

It's a RUF. :goodjob:


I have a pic of it on my screensaver at work. (along with about 50 other cars)

[ironchef]

Yea Ruf RT12.

[ironchef]

AHA!!! http://www.pbase.com/nickacs/image/69786010 I knew that silver car at the top wasn't a z8 but a fisker!!!

Maybe the older Lambo's, but as for new ones, you get beat by some kid in a 400whp hatch on the hwy and killed by an evo around a track. Not too impressive too me, Ferrari has more of a racing heritage and not 1 made it on there.

[ZEDEX32]

What happened to TVR Speed 12,Wiegert Vector TwinTurbo and Nissans R390? I think they are the best supercars ever.

Are you serious? Please tell me how a civic is going to keep up with a 600+ hp supercar that does well over 220mph? (still faster than the Enzo) Racing an Evo around a track? That's a joke. Projected lap time from Nurburgring: F1 7:45 @ 159.484 km/h. Evo lap time 8:11 @ 151,274 km/h

As far as racing heritage, McLaren has been involved in f1 racing since 1959 with the team forming in 63, true it's not as long as Ferrari(1948) but it's not that far off. You think McLaren died after the McLaren F1? Let's see, there's the Mercedes SLR McLaren for starters, and wait they still run in F1!

But dont take my word for it, let's use Stats:

Ferrari:
Drivers' Titles: 14
Constructors' Titles: 14
Seasons in F1: 56
Grand Prix: 723
Wins: 183
Points: 3444.5
Poles: 179
Fastest Laps: 184
2005 Average grid position: M Schumacher (8.3) Barrichello (10.6)

McLaren:
Drivers' Titles: 11
Constructors' Titles: 8
Seasons in F1: 40
Grand Prix: 595
Wins: 148
Points: 3041.5
Poles: 122
Fastest Laps: 127
2005 Average grid position: Raikkonen (4.1) Montoya (7.7)

And that's with 16 less seasons!


So once again I don't see where you're getting this idea that they are overrated...

Sorry kiddo, you really need to read some history.....
The McLaren F1 holds/held several records, including the highest top speed (240.1 mph) and the fastest lap speed on a UK circuit (195.3 mph).

In 1995, McLaren debuted the F1 GTR at the Le Mans endurance race. The McLaren took first place, taking it's place in history as doing so on it's first race. In addition to taking the checkered flag, the F1 GTR also took 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 13th places in that race.

To celebrate this extraordinary achievement, McLaren produced five F1 LMs, one for each of the F1 GTRs that finished the 1995 Le Mans race, with the goal being that the LM was a 1995 F1 GTR modified as little as possible to make it a street legal supercar. Consequently the F1 LM sported a more powerful 680 bhp V12, and now owns the 0-100-0 mph world record for a production car by ripping through the tach in a gut wrenching 11.5 seconds while travelling a distance of only 828.4 feet!
