F1 is awsome.

The Viper Venom is good but it can't really maintain the speeds that the F1 can. Not only that but the F1 has fans that suck it to the ground so they can corner better.

F1 around corner

Venom through corner

The F1 is just an amazing piece of craftsmanship and design. It's insane. And you know the thing has a fucking monster of an engine when you are thrown back into your seat in 5th gear.

I care about cars, trust me. Helped restore a 65 Mustang with my grandpa. I am just much more into classic cars then the modern stuff.

Why can't everyone just teleport like I do? It's not that hard... Plus it's more economic, and it gets you there faster

Sentrosi
2003-11-08, 07:09 PM
I'd teleport, but the whole idea of MY atoms getting scrambled then re-assembled. Too many causes for errors, in my opinion.

The McClaren F1 was a wonderful car when it was produced. There are only like 10,000 of them out there today. You can only be insured through Lloyds of London. Also, you can't drive that in the United States in factory condition. You need to have restrictor plates and other things added to it. I will own one of those someday.

Hamma, why make the car look good when all you see out of your rearview mirror just a blur as it passes you?

I love the look of it. I posted pics months ago on the interior of the car. It's basically a cockpit. Driver sits in the middle with the two passengers in seats behind him. Cargo is stored in the rear wheel wells. The car is sweet. Babe magnet or not, I could pick up chicks in that. I could pick up chicks in a tank as well, or rule the world with Shiela. (cheap RvB blast)

Too bad you also got Squeeky's...ahem...parts now. Suggest you re-teleport yourself back home and just drive over. You'll have your...ummm...parts in their right spots, and Squeeky won't be shocked to see you with a......errrr....ummm......male genitalia.

No, no, no, I went there to make hot chocolate and dinner. Poor guy hasn't had any good food since he left my house.

But yes, the McLaren looks like a pretty nice car, other than its design (of which I'm not very fond).

I'd like to take that F1 for a spin, I bet if I threw a couple tanks of Nos in there, shifted to 5th gear, and drove through Squeeky's house I could go back to the future!...But really, that's a really kickass car.

even if I had a million bucks burning a hole in my pocket, Im betting I could find a better way to spend it than a car.

yeah, very nice. but having a car like that in the states is akin to trying to drive an F14 to work everyday. sure it looks cool, but where are you supposed to put the groceries? where do you dare park it? ever see what a really good pot hole does to a low-rider like that?

trucks rule (period)

I believe the Mclaren F1 is supposed to be able to get up to 235. It is supposed to be the fastest street legal car in teh world.
