but erm...1st of all i dont agree, 2nd of all i bet theres much more characterless robots that are born in windtunnels without passion either...if hte F1 is a robot then whats the Enzo? if the F1 was born in the wind tunnel than whats the Enzo? if hte F1 is cold and characterless than whats the enzo with its paddle shifts and TC etc etc? soul is rather hard to measure, but im sure the enzo isnt the epitome of soul and passion either
dont get me wrong i like the enzo VERY VERY much but it seems to me that in these things it beats the F1, while it doesnt at speed, luxury, practicality etc etc

I disagree, i think the mclaren has plenty of soul built and designed passionately by people who have a passion for high performance cars.

erm well i know that ferraris are mostly passionate cars, but i really dont see the passion shining through very much in hte enzo, and u have to admit that if anything's a robot its the enzo. BTW the koenigsegg has an originally Ford engine, it seems to me that theres a bit more passion involved in BMW than in Ford. the Zonda has a MB engine, not the most passionate of brands either, still a very passionate car
the Zonda has a MB engine, not the most passionate of brands either, still a very passionate car
The Zonda is passionate, because of the story of Horacio Pagani. He started at Lamborghini, but wanted to build his own car... this dream was realised in the creation of the Zonda.
For somebody to be working in a factory to be inspired to create something better than they are producing is truly passionate :D

I don't see why exactly Ferrari is more pasionate than McLaren. The F1 might have a Mercedes engine, the 348 f.e. uses parts of Fiats. So much for that point.
If there is one car that is built as being the best supercar ever, it's the F1. Passionate is relative,and very subjective.

erm im not a really big fan of the SLR either (ok i dont like it its not a proper supercar IMO), but i dont see the funny part of the McLaren F1 team, drivers champs in '98 and '99, and last year 2nd place to schumi isnt exactly something to be ashamed of is it? its better than all teams except ferrari over the last 4 years
Interesting how you dont seem to mention much about the current year though. Thats what I find so amusing.
Why dont they try a BMW engine in their F1 cars as well...they might actually finish a few races then.

whats really funny to me is the roumors that indicate fustration within mclaren for switching away from bmw... ah well, they always were whoring themselves out :lol:

Did they ever disclose just how much the Macca F1 road car program cost?
Perhaps all that was left to do after they drained themselves was whore out for Formula 1 and other car makers :)

And trail Ferrari with 37 points to 184 - and I suspect will be beaten yet again in a few hours...YAY !!!
@ RC45 : Mclaren have admitted themselves that it was a financial flop hence why they are leaving building supercars to the experts nowadays (not quite sure what the SLR is meant to be...excpet that its even worse than the F1) and concentrating on F1...where of course they are being anhialated by Ferrari. YAY !!! :D

I don't see why exactly Ferrari is more pasionate than McLaren. The F1 might have a Mercedes engine, the 348 f.e. uses parts of Fiats. So much for that point.
I dont remember many Ferrari's being fitted with Fiat engines and a few electrical switches from its parent company is hardly the same thing I am afraid.

LOL, I hope you ever looked in the interior of a 348 ? If passion means shitty finish, with Fiat handles and stuff to boot, I don't want to have it.
LOL, the McLaren F1 was a bigger achievement ten years ago then the Enzo is now. Look at how well the F1 has held value, while the F40, and other sportscars of that erea even more, dropped in value like it was a wall street crash.
Another LOL@dissing the fact McLaren lost money on to the project.
Fiat had to buy Ferrari because the financial situation was a chaos. And now the Fiat concern is doing bad as well.
Ignorance is bliss.

The F1 is a true supercar - uncompromising design using state-of-the-art materials and technology for the sole purpose of ultimate performance - the supercar for true connoisseur. The Bmw engine was especially developed and built for this car. I don't see how that makes it lack "passion".

Probably as I used to own two of them. Strangely the quality of the switches used in a Ferrari or any car for that matter has never really been a priority to me. There is so much more to a car than the type of switches used.

I was looking at an F40 only last year for £195,000 that was for sale the year before for £160,000...as you say.... Ignorance is bliss.
