2 faults in that! 1: They are not supercars but hypercars and 2: The Veyron isn't the king! :prr:

My opinion: It's not a very forgiving car, you have to know exactly what you're doing, especially with 627 bhp right under your right foot. But to say that it handles like shit, is exactly that: bullshit. |
The latest Evo pits the F1 against the 9 other cars including the Veyron,
GT3, Enzo, CGT, NSX-R. the author mentions how he thought the F1 was overrated. Then he got to drive it for the first time. He brings up some valid faults but leaves an F1 fan! |
Yeah, it may be overrated, but that still means it's monstrously good!
This is also a funny vid (listen to the comment of the owner):

An Enzo with Tubi may well sound better from the outside, but IMO there are very few cars that sound better from the inside than a McLaren F1. That's mostly due to the ferociously throaty induction bark from the 12 individual throttle bodies. Although the Enzo has ITB's too, it sounds a lot less throaty than the F1... Man, I love that sound!

LMAO
The car has what Flemke calls a sports exhaust (not stock of course) and he reckons that the car has around 680hp.

:roll:
I was talking about Flemke`s car , it has bigger wheels than a stock model plus the exhaust, read the EVO article.
That car is by no means stock.

No shit... I never said it was. I was just saying the LM has 680 bhp too, nothing more.

Suspension too soft? But when Clarkson drives the C6 Z06 it breaks his back? Come on, you can't have it all.
