<< How dare you put Ferarri's above the McLaren!!! >>


I do believe that your opinion has no bearing on what I think or like 😀😀

The McLaren can not be driven sensibly on the road. In the summer time you will roast. Hell, even in the winter time you will roast in the car. The A/C is non-existent.

Do a search on this BBS or in yahoo for a link that I posted about the F1 that appeared in Car and Driver. They talk about the heat issues among other things.
 
I want a Mickey Mantle rookie card!

Better change your quote NFS4 before you look as stupid as I did 😀.

I'd really like to have a black BMW M3.
 
Here's the article I was talking about concerning heat within the McLaren F1. And it was from R&amp;T, not C&amp;D:

<< Also, the F1's air conditioning proved to be completely inadequate under the hot Arizona sun -- or moon, for that matter. Fan volume, set on 4 -- its highest notch -- feels like a setting of 1 on any typical econobox, and the air coming out of the vents, even in the recirculate
mode, feels more like warm dog breath than super-cooled air. Also, the vents are aimed downward from the bottom of the dash, so no air hits the driver's upper body. It was a very sweaty three days, and we ultimately had to drive with the a/c off to keep the car from overheating. We kept the small side windows rolled down, trying to get enough air. The car was an oven.

Even the right door release and a/c console on the armrest became too hot to touch, as the hoses for the two front radiators run beneath them. The thermostatically controlled electric fans for the radiators run long after the car has been shut off, and so does an engine compartment fan that cools the catalytic converter and exhaust plumbing.

We called the owner in Texas, and he agreed the heat was a problem. &quot;My wife and I had to pack the seats and side-panels with towels and blankets to insulate ourselves from chassis heat when we drove it home from Boston,&quot; he said. He added that he normally parks it in a cool place and takes relatively short trips. >>

 
Bentley Turbo R Sport, 1996, #BRX57829. A satellite navigation system installed on board this sports car was standard.

I'm sorry, but that is NOT a sports car. How much does it weigh? 2.5 tons?

It could out accelerate a Porsche from 40-60 among other things. That is a car that could be enjoyed daily. Most of the cars you're drooling over would probably get stuck going over the first railroad crossing or deep pot hole you came to!
