I don't even know why McLaren even tries anymore because they can never match this master piece:

I see you've been a member here since January, but please tell me it didn't take you the whole 10 months to come up with that zinger for your first post.

I've loved McLaren since the F1(I think most people have) and I lurk around other cars forums. That video has been the talk in many other forums and I didn't want you guys to miss out.

does the guy know what he's talking about? Looks like he tries to remember his text...
And who puts an (way too small) intercooler right between the exhaust pipes?


Useless quoting is so annoying...

Oh, my apologies, then. Yes, I agree, McLaren should throw in the towel. Now that somebody has riced a Murcielago, the game has definitely been won!

I'm sure you have noticed.......over 100 web articles on the P1 and unlike the 12C not ONE negative article on looks with only the 3 pix available .........not even in the UK
Frank has hit this one outta the park........I still keep looking at the images! Can't wait till thurs for more releases!

If you guys watch the video it's hilarious. Guy claimed to have twin turbo charged a Murcielago to 2000whp(yes, wheel hp) but can't start the car and has no dyno. Claims that his company is testing heat shielding material for NASA.

PS: I love the P1, I think it's awesome especially the active rear wing that raise out of the back(it's totally flush when not active). Can't wait to see the video.

I think his comment is referring to Venom videos, not P1 videos.

My car cost US850,000 including options+COE. I am sure this will make you sick. Most owners of exotics don't keep their car for more than 2 years. On the 5th year, most cars depreciate by half. We have couple of F1 but they are not registered. Just kept at the dealership.

I know Racing Green doesn't suit everyone's tastes but I think the 12C looks excellent in that color. I'd love to see some brave individual get a P1 in the same color and so I made this attempt at replicating it.
