Velocity: Supercar Revolution book

[Peloton25]

Just read through all the text in the section on McLaren - nicely done. I only take issue with the 231 mph quoted top speed. I understand that's accurate for an unaltered road car, but I think the text should have made some mention of XP5's 240.1 mph run at the Ehra Lessien track in 1998.

I also wish that the photo of the road car and the LM side-by-side wasn't cut off at the top and that the interior shot of what is probably #074 was larger so we could actually read the chassis number. Oh well...

BTW: The side bar on Jay Leno was cool - he mentions that $1,500 wiper blade again.

It is definitely a book for supercar afficianados. Leno's sidebar is very funny on certain cars.

I think I read that Sportscar article at the newstand way back then.. who knew?!?!
