i'd take the sledgehammer. it's $600K cheaper than the mclaren and similar in performance. 0-60 is under 4 seconds and the 1/4 is 10.5 or so.

sledgehammer! just listen to the name SLEDGEHAMMER.

Well, I believe the Sledgehammer does hold the record for fastest street legal car (not bad considering a car from 88' still holds that record). Then again the McLaren is just so sweet. Bah, I can't decide...

McLaren. MCLAREN! Formula One! The most extensively developed, no expense-spared road car ever produced. The ultimate road car with the ultimate engine. There's only one winner here.

So many people have a hard time believing that the fastest street legal car in the world isnt American...

The McLaren is perfect. Its been over 10 years since its been out and still nothing beats it. BMW natural aspiration rules. And the McLaren can handle...

Mclaren! I luv it I luv it I luv it! For the same reasons as Dinan's.
Its the shiznit.

i say mclaren F1, it was designed to be a roadcar, think about how good it would be if they made it even more race bred n faster than it already is, i think it would beat the crap outta everything out there

Screw the name, you just cant beat the Mclaren, unless your name is Koenigsegg

Well let's see.....

You could have a car from the company that for years has put out very fine F1 cars (Just not as good as Ferrari ones) and before that built amazing Can-Am cars. With it you get handling that is said to be the greatest yet, a 240 mph top speed, a gold plated engine bay (

) and Carbon-fibre construction. Combine this with practicality and what more could you want???

The 'Vette doesn't even have half of these benefits

crayzayjay · #12 04-27-2004, 04:21 AM

Sure Jimmy, but it's not called 'Sledgehammer'. I mean, how cool is that.....

imagunn · #13 04-27-2004, 09:48 AM

my self i would take the corvette it is still faster than the mclaren and as said it is a lot cheaper. for the money the corvette would be better

yeah but i could get 2 of them and still have a couple hundred grand to throw around. you're paying 1 million dollars for the name mostly IMO.

The Mclarens top speed is 240mph? And isn't the Enzo the world's fastest car now?
