Did you know there are at least two other cars that are faster than McLaren F1?

[iLikeMyDamnPrimera]

right?

the Koenigsegg, CC8S and CCR models are faster than F1.

and the good'ol all mighty prestigious Bugatti EB16-4 veyron whoops Koenigsegg..

Not that it matters, but the Koenigsegg's top speed has never been officially tested, and the Veyron is too unstable at those speeds and is going to be sold with a top speed limited to around 220mph.

I guess you are young boy. but i would tell you something. I love also Koenigsegg but prefer Mclaren F1 to it. Sadly you guy missed one point. if you had knew that previously, you woundn't have told it. That's is Koenigsegg is still not permitted from Europe EPA regulation. That means Koenigsegg still have some shortage as production car. Needless to say, Veyron EB16-4 also much.

There are plenty of cars faster than the F1, although the F1 still delicately holds the "fastest production car," not to be confused with the pointless "fastest road legal car" or equally pointles "fastest supercar" titles.

Top speed is of little consequence if you own one of these things. Once you get past around 220mph, you're basically in an elite set of vehicles. There are only a few appropriate, and accessible locations around the world where you could actually bring these vehicles to their top speeds.

Having one car that's x mph faster, when you're already going ridiculously fast, doesn't mean much. If the koeningsegg or bugatti set an official record, it shouldn't be looked upon as diminishing the reputation of the F1, rather it should be looked at as it took almost a decade (and two Ferrari supercar models) before any McLaren rivals appeared.

good point.

I see you got the concept going. Very good. I agree with it.

once gain, good point. I see you got the concept going. I agree with it. (hehehe)

and again, good point.


There's "a little" more to it than just "top speed record" you were pointing about. The acceleration rate is also important. Because of these(cars like the Bugatti eb16-4) cars have so much power and higher top speed, the acceleration rate is much better from 0-to-180mph(example). You can get to 100mph/120mph quicker with these cars. I'm using these speeds because it's more "feasible", or "reasonable" in some state road/interstates. With good driving skills and gearing coordinations, you can get more out of these cars than less powered car, McLaren F1 for example. I know.... I know... the mclaren has great handling, the car is quite lighter too. Gotta take that into considerations, i admit....

So to sum this up, I was merely asking for "record" top speeds, kinda speaking. The other part; feasibility at high speeds and handling is also very very important. That's another subject.

when the Lambo Diablo came out, I was like "woahhhhhh", and then when the F50 came out, i said fuc.k Diablo.... F50 woahhhhhh... and then when the Mclaren F1 came out and start gaining popularity, i fell in love to it. I said fuc.k F50 LOLOLOLOL. i was the one who wrote article about the F1 several years ago.. back in 1994. I loved reading my own article. I was touched by it. I still think McLaren F1 is awesome car and is a top class car.

Koenigsegg is very new to me. I haven't got the "love thing" going yet. Talk about car sex baby! mmm~~

[mini magic]

umm. the mclaren came out before the F50.

Nope, I'm not kidding. The Veyron's top speed is going to be limited to around 220mph. Maybe someone else can back me up on this.

I said when the mclaren came out and "started" gaining "popularity".

you need to read carefully before picking on exact years.

the mclaren cars took some time(years) to get known. Almost nobody jumped up and dancing around 1 day after the mclaren cars were released.

as for the limiter, who knows maybe it varies, depending on the manufacturer or whoever sells those cars may change the limiter to 215 tops.. or 217 tops.. or 225 tops... or 230.. and so and so and on.. heheheheheh

[jcsaleen]

Believe it or not the f50 was created in 1987 then developed over and released alot later. Thats sad in opinion. The pangani zonda only took 2 years to make thats amazining.

[iLikeMyDamnPrimera]

I say f#@k that limiter and rip em out. There. You got a faster car. :LOL:
