Well Nth... If you dont like the F1 for anything else. You should like it for its engineering exellence.

Remember it was made AGES ago - with regards to available technology.

It manages to balance incredible acceleration with an awsome top speed......which isnt alway the case depending on if ppl know they are doing with the engine and gear ratios. Even more impressive when the only livable production cars that compete with it in these catagories today have at least about 200 more hp.

It can actually go the speed without flying off the road - showing great aero dynamic technology (seems better than the Kon CCX at least)

The damn car can hold 3 ppl for goodness sakes via its genius use of a center driving position.......I mean how many other supercars of this level can do that.

IMO opinion, from a mechanical/automotive engineering standpoint the only other car to compete with it is the Veyron. To get that much reliable, livable power, disipate that much heat, and create a dynamic transmission that can withstand those stresses, yet be as smooth as anything on the road.............Is simply incredible.

Fine......if you think it handles bad........You have your agrument and thats your opinion.

But there is no reason not to like what is possibly one of the greatest automotive/engineering achievements we will see in our lifetime.
