$100 says not a chance.

You saying this car i sgoing to be a 255mph, 0-62mph in 2s, 9s 1/4 mile 1.2G grip inducing car off the show room floor?

This car is a pathetic attempt by McLaren to rekindle the long lost glory days - too little car, too late tothe market.

Yeah, what ever, and I cannot understand all this talk of g force, it depends on too many vaiables to really describe a car's handling. How wide is the circle? How fast. It's about changing direction as well as holding a line.

And I'll bet you 100 sterlings

McLaren's never had world leading handling (street cars). Not in the F1, not in the SLR's. Not even close.
