As stated before IMO...its a cold characterless robot born in a wind tunnel with as much passion and soul as a lump of shit.

Funny enough -this apparent "clinical" design is why the Koenniggsegg's do nothing for me at all - almost like an item in the IKEA catalogue..

but erm...1st of all i dont agree, 2nd of all i bet theres much more characterless robots that are born in windtunnels without passion either...if hte F1 is a robot then whats the Enzo? if the F1 was born in the wind tunnel than whats the Enzo? if hte F1 is cold and characterless than whats the enzo with its paddle shifts and TC etc etc? soul is rather hard to measure, but im sure the enzo isnt the epitome of soul and passion either
dont get me wrong i like the enzo VERY VERY much but it seems to me that in these things it beats the F1, while it doesnt at speed, luxury, practicality etc etc

lol, the McLaren F1 not handling well?? what have u been smoking eh?
I disagree, i think the mclaren has plenty of soul built and designed passionately by people who have a passion for high performance cars.
1. Most american cars
2. The amount of tourists in cambridge
3. Not having enough money
4. People who can't hold an arguement without using insults or violence
5. People who think they're better than everyone else, espcially when they're actually not

erm ur missing my point i LOVE the F1, all im saying is it doesnt handle as well as some other sports cars, for instance the F1 can handle lateral Gs of 0.86, the F50 was tested at 0.96, the CGT at 1.35 i believe (i dont see the Enzo getting 1.35 BTW)

The mclaren is not a track car. It would be handed its ass by a f40 or f50 on a race track.

If there were pictures in a dictionary then there would be a picture of a Ferrari next to the word passion. NO other car manufacturer even comes comes close on the subject of passion I am afraid.

What did tiff say about it when he first tested it? That the f1 was not the handling choice, but definitly a great supercar and more practical then others.
I don't remember brundels comments.. Id have to dig that one up.. Care to remind me.
