...and it weighs about the same as a CockerSpaniel.

seriously 359 hp strapped to a cocker Spainel is a whole new level of nimble and rediculously fast.

All "crossovers" are fugly.

I'll also take one of these:

So much power it's measured in pounds of thrust.

No it's not. Both the Vector and McLaren F1 kick it's ass performance wise, and niether are half as fugly.

theres only 1 Vector in the world, and McLarens are impossible to come by. you cant beat the handling of the Enzo Ferrari, McLaren or not. besides, McLarens were only made in 1997, theyre outdated and extinct.

are you forgetting?

ITS FERRARI

they lead the world in automotive performance on and off the track. theyre not some small pisshand aeromotive company who decided to make a concept that doesnt even exist anymore.

When you say "performance", what do you mean?

Acceleration speed? (IE - 0-60 times)
Top speed?
Handling?
Overall balance of acceleration/speed/handling?

Either way, It depends on the driver as well, someone in a Lancia Delta HF Intergrale could easily thrash a Ferrari F40 in the right settings if he is a competant and skilled driver.

Either way, I hate the new Ferraris, The nicest Classic Ferrari has to be the Dino and the F40 is the nicest modern one.

Next time I go up to London, I shall take a visit to the McLaren dealer in Park Lane and take some photographs for you.
