Almost ZR-1 :-)

The McLaren is no doubt a great car but in the area of weight it doesn't mean much at that level. Case in point the Bugatti Veyron will out run that car at a hefty 4200 lbs. No matter a drag race or f1 it's all about getting it to and keeping it on terra firma. I'd prefer a well-balanced car any day. It’s also interesting that the f1 narrowly edged out the infamous lingenfelter 415 car in 1998 fastest street car road and track article. Fast forward to the mp4-12c (heavy 3100lbs v-8) more technology and better handling. Of course I will exclude the c5 thru c7 platforms which seem to think putting extra weight on live axles is balance with the heft being the driver.

The Bugatti has over 1000hp and that's a huge advantage. Give the F1 1000hp instead of 620 and let's see who wins.
