Macca Stats
A bit geeky, but couldn't help comparing the Senna acceleration times in this weeks recent Autocar against the old F1.
So to 100mph the Senna is 0.9sec quicker, to 150mph the Senna is 2.0sec quicker, to 180mph the Senna is just 0.5 sec quicker. Standing kilometre it's only 0.8 seconds quicker.
So off the line the Senna is faster (helped by stickier tyres and quicker box) but over 100mph there's nothing in it.
A quarter of a century older yet still mightily impressive

Re: Macca Stats
It doesn't look right, how can the F1 pull back 1.5 sec between 150-180 ?
Re: Macca Stats
Reminds me of this:
Toasted a bug all the way up to far side of 150mph.

Re: Macca Stats
I really really dislike the senna, it looks awful, regardless of budget I wouldn't have one.
Re: Macca Stats
Very much that.
I currently have a 720S in my head as a "lottery win fun car", despite the fact I am only warm on the looks and it isn't manuel. The stats just grab me.....
Re: Macca Stats
720 doesn’t do much for me either, the P1 and 675 LT do though!
Re: Macca Stats
Yep same here, the 720 is a monster but doesn't grab me down there. And I can't stand the Senna.
Opinions that McLaren need not worry about too much

Re: Macca Stats
The 750 LT will obviously be awesumz

Re: Macca Stats
Mate’s picking up his 570S next Tuesday. There’s a McLaren dealership in the village, so have driven a couple helping him choose. (Yes, I am a GREAT mate!)
All McLarens need close inspection to see their exquisite and intricate genius. I’d have a 720S tomorrow.
Oh, saw this drive through Ascot earlier this week. Far worse looking imho.
As it is John Collins, owner of Talacrest, and he also picked up his LaFerrari prototype this month, I imagine his eyes a quite dry.

Re: Macca Stats
Saw a 570S spider locally the other week and thought it looked great TBH. I'd have one over 488.
Re: Macca Stats
I like what Mclaren is doing and love the LTs, but Ferrari > Mclaren so 458 speciale / Italia for me thank you please.

Re: Macca Stats
If I owned Talacrest, I could look like the Elephant Man and not GAF. Google them
Re: Macca Stats
I remember nipping there when working at heathrow, not far from the main Ferrari maranello place at Egham.
Both of which seemed surprisingly helpful considering I wasn’t in a position to buy and was just having a look st the time, F40 was about 150/200k iirc (talking 2001/2002)

Re: Macca Stats
That's the only McLaren I want.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on
