the F1 LM hands down.
McLaren all the way!
I'd take the F1 LM.
The Mac, no contest for me here.
Interestingly, at the time the Mac went on sale I think it cost just more than 550 000 pounds. Today, a 2nd-hand one which was driven on a daily basis could easily fetch 1 000 000 pounds!
So not only is it a great car, it's an investment. Who could argue with such a great deal? Then again, who is in a position to be able to argue with such a great deal?
finally the thread of the clash of the titans but I'd still go for the MCLAREN

Hard to pick one but I gotta go with the new Speed record holder on this one! Plus the Bugatti has the wide look to it just sexy :D
The McLaren just because the Veyron is a Volkwagen product. And because the McLaren looks like a million times better.
McLaren F1(not the LM) ... Hands Down. 240mph, and sells for $1.1mil 12 years ago, and now sells for $1.6 or better. And just think, with the new BMW 7spd tranmissions, maybe 250+ wouldn't be impossible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B.V. 16.4: 1001hp, 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds, 406 km/h top speed, $1 700 000. M. F1 LM: 680hp, 0-60mph in 3 seconds, top speed 362 km/h, $1 307 000. I'd take the F1 just for the race car looks. (who needs 1001hp or will actually use 1001hp without being pulled over by cops?)[/QUOTE]
Nissan Micra would suit me down to the Earth:D

"Who needs 680hp without being pulled over by cops?" :D
When HP passes a certain limit that question becomes universal i think :)
I'd take the Veyron. The Mclaren was the king of the road for many years. It had some staggering numbers, but the Veyron has allot of the new technological advancements which I like, satellite navigation in the rear view mirror, bi-xenon headlights, and a key that lowers the ride height as well as lowers the rear (hydraulic) wing. You may ask why a person needs these things in a "super" sports car, I'd say it's because its cool. Why not have it all, fastest, quickest accelerating, most luxurious, and most technologically advanced car on the road.
I'd choose the Mac F1 any day. An enthusiast's dream machine. The Veyron is more of a compromise in my opinion, despite it's staggering performance figures. I'd also take an F-16 over a Concorde, even if the Concorde might be a little bit faster, if you know what I mean.
Buying the F1 also leaves me with about $400 000 more to spend on other cars. Just enough to buy a 409 kmh Chevrolet Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette, isn't it?

Yep, beyond 60 bhp.
Does that mean my car (55hp 95k ago) is the best car ever?
Evo compared the Bugatti to the F1, Enzo (with Tubi Style exhaust), Veyron and Zonda
*SPOILER*
Everybody liked the way it performed, it was in another level of performance compared to the other cars but it lacked charisma and didn't feel as special as the other cars.
The F1 is a much more pure driving experience. The Veyron is point-and-skirt and unchallenging. If I'm paying that much for a car, I want one that is gonna make me enjoy wetting my pants. The Veyron is not a car that is capable of doing that.
