    McLaren F1 vs Ferrari F40 vs Porsche 959 'sport'

    I was thinking about which of these will win a race around :
    1. the 'ring
    2. Laguna Seca
    3. Monaco GP track
    Kindly think about it and post.

    NOTE : Pls DO NOT say that "this will win 'cause i like it"
    Use your HEAD and not your heart.
    NO BIASed comments please.

    The F1 can't be compared with others, as it belongs to a totally different generation of cars. It would be immensely faster!

    I totally agree with McReis. At Monaco the other two may catch a slight whiff of exhaust-fumes, but that's it.

    the nubürgring : Mclaren F1 or F40
    Laguna Seca : McLaren F1
    Monaco GP Track : F40

    ...but if it is raining during one of these races, the 959 wins.

    959. Proabably a better handling car than the others. I've heard the F1 is to heavy and twitchy.

    Mclaren F1, not even a chance with the others. The F1 gets them both in top speed, acceleration and breaking. Thats more then enough for the F1 to win.
    Top 10:
    1) Mclaren F1
    2) Dodge Viper
    3) BMW M5
    4) Ferrari F430
    5) Ferrari Enzo
    6) Corvette Z06
    7) Lamborghini Gallardo
    8) 1967 AC Cobra 427
    9) 1971 Hemi Cuda
    10) Mercedes SL55 AMG

    what are you smoking?

    F1- 2513.3 lbs
    F40- 2425.1 lbs
    959- 4056 lbs

    the F1 would no doubt outperform those 2

    probably not, in a straight line yes, there is really no competition but on a road course it would be very close. the mclaren wasant made to be the beat all performance car, it was made to be the ultimate drivers car. the suspension is softer than that of the F40 and has more body roll. the rear end is twitchy but what would one expect from a car smaller than a porsche boxster with 600+horsepower.
