2 things I noticed.

Noble - WOW...doing it the old fashioned way, and being able to catch up with no launch control. Very impressive.

At 3:42, when all the cars give a rev before the launch...man does the Turbo S have a terrible exhaust tone.

I thought exactly the same regarding the exhaust note compared to the others.

Slow911tt68tip, not fair comparing stock with modified. Just wait until the aftermarket gets a hold of the McLaren with it's twin turbo V8...

I know....its a never ending battle. I will have my GT2 delivered in the next few weeks....I have had many HiPo cars but this beats um all at ~1000 WHP and more TQ that that. It's a disease! Then I read two other cars (I think GT2's) are being built with more HP .

I almost purchased a McLaren (was one of the 1st on the list) but decided against it after speaking with them about upgrades. They have made it VERY difficult but where there's a will there's a way.

I am waiting on the soon to be (hopefully) Porsche "458" killer. I understand it will be in the neighborhood of an 8 Cyl. 5 Ltr engine with TT's. That has a bit of potential.

Oh well - it's all in fun.

My thoughts exactly.

Like I said..if there's a will there's a way (just add $$$ and stir) . I have to tell you though....the MP412C just didnt do it for me. I went to the Festival of Speed in Orlando and looked at the car, again, and yet again. It just didnt turn me on. No doubt it is very capable but no one knew back then. I was also concerned about reliability. Maybe in the future. I understand they will be or are currently designing a much faster car (and a lesser car) hitting the mkt in a few years.

The new Lotus Espirit with that 4.8L turbo motor could possibly best them all.
