boyko23 has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Which is this manifacturer, which goes to the Ring for "final suspension adjustments", declares that the time will not be announced AND TAPES ALL THE GAPS???
I am tired of this BS...

At least for now, and with the new claim by McLaren that the 'Ring is too dangerous:

Why doesn't McLaren just let a reputable 3rd party (EVO, Sport Auto, Motor Trend, etc.) test a 'customer spec' P1 at the racetrack of thier choice? Pick a racetrack. Any racetrack. How does it compare with "lesser" cars?

I also love the people who have convinced themselves that just because McLaren aren't yet willing to spell out their exact time this is somehow unequivocal proof that it was slower than the 918.

Funny thing is Porsche will be back in the spring and set a quicker time than their OFFICIAL production record before the first car ever leaves the production line.
Porsche actually ends up with the BEST drivers car be it on a TRACK or road :0P

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Supersport - 14.60s
Konigsegg Agera R - 14.53s
Venom GT - 13.48s


"whats gone before today and what come after(faster)"
this one is impossible.

"noone's gonna get near the performance of this vehicle"
on paper LaF is pretty close if not better.

Your such a Troll, instead of writing something positive in any other section, all you do is come on the McLaren section and write garbage, you're 997 handle is a disgrace to anybody who owns Porsches. Guaranteed the closest you will ever come to owning any exotic car will be by Mattel.

The P1 is faster than the 918 Spyder, otherwise they will not make such a great video. Can't wait what LaFerrari can do.

Look around you schmuck I'm not the only one. Like another member so eloquently stated
'PUT UP OR SHUT UP'
McLaren brought all this negativity on themselves.......with ALL the hype, first with the 12C (took version 2.0 to finally compete with the 458) and now with it's halo car the P1. Pathetic really from a RACING COMPANY!
