    The thing with the McLaren F1 is that BMW V12 and it's normally aspirated rawness. I could tell this was forced induction first time I heard the sound. I would have gone for a lower power figure and put full "bolt ons" for that V12 and kept it NA.
    Awesome, though.

      I agree. I had to stop watching. Steering wheel is sketchy. That isn't the tires, its the steering linkage and steering wheel and or hub. I'm sure is representative of the entire whole build, good to look at, but thats all. Good for driver to be respectful.
