The original F1 is unbeatable! (I knew that)

MP4-12C
0-60mph = 3.3s (F1 = 3.2s)

MP4-12C
0-170mph = 23.3s (F1 = 17.2s!!)

not a suprise: F1 was a incredibly small supercar, with so low CxS

And very low weight (1138kg)

yes yes yes
modern supercars have DTC/F1 gearboxes and launch control, buthe old supercar (F1, but F40 too) are very hard to beat from 100-250 cause lowest CxS and very low weights.

The McLaren MP4-12C is turning out to be the most disappointing car of 2011 so far.

^ This is so true. I had very high hopes an expectations. It is really a pity because I really like the design. Now, also liking the design of the new Lotus Esprit, I hope this car will not disapoint. Lotus claims it to be the benchmark, thus better than MP4-12C and 458 Italia.
