I thought McLaren F1 can achieve 240 mph. Although 388 kmph is about 241 mph.

Cool. I guess that's free publicity for Ford too.

Now THAT'S what I need to for getting to work in the morning!!

Gordon Murray (head designer of the F1) always predicted that cars would come along and eclipse the F1 in one test or another, but said the real challenge would be for a car offer a better overall package. I think he's right, and we're still waiting for that car. (and it sure as hell isn't the SLR)

I love the F1, but the CCR's a good car for the price. But the F1 is still an amazing car, even after all these years.

Martin Brundle's Supercars DVD has both these cars on it, plus I think 8 others. It's a good DVD.
