How does it work in a ski area parking lot?

put a big enough engine on it and you can make anything fly ...

Competitions were an important thing in advancing the automobile technologies over 100 years. But by this point Im not sure that they arent now ‘splitting hair’s.


1000HP yes I can use that in highway rush hour traffic ...

Not like the commercials showing these vehicle cruising up the coast or out in the country, without any traffic or another car in sight. Reality burns ya see these expensive vehicles with their high performance engines choking in bumper to bumper traffic, day after day after day...☺

Yeah... very vanilla. Nothing in the line up to get excited about.

Compare to a halo car like the Dodge Hellcat, or a production 5.0 GT Mustang, or a V-series Cadillac...

And seriously, Honda’s alleged truck - points for creativity and re-thinking, but... No.

You can find the Bugatti trying to catch the Koenigsegg Agera R. Christian Koenigsegg and his team are probably the best automotive engineers on the planet.

Aesthetically, I'd take the Chiron in a heartbeat.

It also offers a MUCH higher level of luxury, comfort & refinement which separates it from other high-performance cars.

Specs aren't too shabby, either:
1500 HP
1600 Torque
310 MPH (with appropriate tires)

"In LA, with that ground clearance, it would sustain 100k worth of damage in 1 day."

Yeah, one speed bump and that whole front end is trashed.

Front end of that VDub looks like it was inspired by the Edsel ‘toilet seat’

Toyota = excitement factor of a warm glass of milk.

All that boring reliability, economy, and smooth riding of my Toyota Corolla was the perfect compliment to my plenty exciting and heart stirring Ducati 900SS/SP!

The Bugatti “Horseshoe”...for the knowledgeable.

The “W16” with quad-turbos is an amazing piece of engineering! 16 cylinders in barely greater length than a V-8!

But a "Ma-Deuce" .50BMG mounted on the roof is far more useful!

It probably goes from 0-60 in about 3.2 seconds.

It should be faster than that. Here's a 1000-HP Jeep that does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.

A Tesla will do that in the “Insane” mode.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is your opinion?
In the world of engineering McLaren is every bit the equal of those two.
