I was there on Sunday of the same weekend with a few other RX-7 owners. Good show. I was a little disappointed that there weren't any new hybrids, nor any pure EVs. Just a few fool-cell vehicles.

Boo hoo, I llike Mclaren don't tease my Mclaren. Only 100 were made so it'll be great to see one or even be in one. I've liked it since "Need for speed II" came out.

I'm just not that excited about it. Sure, it's an amazing piece of machinery, but I think a car that costs $1,000,000+ should be at least drivable. Also, it's fairly ugly.
I remember seeing a show a while back which featured a McLaren owner. He was listing all the stuff he did to the car so that he could actually drive it. Cooling mods, adding A/C, adding a stereo, etc. The cooling mods struck me as odd, so I asked a friend about it. Apparently, the car overheats at low speeds due to the ducting used.
Honestly, it's a race car with a bit of an interior, so you can't complain that much regarding these issues. But if you build a car with no compromises in speed and handling, it's not going to be a very good car except for that purpose. Meaning that taking it out on the road more then a few times a month is not going to be something you do...

Yeah well whatever you say Aaron I still like it.
What amazes is that it can get to 391Km/h that is by far the fastest road car i've heard of. It even has a Black Box. I think it's ileagle to drive it in Australia; don't know where I got that from.
