Skid pads can be taken lightly.. but still taken. Rarely are you going slow enough on a full course for the skid pad numbers to be taken into account.
And a comment about the McL nomenclature.. the F-1 was their only car, so I don't know if they named it F-1 to imply that it was a track car, or just because it was so damn fast.
It's still one of my favorite cars because of some of the unique engineering in it (BMW V12 among them). Just not my first pick for curves.
Anyone have good videos of an F1 in action? I'd like to see more than I have on library.

For a realistic choice, I'm thinking 911 Turbo.........AWD, 450 horse, and not too crazy on price......I'll take a yellow one, thank you very much........And for the guy who liked the Exige.......Saw two in Wisconsin last year at a Lotus convention.....thing smoked a Cobra R on the track.....or was that an Elise?

I remember reading several reviews that said something to the effect of "Excellent on the straights, not as hot on the curves."
Other than those.. the McL was made for top speed (low CD, and other ways to minimize surface sheer stress) and straight line accel (AWD), while the Enzo was made to run at the tracks. I'd be willing to bet there are some big suspension differences too, that enable the Enzo to be much more agile.
I wish I had a site to reference for these thoughts.
