Street cars vs. F1 car

that is absolutely amazing..I wanna drive a f1 car..lol

This year (2010) was the first year without an extensively modded safety car for F1... It was an AMG SLS being driven fully balls out (screeching tires, WOT, etc) by an ex DTM driver. Driving the SLS balls out was still so slow, that the F1 cars could barely keep heat in their tires and brakes. That's just damn impressive, IMO. Take a supercar flat out versus an F1 car, and it's like trying to compare a golf cart with a VR4.

Plus, the engine note of the SLS bellowed over the howls of the F1 cars. I get all tingly just thinking about it :D

I would love to drive an F1 on the road.

Bah, put a decent sportscar up against it to see how much better they fare. Corvette Z06, Viper, Ferrari, etc. That would have been more interesting to see IMO.

Did you see the medical safety wagon romping around Korea during the rain? Sounds just as bad ass as the safety car and was also being pushed hard by a pro. Normally Benz wagon ain't my cup of tea, but sounding like that I may have to reconsider:)

I guess you didn't read past the first post.

no road car can touch the performance that F1 car offers but there are few race cars that I think could do it.
