Ultimate Rides NSX TOP 10 beating GTR

Is the Porsche 956-962 even street legal? I know the Mclaren is. All the vehicles listed are street legal.

Exactly only a few street legal Mclarens are available and a few 962 dauer's. Only 107 cars were manufactured, 65 of those were street versions (F1), 5 were LMs, 3 were longtail roadcars (GT), 5 prototypes (XP), 28 racecars (GTR), and 1 LM prototype (XP LM).

For the same price the dauer has higher top speed and faster acceleration and weights close to the same. I believe there are 13 street legal though 50 are available for purchase from Dauer $870K.

But the Mclaren is definately a lot easier on the eyes and I bet more practical. The Mclaren is a better balance I believe whereas the Dauer is just pure performance over design/human factor. This is why the Mclaren has the clout it does. I mean the 962 looks pretty exotic in terms of everyday cars, but's it also generic and uninteresting. Performance is major, but not the sole factor, otherwise everyone would be driving EVOs and Stis. It's like the fat or ugly chick that's really good in the sack. No offense towards not so attractive ladies, lol.

Looks are subjective, but neither car is practicle. I am not sure what you mean by better balanced after all the Dauer yeilds a higher power to weight ratio(2427lbs) and performs better in all catagories. IMO nothing ever will top it and since its a Porsche I doubt anyone could produce anything better other than Porsche themselves. The Mclaren after all is powered by BMW. In Mr. Murrays owner words "Firstly, our records are only valid for a true production car which has passed full EEC type approval and emmisions testing. There have been several other low volume specials (such as the Porsche 962) that have acheived a higher top speed)."
Gordon Murray, technical director McLaren Cars Ltd


Infact it was so good that it was banned from GT1 racing.lol that is the only way Mclaren even won their races good old english marketing.
