Great videos! Best thing I have seen all day. The sound is amazing. I noticed a couple things:
1. Third break light was removed.
2. Mario was talking about "the other one" What other car was he talking about?
3. He said the front end felt planted at speed, my experience with these has been that the front end starts feeling light around 150... how did they solve that with seemingly stock aerodynamics?

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting.

John prepped a C5 and a C4 for the event....Mario was talking about the C5. The C4 garnered the most praise from Mario.....he had less than good things to say about every other vehicle....even the $1.5 mil McClaren wandered badly.

Thank you for sharing Jim. I love the sound of a free screaming LT5.

Looks like they had the Shinoda tail end treatment with the spoiler as well. At least I think it's Shinoda.

What is in the final shot of both videos?

That's a quick shot of the McLaren F1's engine bay.

You can tell from the horizontal matching crossmember, plus it says "McLaren " on the drivers side valve cover in the videos.(Oh wait it doesn't have a drivers side or passenger side-on the LEFT valve cover then) That's really tough to see though.
If the video shots would have shot up slightly more, we would have seen the gold foil heat reflector.

AWESOME VIDEOS, thanks for sharing. Sounds awesome!

Yep F1.......it is on the video as well.
