Message McLaren F1's were 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, what's more impressive is that it will do 0 to 200 HUNDRED in 28 seconds. They were $1 million brand new. The engine is indeed a BMW V-12 that has been highly tuned.

As for Vectors, there were quite a few made...I ~believe~ over 30. The originals may have been V8 turbos but many of them were recalled or returned as they had many problems. The cost of the originals were roughly $300K. The original owner of Vector was pretty much ruined after a year of production with so many troublesome cars. A company from Malaysia I believe called Proton took over a few years later. The last Vectors made had Lamborghini V12 engines in them and not V8's.

: I don't think McLaren F1's were that quick... I thought they were just fast. For some reason I thought they were like low 4's 0-60.I could be completely wrong, feel free to correct me, I'm not sure. But I was more talkin price-wise, I think McLarens are like $800,000, and i know Vectors aren't THAT much. They're both incredible cars, and I'd love to see both, I just thought it was kinda weird that someone would sa borat is all. Don't mean to start an argument:)
