Mclaren themselves will modify the F1 to what you want, aerdynamics, gear ratios, exhaust etc.

No they won't which is why the owner of that F1 has his car at Manthey, where they are revising the suspension (which is too soft in the owners opinion).

Several of the other cars pictured including the CGT are also owned by him, as he keeps quite a few cars at Manthey, who look after them for him.

Looks like one of the first McLaren F1 XP's off the line. What is that a early 94 car, late 93 maybe? Looks like crap with those mirrors.

Nothing wrong with the mirror its called functional design. The crap is the Vette on the other side of the street. Chris there is an inspiration for you .. Life Force ... think positive.

Those mirrors were desinged on the prototype cars and made it to very few production models. They look like **** compared to the later cars.

Isn't this just the sickest car ever?

I agree it looks more conventional. I'd probably have more trouble with the unconvential center seating rather than the mirror placement. Sickest car ever? dunno. That car's claim to fame was having the wolrd 233MPH record for a production car which was broken by both a GT3 and the Koenigsegg.
