McLaren F1 was always my fantasy sportscar, I hear they are coming out with some new street legal supercars later this year, or possibly 2011. Designed by a racing team to be a street legal racecar with no holds barred and money not an issue. Although it was made to be driven legally by anyone the McLaren F1 set new racetrack speed records.
