I admit this is me with Cars & Coffee and has been. As much as I would love to see an Aventador Roadster at any opportunity, it ain't worth going to see the same 50 boring ass Camaros/Corvettes/Mustangs/whatthefuckever I'd seen every month.

I'm still anxious to head down to Houston next month.

00TL-P3.2

Really hoping I'll be able to make it for the Houston one.

Well, if there's an RLX with upgraded tires or an IS350...count me there to gawk.

Splitting hairs between these three mega-cars...but, it would appear the Porsche is the fastest off of a stop but the Poopdick just goes beast-mode the higher the speeds.

The electric power and torque for the 918 is amazing. But it looks like it pays for it a bit in weight.

Hmm, still think I'd take the P1.

Dat V12, though.

Booya4139

nice info, wonder what the respective weights are...

Yumcha

I also think the One:1 and Huayra should be considered in the conversation against those 3...

ttribe

From Yumcha's post -

srika

absolutely insane that the LaFerrari gets to 186mph 1.5 seconds quicker than the P1.

oonowindoo

There is replacement for displacement. The statement is still true regardless how much battery power you put it in there.

Aman

If I were ever able to buy one of these cars in real life, it'd be the 918 because it's more "usable". 0-60 in 2.5 seconds would make your eyes roll around to the side of your head. I'd be too worried about losing my license to go over 100 MPH.

kurtatx

We're like a second away from physics breaking down.

Majofo

usable..

srika

I've done 180 mph before, it's not too bad


oh I mean....

just kidding.........


but with these cars, you'd get up there so damn fast, it wouldn't even be anything. if any cop even were to see that, they'd have no idea wtf it was.

LaFerrari FTW!

Aman

You mean in Mexico, right?


This dude put 500k miles on his 2011 Fiesta.

500,000 miles. In 4 years.

VR1

I like the P1 most

Booya4139

Ya i imagine making yourself nearly pass out from the G's of 2.5 0-60 would be a blast...

Yumcha

You kids do realize that that comparo is SADLY missing out on the RLX (with upgraded tires) and the IS350, right?


YOU HAVE NOT SEEN JAW-DROPPING NUMBERS YET!

speedemon90

I dont know how i'd pick out of the three. Talk about the hardest decision of your life.

I feel like if I could afford 1, i could afford all 3 and i'd just buy them all.

Or we set up a sharing system. I buy 918, two others buy the other 2 and every six months we trade!

srika

not much thought, LaFerrari for me.

P1, too ugly

918, too heavy.




besides, the LaFerrari will smoke em both.

speedemon90

Out of these cars its a drivers race most likely and in that you will lose

Yumcha

Don't let Paul Walker drive any of them. That's the golden rule.

srika

um... based on what?

speedemon90

my dreams

Aman

I was gonna buy the 918

srika

I kinda didn't know (or forgot?) the 918 was AWD until today.

speedemon90

Anniversary edition M5 is making 600hp

Rick_TL-S

I don't know if I'd bring the Pagani into it just because it's more of something Horacio sells as a really fast piece of art, but the Koenigsegg would be interesting considering it's relying on brute power & no hybrid systems.

srika

I heard about that, it's nutty!!!

Looks like the next generation of mainstream safety engineering is here now:

How the shit?

Low risk of serious injury @ 40 mph...... am I reading that correctly?

JS + XES

Check it out.

This is some Asurada boost mode shit.

my friend has this on the 2014 S-Class loaner he is driving.... nutty!

srika

why are you surprised?

45 mph, now that would have been surprising

speedemon90

Have you seen those safety videos Hyundai released for the genesis? Its pretty neat. Its on autoblog.

Costco

That "no overtaking on the right" feature would be nice... if it were implemented on every car.

As is I can see it being a PITA because people don't have poor road etiquette. More people pass on the right for some reason.

oonowindoo

That is because lazy Americans think doing 60mph in the fast lane when there are 5 cars behind you is justified.

So before they can implement the no over taking on the right, they need to implement some kind of MOVE TO THE RIGHT, you slow ass.

Costco

Laziness has its part for sure, but I think it's mostly just ignorance. They simply don't know the principle of slower traffic keep right. Worse yet, you tell them and they still don't listen...
