1)McLaren was not stock (no rev limiter)  
2)Go talk to someone that has driven the McLaren over 200, and the Veyron over 200. Ask which one left the experience with white underwear.

Not really. And for the record, I’d take an F1 over the Veyron, but totally respect the Veyrons abilities!

(we saw what happened when one of the worlds fastest GTR’s tried to race a stock Veyron…:tongue)
