I bet it was a sled, front wheel drive, not a car for corners at all of course.

One of my friends had one of those in HS. It had the Cadillac 500 V8. Drank a ton of gas.

I wish someone would gift me one of those

I trade it on a new C8 Z06 and pocket the extra cash
I'd have to go to Minneapolis or Kansas City for service on the McLaren C12

Yeah, they're all designed by the same computer programs to optimize performance in the same wind tunnel.

It's not only wind tunnel of course, it's also for cooling, which gets to be a serious issue with midengine cars.  Then there is downforce which is why the Z07 package has those large spoilers on the back end, and front aero tricks as well.  That Vette has the Z07 package on it.

The McLarens are nice, but IMO the absolute best looking cars in the world right now, are Aston Martin.
