Raced a McClaren on the freeway and won (Pics)

[Steve68]

I raced this McClaren on the 5 North freeway yesterday and won! I wasn't in the 350 but in my 150 (as in F dash). I had both ecoboost turbos working overtime in rush-hour traffic but I was eventually able to overtake him!

Looks like someone's high-$ baby is in need of help.

Those break a lot. It's like $15K to have a full suspension job done! They don't have sway bars at all, and instead use some kind of shock system that's totally adjustable.

MP4-12C.... M and P = Money Pit

A friend of mine works in the pharmaceutical industry. Last week he said he visited a pharm company in Del Mar and they showed him they're private exotic car collection in the parking garage. He'd mentioned that there were McClarens, Ferraris and Lambos, as well as a GT350 in the garage. That truck got on the freeway right at Del Mar Heights road so I'm thinking it might have come from that garage. We're plotting a late night heist.

.....or maybe it's new and he's having it hauled to his house.

Haha I was also on the 5 North yesterday afternoon and spotted the same car.

Right across the street from my work is a McLaren/Bentley/Aston Martin dealership. They don't have a state inspector so they bring their cars to our shop. Two of my former coworkers now work there. As soon as one of their techs retires I'm submitting my application.

Hehe! That's funny. No, I was trying to check out the McClaren and not rear-end the car in front of me.

Yeah the car doesnt have tags on it so its not heading to the shop. I would say a dealer exchange or delivery to a customer.

Hey, no street racing threads!

I once passed a Saleen S7 in a similar manner. In my case, I was in the carpool lane and he was stuck in rush hour traffic. I passed him like he was standing still (...he was).

That's me. I don't want to put miles on my McLaren, but I still want people to see it.
