2k2 6-speed VS. West McLaren Mercedes MP4-17

Hey guys, my friend has a West McLaren Mercedes MP4-17, with the Mercedes-Benz F0110M V10 engine and a carbon fiber/aluminum honeycomb composite body. He has some nice Enkei's with Michelin tires. Anyhow, he wants to race, and I was wondering how I'd hold up? At first I said "No way!" But I do have the 6-speed, so I thought I'd ask? What do you guys think?

I dont...you want to talk about High Speed Traction Control? Plus they get the latest and greatest in ANY technology. My bets still on the Merc! ROFL.

Hey, you just need to remove the steering wheel and hide it somewhere and the race is all over.

I'm sorry, I didn't know I had to post my credentials when I criticize Boy George's publicity stunt at the USGP. Do you have an ACCUS FIA Inc. licence?

I must be living under my rock again as I dont have a clue about this?

Reason is that she is better than most CART flunkies racing in the IRL. She is a woman that is struggling to break into a mans sport and doin much better than the Lynn St.James of the world. I think a chick that races cars and is smart aint to bad in my book.

Put this pic under your rock:

IMO, it's very sad that she let the idiot son use her in this stunt. As for her talents, I'm sure she's got to have some.

Wow...gotcha now. Any links to point to the prank so that I can read about it?

It will be a new world order when women finally make it to F1. But probably not in my lifetime.
