the mclaren f1 XP5 is by far the fastest accelerating non-racecar mclaren of the lot, achieving 100-xkmh times comparable to the bugatti veyron. If driven by a capable driver like Andy Wallace, the F1 has the potential to keep up with, or even beat, a bugatti veyron to the 1/4mile , and even km.

Notes (for those sceptics and maths buffs):
new improved speed interpolation function and distance calculator (and less crap) .Acceleration timings are more accurate.
Speed determination: speed was determined by frame by frame analysis (25fps) on the gps, using edge detection software. The older vid uses 12fps, so this is more accurate. Speed is then interpolated between every 10kmh.
The initial speed is bout 90kmh.
Distance calculation: calculus was used to sum up the speed in kmh/3.6*25fps every frame, to get the distance.
The initial distance of 40m is the lowest possible estimate of the distance it would cover doing 0-90kmh. If it were wrong, even if the mac started from 20m (it couldnt do 0-90kmh in less than 20m , obviously, coz the average speed 0-90kmh would be less than 27kmh) at 90kmh, the quarter mile time would only increase by 0.25s.So any error is insignificant
Timer: Adjusted to read 3.2s when the speed reaches 100kmh (mc f1 0-100kmh 3.2s). So it would reflect 0-xkmh timings.
Disclaimer: For those who are still sceptical, look at zachary 27's vid or mclaren VIDeo's vid of the record run and you'll relise than the 100-xkmh times are waay faster than standard tests.
