All run by VW electrics.

I will take the british electrics of the McLaren over that, thanks.

Of course. But wasn't the question "why do car guys criticize it?"

GT cars get criticized all the time, this isn't the first. Supras and 3000GT's were other examples.

And as far as the F1 being a track car, I have never heard anyone use such a classification. You can use an F1 on the street just fine. All street cars sold to consumers are just that: Street cars. Whether they perform well on the track doesn't make them a track car. It's just like bikes -- Manufacturers don't sell "track bikes"........They sell street bikes, and people take them and turn them into track bikes if they feel like it.
