  • Passengers have to sit on the left front fender?

  • No, that's ridiculous. They can also sit on the rear spoiler.

  • love the noise! especially the barks when it changes down :D bring back can-am!

  • @SheehanMotorRacing how do i get to drive one of these utterly gorgeous cars from my youth....an M8F would do for starters!

  • Cool to see the actuation lever for the carbs, on off on off :o) Awesome sound

  • Who needs double clutching?

    Just press the clutch, put it out of gear, blip the throttle to match lower gear rpm and change down, release clutch.

    We europeans only know double clutching from very old trucks, never heard one had to use it in a road going car or even a race car

  • @gcmc2 : thnx 4 your answer

  • U can manage clutchless downchanges in any race transmission with dog-clutches. U do need to have pretty good skill because U have to use the throttle to "unload" the engaged gears & then blip it while in neutral to match the engine revs to the lower gear U're going into. U can manhandle them but the dog clutches suffer & it's a little hard on the rest of the trans line too. Today's boxes often incorporate an ignition chopper to cut the ingition for a fraction of a second to aid disengagement.

  • Is that true that one don't need to use double clutch heel & toe to downshift in canam cars like this mc laren ?

  • Engineering at the edge. I love Can Am.

    We need to bring it back, and updated, unlimited. F1 is a bore with the safety and weeniness...

    These cars were not safe.
