A regular McLaren F1 is, in my eyes at least, a league above Sub-Zero because there has never before or since been something like it.
It also helps that it is a beautiful car and Thus is the car I would choose if I was given a choice of any car that has ever existed. I love the McLaren F1 if you didn't notice.
This is uglier than a regular F1, but it is still well in Sub-Zero Territory.

I've openly expressed this before in the extremely hotly debated original F1's topic but in my honest opinion this is a much, much cooler car than the normal F1 purely because of the styling - there's nothing else like it in terms of presence.
Is it prettier than the normal one? No, but then I don't think the F1 is a particularly attractive car in the first place precisely because it's "functional"; the Longtail takes that functional styling and adds a heavy dose of overstyled craziness with the scoops and vents and the length that makes it appear so much sleeker.....
Wow. I don't think I've ever raved that much about a McLaren F1 of all things.

SZ, simply because the F1 is a "Concorde" moment in history, plus the Long-tail has an equally legendary status, much alike it's equally bonkers homologated rivals like the CLK GTR and GT-One.
The long-tail is just as awesome a machine as the standard F1 in my book. Sure it's not as beautiful as the standard F1 (even then beautiful is a strong word to use regarding the F1 IMO) but it's not hideous, in fact quite the opposite. Whilst the standard F1 is clean and smooth, this is dramatic and more edgy in design (and somewhat divisive), but really channels that 'race-car for the road' feel.

As others have mentioned, not as attractive as the original shape, in fact it's way too much. But it's still a McLaren F1, which can't be anything other than cool, just not SZ. Plus its rarity means that it won't be used much = -1 cool point.

Cool.
Call me crazy but I prefer the normal F1 to the longtail. To me the normal F1 would be SZ.

How can you dislike this car? It just looks better than the standard F1. Cool.

Coincidentally I nominated the LM variant before and seeing as many people said they would rather have the Longtail GT than the LM, I decided to know if that's true or not and now looking at it, I'd say it's false. Some would still have the regular F1 over both variants when one variant has been "longtailed" while the other retains the GTR kit except converted into a road car.
