I missed it for a week or two but have put on almost 3000 miles on the Lusso since April. Being able to put both kids in the back is priceless. I drove the 458 roughly 250 miles the last year I had it. As many here the "value" of a car is how much you can enjoy it. Glad I was able to own the 458 but life moves on.

I'll have the Lusso for quite awhile especially if the next GT car isn't NA.

Is the exhaust loud enough stock or does it need an aftermarket pipe?

keep whichever excites you more. the worst depreciation is behind you on the 570. and trading cars is always expensive (as dealers make money on both the new car and your trade). so put the $ aside, as it's not going to be terribly different between them.

this is my second Mclaren so far no big issues that hamper the driving experience!! Some molding pieces have came lose and some crazy window problems but I guess that’s some of the charm in British cars!

Is this a car we are talking about or an investment? If it’s about $$ or investments then sell the Mac. It will depreciate more. If it’s about what makes you smile more or what you will use more, then only you can answer that. It’s like saying what’s better a Rolls or a Ferrari. In this case _ Ones a GT like sporty turbo convertible. The other is a borderline hard street/track NA car. Very different. Almost incomparable..

^^ congrats! awesome pair. so, does this mean you're keeping both? color looks identical between them (is the Mclaren a custom Lizard green?).

Did you disable the chime? The chime in the FF is unbearable and haven't found anything online to disable it
