I think the 600LT will buck the trend.. this car is astonishing value for money, it's a full-exotic or quasi-hypercar at gt3RS money. I'll be participating in the mclaren rally for pebble beach next month and really hoping they bring it so I can try it. It's absolutely sick to look at also.. beautiful details. This at $250k vs Senna at $1M?.. or this vs almost any car below $500k.. amazing stuff. Well done mclaren

600 lt is nice looking but the 3.8 turbo and the front headlights design is a no go

I used to think that way. But as long as I already have or keep a manual 991.2 GT3 in the stable, I’m open to adding turbo alternatives, as long as they are sub-3000 lbs and track ready. 570s/600LT headlights, don’t love them either, but as long as the power to weight ratio is where I want, I’m willing to make sacrifices over aesthetics. I prefer the 720s headlights, though most people seems to think opposite (most love the 570 headlights and hate the 720 headlights).

I don't know, for me the car is a bit nothing. Would need to drive it to want to pull the trigger on it, which is unlikely to happen. Going to pull my deposit on one today and skip it.

Drive a 675lt before you pull it...as I mentioned before, I could almost care less about Porsche's GT offerings after having driven the 675 LT in anger and then owning a 650s which has sidelined my 991.1 GT3rs completely which just sits in a warehouse now...this coming from a die hard Porsche guy. Doesn't mean it is definitely for you, but it's definitely worth investigating a little more if vehicle dynamics are your concern. If it's aesthetic or otherwise, thats always to each his own of course.

The GT3rs is fun if you're out and able to bang off shifts at WOT all day, which is pretty much never...and then it has it's annoyances as being a quasi race-ish car when you're just putting around. The 650s is fun even at slow speeds, has more of the creature stuff thats nice and then when you can get into the power, lord is it unlike anything else.

do not own any mac
driven many mac
you are right on
when mac matures more as a fully fledged car company, ferrari and porsche have a LOT to fear for.
not everyone wants to drive fast all day long and not everyone wants to track their cars and not everyone care about winning LeMans either!
