Yup, even my Spyder was an annoyance in that regard. I can't imagine what rolling up in a 570s and opening those doors would do. On the plus side, I've never been to a C&C and I never stop when I go out for my weekend drives, so it would only be an issue at the gas station and I can do those stops at off hours.

I'm very impressed with McLaren. While other companies are hoarding their money, McLaren is spending on R&D and investing in the future of their cars. This 720 is going to be a beast. What separates McLaren imo is the carbon tub and suspension. I don't think the GT2 RS will be a competitor. Porsche needs to come out with the Fefi soon to compete. I will still get the 991.2 GT3 because it is a manual, NA and will be reliable for tracking. I see no reason anyone would choose a Turbo S over a 570gt or the GT2 RS over the 720s, unless we are talking about resale.
Agree the 720 sounds much superior to gt2 RS in every way other than resale.

[QUOTE=Drifting;13966676]Only reason to pick turbo s over 570gt is if you actually use the rear seats in the turbo. Otherwise 570 all day. Plus turbo s depreciation is major, not any better than 570.
I agree with that 100%

That's what I'm afraid of.
If it was women, I'd be all for the doors. Seriously, my real question marks about the 570S lie elsewhere. If I could get over those, I'd be able to live with the doors. Still hoping it's all a moot point.

Mclarens success comes at a cost for Porsche, each one is a car Porsche could have sold and the lack of GT car supply sent customers to McLaren

Other than maybe gold-diggers being attracted to late model Ferraris, there doesn't seem to be a nice car that truly attracts regular women, however driving just a cheap, crappy beater does seem to repel them, if you and they are older than college age .
