Street car is a street car. Race car is a race car.

Yes but I think the finer point is that if you try to make a street car close to a race car, you succeed at neither goal (Senna)

Yep, Ill still take a 997 cup car over a gt2rs for the track....lap times aside, about 100 times more fun AND safer.

Sure, there's definitely something to that opinion. But really, the fact of the matter is anyone who has a Senna owns what, 6, 8, 10 cars and they just want something super cool that will appreciate in value and they can take it to the track and have, as street-legal cars go, a super quick machine that you don't have to tow to the track, with all the logisitics that implies.

The 720 is not huge at all, just has a nice backside. I drove one two weeks ago in Dallas. Wow, they look even better in person, and the power . . . .

I now find myself really wanting a 675LT, to me, they look incredible.

Definitely not huge. It’s well proportioned.

Saw a Senna, thought it looked cool. I am not sure I liked the blue carbon fiber or graphics, but in a more subdued color it would be really nice. I did not find it unattractive at all which I know was part of the knock on it when released.

I thought the 720s looked great (in the rear view), actually I think McClarens are attractive cars and not too big. Now give me one with a manual ....

Porsche- zero issues as well. Tons of space for a big guy like me.

Ditto for me. 6'4" and 240 lbs. I've done some 3+ hr. drives in my 720 and still very comfortable. I was able to sit in the Senna seat in the 600LT and fit surprisingly well in these as well. It just takes a little effort to slide in, but once I was in, I was quite comfortable. However, I wouldn't want to spend hours in them. I also tried the GT3 carbon seats and I could barely fit. Definitely too small for me. I was surprised that the 600LT has much more room than the 570.

the SO has put 2k miles on the 570 Spider as of this morning. got the car in October of 2018.
texted me this morning after driving to work and said "i love Bru (name of the car). there's no denying it."

only mech issue so far was an oil leak at the filter housing. suspect due to insufficient torque at factory.
sorted out in 2 days (had to order a part) and no oil leaks since.

my only complaint about the car is that she never lets me drive it!!!
guess i have to stick with my 52k mile 997.2 GT3...

No carpets, buckets sit you lower vs soft seats

Default Some pics



Pearl white, lots of carbon, lightweight wheels. Red calipers, red interior accents. All the tech stuff. I've noticed the exhaust in the 20's are more aggressive and the car in general is very well put together.

Nice. Here's my '19 Coupe. I think the HRE P104SC wheels really transformed the look of the car and were a nice complement to Cerulean blue.
