991RS: amazing front end, telepathic pdk in automatic mode, best noise. Not very comfortable inside compared to other two. Really fun to drive differently than the others.. rear-engines and requires some finesse but most fun to power out of slower turns with.
458 Sp: dances and sings.. really rewards smooth driving, less forgiving than RS, will plow understeer if you're messy.. undertire'd front end. I had a difficult time connecting, also the steering is way too light, makes no sense to me. Transmission not as good as pdk, much more comfortable and roomy.. great sound also, I prefer RS.
LT: perfection. Best steering by far. Carbon chassis and magic suspension work like a charm on road and on track. Incredible power and torque, much faster than the other two. The ultimate track weapon, and very comfortable on road also.

I won't address looks or fit and finish etc.. just pure driving experience. LT is the daddy, superior in all ways.. but I would still take the RS from a pure badassery standpoint. (I can't describe "badassery" but in my mind it's a combo of boy racer attitude and welcome imperfection)

I consider the LT as McLaren's 'hail Mary' following the uphill battle they faced from the press with the 12C/650S - namely not being considered by some as 'emotional' enough. They knew they needed to knock it out of the park and pulled out all the stops with the LT. I think the magnitude and cost of the improvements they made over the 650S was well beyond what most manufacturers do for their track day versions.

The acceleration is breathtaking and borderline intimidating. The cracks it makes during up and downshifts are addictive. Several reviewers have commented that the car feels dramatic even at slow/street speeds - and it's true. The YouTuber Mr. JWW's reaction in the link below was similar to my own - and he's also owned a 991 GT3 and Speciale.

The fun starts t 5:30.

"The most dramatic modern day car I've driven".

What he said.

Cars with great engineering that also represent the last of an era, will hold value like the Speciale and 997.2 RS.

The 675LT won't be special once the 720LT comes out, as the 720LT will be a lighter, more powerful turbo, like the 675LT was. The 991 RS won't hold Value like the 997 RA unless the 992 RS goes turbo.

Rating in order of best to worst per car

Noise 458sp, 675 LT, RS
Power LT, 458, RS
Brakes LT, RS, 458
Steering LT, RS, 458
Grip RS, LT, SP
Transmission: RS, LT (close but PDK feels bulletproof and LT paddles superior) 458
Lap times short track LT , RS close , 458 no chance
Lap times long track, LT way faster, RS, 458 zero chance
Tires: RS Michelin, LT trofeo (only last 2 track days max), 458 (fronts destroyed on track)
Ease of access to 8-9/10ths: RS, LT, 458

Attention/ Gum ball effect: 458, LT, RS

Conclusion: LT is best car of bunch. 458 most overrated, RS most aware of budget gap and unless purple just looks bland compared to both.

Personal subjective: LT remains best car I have ever driven excluding 918, F1, P1.
