I REALLY like it....I want to test drive one. Will Mclaren let you test drive these?
its down to this or an R8.
I would pick a 570 in a heartbeat over a R8. Better performance, more exotic, more exclusive, etc. I guess the only reason I would lean the other way would be if I were really far from a Mac service center (which I'm not).

Someone else might have said this earlier in the thread, but if not, I might also suggest driving a 650s. A very lightly used coupe can probably be found for similar money as a new 570. IMHO, the 650s really is a lot more car
Besides the 991 GT3 and 991 GT3RS which sports cars and exotics have eliminated auto creep?
BMW DCTs have auto-creep from the factory, but dealers can program it off. On all others, it cannot, for what I know. I don't mind auto-creep, but my question is if there's a clutch longevity reason for it, as most sports/exotics have auto-creep? Thx. The good news for us non-PDK-S Porsche owners is it's easy to paddle-shift to N on stop lights, if desired.

I doubt there's a good clutch reason. I bet it's just that people are used to automatics creeping. My Tesla defaults to auto-creep and obviously it doesn't have a transmission.
In the old days of Ferrari F1 (360 for example) they told you not to let it creep as it actually destroyed the clutch. Clearly that's a different animal however.

One thing in the R8's favor is servicing costs. If you buy Audicare at the time of purchase for about $1,000, all maintenance costs are included in the factory warranty time/mileage frame.

Yes they will. While these cars are selling, they aren't exactly flying out the door. Go for a test drive.. nothing faster or more unique at $180k, the carbon tub has a feel all its own. Overall it's very impressive

Gotcha. I just love the way the R8 sounds with the V10. Plus I would love to feel like Tony Stark

Absolutely agree with that! I really would love to aim for a 675LT. I saw a white one in my neighborhood not too long ago. Very beautiful car

Might be important to some, maybe not.

This is VERY important to me. Thank you for informing on this.
