Most of us probably drive 7 or 8 tenths of our cars ability on the track, knowing there is more in it gives me confidence as I continue to build my skills. The 765 in an average driver should be an absolute weapon on track when compared to a 2RS. Only big doubts I keep having with the Mclaren brand is the cost of maintenance for us track junkies as they mandate a pre and post inspection. I am trying to push my local dealer into some type of compromise over this as I have no interest to drive the car much on the road, even on the 600LT they mandate the pre and post and i am sure the cost of these inspections are more than the annual cost to maintain a RS?

Did you read my post. I was discussing sound, not tracking ability. And, I said I just bought a GT4 to do some tracking in, which I did buy, and which I will track. I don’t have to “prove” anything to you or anybody else. Who are you to tell people what they should or shouldn’t post. And, by the way, what did I say about those cars that isn’t true?

I think you either give "most of us" too much credit, or overestimate our driving ability on track.

Compared to what even a semi-pro driver can do in these cars, I would imagine "most of us" (myself definitely included) would probably be getting around 5 or 6 tenths (on a good day) by comparison.

I haven’t driven a 675LT on track yet. Everyone seem to rave about how awesome it is. It’s definitely something I’d love to do at some point and see what it’s all about!

Interesting takes on the 765LT and the Senna, as well as the GT2 RS

Remember though "Mclaren on a dedicated race track vs the Ring will be considered very differently" The Ring is more of a narrow fast road, than a smaller/flatter/wider track that represents most tracks in the US for DE.

Not sure history is going to be a great guide going into this winter. I just finished an update on the Supercar market:Supercar Market Update Q3 2020

It's incredible. I compare it to a GT4 on steroids.. it has that perfect combination of balance, feel and ability to make a bad driver feel good and a great driver feel exceptional.

Looking forward to ticking off the McLaren box with a 675LT, which I will end up taking delivery of next week.

Will I like it more than my GT3RS? I don't know.

Right now, my GT3RS was THE car. However, I told myself after reading these forums and learning from many of you who have far more vehicles/money than I have, that you need to experience them first hand and make the decision yourself. As a result, I decided I would buy a lambo, ferrari, and mclaren and see how they all compare to the GT3RS. I will be learning that over the next few years.

In the end, I think we all agree, drive the car that gets you excited. Lots of (well-received) opinions out there. For me, the rawer the car, the better,

Thanks to all of you who continue to offer insight on many different makes/models, as it helps many of us out quite a bit in figuring out their next car purchase.

You're going to be SO happy, I doubt you'll sell the 675LT. All the adjectives have been used already, all the descriptors.. I'll add just that it manages to both be engaging on the road with great tactile steering and light feeling but with great power, like a lotus exige on steroids, and also immensely capable on track.. almost close to a stripped out track weapon.

few cars can offer that... GT3RS can't it's dull on the road, and can't hold a candle to 675LT on track.great choice.

Keep us posted. I'm looking to add a 675 or scud as my next car.

Congrats! You made a great choice. I have a 765 LT coming, but will not sell my 675LT spider. The car is stout. I drove it 300 miles to the track(round trip) then ran all day and drove home.

The car is very comfortable on the road, had to drive through PA and I swear their highways are cobblestone.

I was to lazy to load up my trailer, sucks getting old and both kids out the house to be my pit boys.

Enjoy, would love to hear your feedback.

Congrats! Please definitely give us your comparison between the LT and the RS. I was going to get an LT next, but ended up getting a 4 seater due to family needs. But the next car will probably be another McLaren, just not sure which one yet.
