It seems about the same to me. The only annoying thing about the 600LT is I find the FAL is not as easy to activate as the button in the GT3RS. It is also slower to get to full height.
Yes, I know how to do the shortcut on the 600LT (press up on stalk twice), but I have had times where it didn’t work, or a message pops up at just the wrong time and then you have to clear that message before the shortcut will work. Frankly the FAL is just annoying on the 600LT and takes some getting used to. The biggest thing is you just have to be mentally prepared ahead of time more than in the GT3RS.
But as far as just ground clearance goes, I don’t notice much difference.

I tend to like Matt's reviews. However, after some track days with my 720, I think any really meaningful review of the 765LT needs to be sorted out on the track.

MACs' success feeds off from their F1 domination, However their F1 presence has been going downhill ever since they lost Ron Dennis and Hamilton.

What, never purchased a car due to F1 presence .....if that was the case we would all be driving MB’s. Well my wife has a AMG 6.3 vehicle, not me. (:

Yup I will always have a Porsche as a staple. Will say I do love my 675LT which has been zero problem for me .......it’s a different ride lots of power at 2850lbs. I do think my Speedster will be my last Pcar for awhile, and I’m ok with that.

Think it’s a fair question, but for me not so much ......I buy what intrigues me vs what’s marketed. I’m a past marketing guy, and my primary mission was to move dollars out of your pocket by all means. Guess I would have to understand more of the connection, and it’s possible for sure.

Serious question. Does Mclaren bounce people around between F1, road racing (GT3), and the production car side of things? MB's marketing department try desperately to make this connection and as far as I know it never happens, unlike the Porsche's GT department where I believe there is knowledge, personnel, and technology transfer.
