Video just makes me want to take my 600LT out for a drive! And I just took her out yesterday.. There's just so much exhilaration and drama when I take it out for a "quick" drive. My wife thinks I'm going to get milk at the market. lol

What are the 675lt must have options?

Is there anything the 675lt offers that the 765lt doesn't as a package?

- P1 bucket seats
- nose lift
- if you track the clubsport professional track. And see if you can find one with the titanium roll bar (don't think they came on US cars but there's half a dozen Canadian cars and plenty of ROW cars with them).

The only cool option on the 675 that is not on the 765 Is a functional roof scoop. It's a masterpiece and sounds incredible.
To note a car cannot be optioned with a roof scoop and the titanium roll bar. Pick your preference - I track so opted for the roll bar and the harness belts over the roof scoop.

Other then that there are plenty of CF options and wheel options. Here's a good resource:

That must just be the 675LT? My 600LT has the roof scoop and titanium roll bar.

Regulatory reasons did not allow one to option harness bar on any road legal Mac's prior to 600 LT. No cars could be optioned with it (including 675 LT).

600 Lt was the first one that it could be optioned in USA (however, it had to be installed by the dealer and did not come installed from the factory - regulatory reasons).

I have loved every second of ownership of my 675LT. I loved the GT3RS as well, I think they just are different experiences. The 675LT is my favorite car I have ever owned, but I don't have as much experience with the other brands like others here, so YMMV. I am likely going to sell my 675LT soon, as I want to experience Ferrari and Lambo ownership and it only makes sense to have one of these in the stable at any time. If you have not checked the McLaren box, I would definitely suggest you give them a chance. Get a good PPI and enjoy in good health.

Would you consider a 570S or GT a fun weekend car (possibly a couple of track days) comparable to a 991 GT3?

Its looking like I will have to return my .2GT3 over title problems.

That is pretty much the perfect use case for the 570S imo. The more you track, the more I would go with Porsche, and the more you canyon carve the more I would go with McLaren, at least in the 570S flavor. 570S is very good on the track but it's not really a track-optimized vehicle like the GT3. It is definitely more fun on backroads, loads more torque, very light and quick feeling. Think Lotus Exige on big-time roids. OTOH, McLaren LT versions are absolutely bonkers on track, a pro coach did a 1:27.9 at Laguna yesterday in a 765LT, in traffic.

Thanks for that. Any real difference in the 570S and 570GT?

570S is a bit more hard-core but the difference would be subtle in back road driving I would think.

As a fun car, yes the 570S or even the GT would be fine.

But not as a comp to a 991 GT3 (and certainly not the RS you had)
