Hands down the 675LT is a better street car due to the 3 suspension set-ups, and the softest setting is a subtle ride. Also the engine torque 516 lb-ft while redlining at 9k RPM you have gobs of power in ever gear. I only drove my RS on the track and it’s at home there or mountain roads, and some like it on the street for me you have to rev it high to enjoy and now you’re in jail. 675LT lives in both worlds no problem, and I actually sold the RS as I drove the LT more, and it’s the one car I really enjoy driving no matter what. Sold the RS for the speedster which is a fun daily or weekend car manual topless.

What are the odds that a car with the plate Track Crack gets cracked on the track?

Seems like a lot of GT3 owners are considering the 600LT. I've had mine for two years and 6K miles and it's been a blast. Looking to move up to a 765LT so my 600LT will be hitting the market at some point in the coming months.

If you're thinking about it. Drive one. I guarantee you'll be a believer after a minute behind the wheel. They really are that good.

The 600lt feels like a small car compared to the 991 and 992. Especially behind the wheel. I'm sure some of this is due to the short nose and visibility.
Steering feel is also great and the lack of weight is noticeable.

Quick walk around clip...

Wait a minute... when did the 675LT get a 9K RPM motor?

Can't find a drooling emoji... So using ........... just imagine I'm drooling into the wind.
But hit me up when you are ready to sell, I had a 570S with a tune and a .2 RS at the same time, the 570S was a lot faster with much better turn-in. Now that the 992 get the "new" double wishbone front suspension, maybe turn-in would be better, but the speed advantage of the McLarens are hard to ignore. I don't care much about streetability as I don't use these cars as my daily. BTW my '67 Corvette already has a double wishbone front suspension setup, so what's so "new" about it on the 992????

So after some debating, I have decided to cancel my GT3 order with Porsche. Maybe I will pick up a GT3RS when they announce them in the future or pick up a used one. But with how absolutely amazing my 765LT is, I just don't think I would even drive the GT3 haha. In the meantime, I got a 765LT spider on the way as well. I will be doing an almost identical spec to my 765 coupe, so will have matching 765's! I wish that the new GT3 would have come out sooner so I could have enjoyed that before getting the 765, but this 765 has literally ruined it for me haha. I have 0 desire to drive any of my other vehicles now after driving this 765. I said it before and ill say it again, this is going to go down as one of the best cars of all time. If you don't have one, sell the house, sell the cars, sell the wife, sell the kids, and get one.

It used to be comments like this that made me think 765 LT owners are in their bubble world. However, now being fortunate enough to experience one in all use cases, it is the only car I want to drive too (and I am a save the manuals, old manual car loving dinosaur).

Look forward to joining you on the 765 LT coupe/spider duo. I just want more of this car.

Used to waffle on 991 GT2 RS. Never pulled the trigger. Let go my AMG GT BS allocation after letting go the AMG GTC Roadster. Took a chance on 765LT after being blown away by 720S. So glad I did and never looking back.

Kids have called it the batmobile countless times now. It is a crowd pleaser as well.

I just spent 4 days with a 765LT. Spectacular car. Included a bit of a comparison to the 675LT and 720S. https://karenable.com/4-days-4-hundr...mclaren-765lt/
