I would say on-site has a more experience with center-locks. They have their own Castrol Molub grease, hub adapter, guide, and high torque tools. They know exactly how to service these cars, including how to properly clean and re-lock the hubs. They frequently provide the tire service at High Plains Raceway during race weekends so they have lots of experience with high dollar cars and Porsches. I trust them with my Turbo without supervision, which says alot!
When elevated does it, I usually lube the hubs myself and supervise, though they know the general procedure.
That McLaren color looks very close to the perpetually popular Mazda Soul Crystal Red, which is one of the best colors of all time. It's a tri-coat with one clear coat containing dark metal flakes, and another reflecting light. Thus, it color shifts in all kinds of light when viewing from different angles. Here is our 2019 ND2. Even with both a C8 and TTS to drive, this one still puts a smile on our face after every spirited drive on the twisties.

I feel the same way about my S2K!! Sometimes that car does things to me that the faster / more capable cars can't do.
Yes, it is, and there's nothing like pushing a very light sports car to the limit. The "lightness" thing is real too, which is every bit as important as power. 200 HP in a car weighing 2200 lbs. is no slouch in the hands of skillful driver.

Your S2K is blast too!
Agreed!!! My former stock S2K was a blast but now my current supercharged one at 397 WHP @ 3000 lbs. is a BLAST!!!
Can't really use the "slow car fast" think with it. It's fairly Fast, and so much better to drive than the low torque stock engine was.
I love my faster cars too.... just in very different ways.
Sounds like we think the same way when it comes to sports cars. The MX-5 communicates everything it's doing in ways the heavier, much more powerful cars just can't do. It's a cool feeling I just don't get with the C8 and TTS.
A lot of folks will try to drive an MX-5 the way they do a car with big power relying primarily on the throttle and thinking it's slow, but it's a "momentum car." By keeping the revs and speed high, it becomes very competitive, and it gets through tight corners more effortlessly.
Decided I wanted to switch up the look and also wanted the black set available to mount the Cup 2's I bought, So I swapped out the wheels today for the original set with brand new PS4S's mounted in them that I got a few years ago. Been stored downstairs in the climate controlled basement with my other cars, so even though they're 2020 and 2021 date codes, they should still be very sticky.
The Extreme Sport Conti's still look Great!!! Awesome tire, just different driving characteristics than the Michelin's. Not sure if I'll keep them or try to sell as a great set for someone wanting a deal.
