I think it’s all a matter of perspective; I’ve crammed myself into sports cars that are a bit worse than the 570 and still enjoyed them. So I’m kinda used to a snug cockpit. Certainly not a car appropriate for GT use, if you’re big... and helmet clearance will be an issue for anyone at 6’ 2 or taller, I think.

Yup, I agree. I used to cram myself into an Alfa Romeo Spider when I was younger. I'm not especially interested in that now. For me, the 991 is a better choice. But that McLaren is sexy, and the exhaust note is intoxicating. I wish it was a bit bigger inside. Maybe I need to drive a 720....
