This is really funny to me. I have a CR-Z, albeit with HPD suspension, and I totally don't get the hate it receives in the press and forums. I've driven plenty of great cars... the CR-Z is no 991 or 997, but it's grippy, light, and slow enough that you can floor it basically everywhere. It's not fast, but indeed very fun. It's also like $21k new.

Congrats: a serious driver's car and very cool that McL rolled out a stripped down car of this ilk. Another magnitude of speed/grip/aero. I've read a lot of glowing reviews on the 570s, e.g.

Don't worry, you'll sell it in the next year or so just like all your other cars. I thought you had decided on the CR-Z?

Would be much better. Anyway the Macca doesn't much interest me but next go around you should try the Aston and report back how the ownership experience is.

Awesome news your 570s is one HOT car ... I think you might want to get the windows tinted ... I am sure you are going to be in a lot of people's pictures and videos when they see that car driving down the road !!

Enjoy !!

...which is also twice the price. If you're spending that much, you could get a beautiful Vanquish for less and leave the ugly (although very fast) Cubist sculpture in Maranello.
