Not a very convincing article - the last time I saw a McLaren at a track it was leaving on a tow truck 
Food for thought: Christian Gebhardt driving
McLaren 650S NBr - 7.35 Vs 991.2 GTS - 7.24
McLaren 570S Hockenheim Short - 1.08.8 Vs 991.2 GTS - 1.08.0
or Randy Pobst at Willow Springs
Mclaren 570S - 1:27.21 VS 991.2S - 1:27.1
add in the usability factor and the article is ahemm crap, particularly in relation to the 540

Race Car
Given that the McL model was specifically designed to compete against the Turbo S (with PDK and closer HP/Torque ratings), and the GTS is the "fun" (manual) rather that the "performance" (PDK) version, this is a very strong tribute to the GTS.

Friend of mine has the 570s. Truly special feeling car, with a great suspension and spectacular power.
the sound is really lacking to me though, and I did find the car to be a little more dull than the numbers suggest because of it and the gearbox.
i think the 911 has a more raw and exciting feel due to the better sound and gearbox. Both cars handle spectacularly well and have great brakes.
both phenomenal cars. Incredible to me what Porsche can do for the money
