As stated, the GT3RS is a very very fast sports car, not a supercar. The 750 is a supercar that is as fast and in some cases faster than hypercars. As suspected, this is a Porsche forum, so naturally people are going to defend the GT3RS I get that. But trying to bring up reliability and depreciation topics which are not true is funny. As I stated earlier in this thread. I have 4 McLarens and a 5th on the way. I have first hand experience of ownership unlike 90% of people on this forum. Reliability is just fine. And in terms of depreciation, last time I checked a 4 year old 765LT still sells wayyyy above MSRP (one just sold at Barrett Jackson for $800k three weeks ago). P1’s are 10+ years old and sell for $1mil + over their original MSRP, shall I go on? So that theory is debunked as well.

People talking about Porsches being the better “endurance” cars when 99% of the people on this forum have never even tracked their 911 and instead take it to the country club on the weekends haha. Me on the other hand track my cars and track them hard. Go to a track day at Laguna Seca, there are more Mclarens there than any other supercar brand by far. There are thousands or Mclarens on the road, they are just as reliable as any other brand. But the few that do have problems, the owners like to come on the forums and talk about how unreliable they are. But the 99% of the other owners and cars on the road are just fine and not complaining.

As stated, the people that usually like to talk trash about the brand don’t own a Mclaren and second can’t afford one. I am all for supporting the brand of supercar who’s currently making the best cars. If another brand starts making the most exotic, fastest, best all around supercar, then I’m all for it! But currently there is no other brand offering what Mclaren does with their cars, and especially the dollar for value $$. Shoot even their entry level models are carbon tub, ultra exotic, carbon panel, lightweight, crazy horsepower, track monsters that are unbelievably easy to daily drive as well. You can get a few years old used 720 for $200k-250k range. Name another car for that price that offers what the 720 does, any car from any brand go ahead. You can’t because there isn’t haha

I can’t tell you the amount of people I know that sold their GT3 or previous generation GT3, GT3RS after driving a Mclaren. Even just a basic 570. They sold their Porsche within weeks and picked up a 570, 720, Artura, 600LT, 765LT, etc and haven’t looked back. And these are hardcore track guys, not guys that take their car to cars and coffee on Saturday mornings haha. All I will say is go to your local Mclaren dealer and drive one around the block, and your life will be changed. I had Mclarens first, so when the 992 GT3 was announced I figured I’d drink the Porsche kool aid and ordered one. And immediately I could tell the only things better about the GT3 was the engine noise and that’s it. Plus the Porsche dealer treats me like crap and adds ADM to all their cars, I get treated like royalty at the Mclaren dealer and have never paid a cent over MSRP for any of my Mclarens.

FYI, The GT3RS is more in line with a 600LT or 620R, not a 750.

Don't coming in here preaching the truth about Mclarens v. Porsche GT cars, cuz you might find your gorgeous 765LT tarred and feathered by the resident Porsche circle jerks here.

Some people shy away from McLarens for various reasons - proximity of dealers, reliability concerns, durability concerns, repair costs, small and sparse owner community, drawing unwanted attention, etc. I was one of those people, but now I have a 570 GT and I subjectively think it's the best car overall that I've driven. I'll only sell it to replace it with another McLaren. My McLaren has about 10k miles on it, 2k of them from my driving, and it has been reliable, no issues. Some people seem to have bad luck with McLaren reliability, but most seem to have good luck. It seems to depend on the specific model, the model year, and how much the car has been driven (more is better).

It's the intangibles that keep bringing me back to GT cars after experiencing something else that is also truly amazing. Some people connect to certain cars more than others, it's natural. That's why I don't understand this debate in here. In many ways the GT3RS is better and in many ways the 750S is better, but one is not overall better than the other.

To me, the 3RS is like a cup car made just livable enough to drive it on the road, a distillation of the 911, and a joy to drive on track.

The 570 GT feels like the British mid-engine supercar that it is.

For me, I think they're both keepers.

Thanks for the reply. Was the 600LT or artura ever in the cards?

It should be a lot better. And it is on the street, and dual use. The 3RS at msrp is a ridiculous value for a track only toy.

I just can’t bring myself to dual use a 3RS with ADM over the 750. Basically the same price at that point, and really compromised on the street as just a car.
