Awesome!

I am jealous... - 20C here, and 6 inch of snow...

I love the 570, but have heard some war stories from track folks about them. I want to do some more research, but the initial report was not good for durability. If you are simply daily driving, its a great car.

McLaren called me a few months ago for an extended test drive in it and the 650. I honestly prefer the 570, and intend to buy one in a few years. Let me know what you think!

 

Congrats on the McLaren and thanks for sharing your impressions! Any chance of more info/pics on that Lambo in the background?? Love the brashness of the camo haha! I kept threatening to do that to my F430 but never did and eventually parted ways with it.

 

The CEO of my company also bought a 570Gt last month, the same week I picked up my AMG GT.

His biggest complaint is no dead pedal and nowhere to really rest your left foot. He also commented that the brakes take an unusual amount of effort.

 

Very nice

That's the car I originally wanted but was unsure if I could daily drive something that exotic. Moreso the attention, maintenance, reliability than the car's capability as a daily driver.

 

dealer 15 miles away and 3 years warranty no worries
but i daily drive a Range Rover Sport

 

My boss drove his car to the office today. What an amazing car! Congratulations.

I have seen these cars in person before, but I had never spent an hour taking in every last detail. All I am going to say is yes, it's way more exotic than GT/GTS.

He says he really only notices the brake effort when putting it in gear? Other than that he says it's super easy to drive it slow or fast.

 

Check out the McLaren forum--looks like a lot of issues with GT models according to several owners.

Ouch.

 

I sold my GTS and bought a 570s. Loved the GTS but I am planning to order the GTR later this year.

To me, the GTS was a more fun car because of its torque and the way you can throw it around. however, the 570s is very fast and more exotic in general.

After putting 2k miles on my 570s, the main difference between it and the GTS is you start to realize how much of a daily a GTS can be. It's a hassle taking the 570s out because of the ride height, slow reverse gear, poor/slow reverse camera, turn radius when doing all the daily stuff. So if I know I'll be stopping at a lot of places, i would hesitate to drive it..unlike the GTS, i put 12k miles on it in 11 months.

Overall, I love the 570s more. More power, more exotic, more special, and I personally love the connected steering feel. Driving it slow, it is very much like a daily, you forget you're in something spectacular. Also, I read someone mention it doesn't crackle like the Huracan. You can actually get some exhaust pops driving it in Manual especially inthe first/second gear and eliminate the lag as well. I do miss my GTS A LOT. Also, to compare the 570GT vs 570s, I went with the S because why not have the more aggressive car. I really felt the difference on my extended test drives.

 

Thanks for feedback K227 about the daily driving.
No doubt the Mclaren has the super car look
