The Mclaren is my favorite. Not really sure why, it just is.

^^^^ LOL, actually MP4-12C. Yeah, it's too much since ALL the current Macca's (F1 car's included) will be MP4 dash SOMETHING. I just call it the 12C.

Nobody is saying this, but do any of you think some of this has more to do to the fact that the 458 is Normally Aspirated vs. the MP4 being Turbocharged?

The next "Enzo" and the next "McLaren F1" are both rumored to be turbo'd. I wonder if this will help or hinder the overall package(s)?

I respect and admire the MP4 and all of McLaren's efforts... and I think in time they will refine and hone true contenders. I haven't experienced a McLaren but the 458 is one of the most complete and amazing cars I have ever driven. Regardless of the test track numbers.
