997 Turbo S vs McLaren MP4-12C
#11
Great car, drives great, reliability not really proven yet, still too flashy to daily drive though. A Turbo S can be your only car, whereas the McLaren would likely need to be your 2nd car, occasionally used unless you live / work in a high profile area or anywhere in Dubai lol.

I guess I shouldn't say reliability, perhaps durability is a better suited word. I've been hearing some complaints (although the dealer resolves them very quickly) of quality control issues that are to be expected on the first car the a company ever builds. Things like little squeaks and rattles, fuel filler cap issues, etc.

It is my impression that the MP's super smooth and comfortable ride made it feel no faster than the 458 or TTS. I tracked them in the same day and even though I know the MP is the fastest it felt the opposite. The instructors said the MP is a dangerous car since you are going much faster than you feel you are, and usually they enter the corners faster than then think. Its like my GT2 feels much faster than my friends TTS, but when we race we are even. The TTS suspension and chasis hide the feeling of speed more than the GT2.
Do you have this feeling also?

The 458 feels like a toy on the turns, you actually feel the car losing control, that "close to the edge" feeling that the mclaren will NOT give you. Car is too perfect, the traction control is so good that you have to actually be an idiot to crash the mclaren, but still, the mp4 may be dead fast, faster than any road car at the moment in its segment, they lack "fun". even with the traction off the car still feels easy to control.
