Mclaren MP4 Vs. Carerra GT.
I have been going back and forth between these two cars. I have a deposit on a MP4 at the Dallas dealership but I keep debating if I am making the right decision. Which would you pick?
Background: Own a GT3, NSX and a Spec Miata. Live in a small town(so valet parking etc aren't important). I tend to keep my cars for a long time.
They have similar specs are equally fast(the MP4 is probably quicker). Then again the MP4 is a F458 competitor while a Carrera GT is basically a supercar that you need to fear(which is both a positive and a negative). I don't want just garage art but I don't want to take a bit hit on resale either. Maintenance and depreciation is a wash. I.E. MP4 is cheaper to buy and maintain but it will depreciate more than the CGT.
BTW - How do you avoid having the CF resin discolor on the CGT?
Your thoughts?
