I would take it too. I really like the Mclaren, but the 2RS is just amazing.

For some reason the Mclaren just doesn't do it for me. 2 RS hands down but between the Mclaren and 458 I would pick the 458 all day.

Thank you DJ.
the handling of the GT2RS is shocking!


By the way, is there a test comparing the 4.0L GT3RS vs GT2RS?

having only seen the 458 in real life (among these 3 cars), that would be my choice

I feel like the gt2 would pull on the others given more time, lighter weight and more power

The Mclaren is amazing,drove it (very) hard on the autobahn yesterday and the car drives unlike any other car,drove the 458 and imo the mclaren is totally superior overall package,haven't driven the gt2rs but from my experience with other performance Porsches - not on the same level...

Wow, the car looks great in white with gun metal wheels. Very interesting that you found the McLaren to be superior to the 458. Although on the Autobahn it makes sense, journalists can't seem to praise the car enough for its comfortable ride.
