This is a "check out my new ride" thread not what do you think I should buy or keep thread. He is posting a pic b/c he is excited about his new ride only to get a bunch of "members" rain on his parade!

Scott... I was just making fun of all the members who like to be interweb experts and throw in their WORTHLESS comments about what other car the OP should have bought or kept etc etc.

Such a great looking car. Go rack up the miles and drive it like you stole it. Congrats!

HI everyone. Sorry I havent been responding. Just finished up testing the new IndyCar at Texas Motor Speedway and headed home, just catching up here.
Anyway to answer the question, flat out, if you want the best DAILY driving supercar, the McLaren is it. Done. Ive had a 458, had the RS 4.0, been lucky to have a lot of things, this car to me is the most comfortable car to drive everyday. It has quirks about it, as do all cars, but its incredibly comfortable and fun. I must say there are things that bother me, the shifts arent nearly as good as a 458, the traction control is fantastic, but hard to turn it all off as there are always some errors of some sort. However it is FAST as hell. Way faster than a 458. I had a twin turbo 458 and my dad has a yellow stock 458, so Ive driven it both ways and the Mc is way faster. I think the turbo lag is very noticeable which I was surprised about, but that makes it kind of fun. I love the wastegate popping off, love the interior, the steering wheel just kicks ass. People say the car is over complicated, like driving a computer, but the steering wheel and interior feel is just the opposite. The steering wheel has nothing but carbon fiber and paddles! I love that.
The Iris system in the car sucks currently, forget the radio, its non existent. The NAV and bluetooth dont work just yet, but I hear a fix is coming.
Overall I must tell you all that I love this car, absolutely love it. I am 6'2" and its not the easiest thing to get in and out of, but I dont mind. My girlfriend prefers the Carrera GT, but who wouldn't! I would suggest this car to anyone who actually drives their cars. Yes its not as flashy as a 458 or some other things, especially in black, but that kind of adds to the badassness of this car. Its something you can truly enjoy. I must say I just havent read a review of this car I actually agree with, this car is far more capable than any journalist in this world, and thats why they dont like it
