I doubt you're going to bore anyone here, with a few obvious exceptions, talking about McLarens.

 

What’s the car with the wing in the driveway pic?

 

My R8 mate.

 

I’m glad you mentioned the carwow video as I’m sure it put a lot of potential owners off, as well as myself

beautiful spec, I wasn’t a fan of the front end of the 750, but the way you have it set up works

 

Yeah man...I was shopping 765's for a year, couldn't find the near perfect spec for me for that kind of money. So I 'settled' for the 750 in the near exact spec I wanted sans the wheels. I hear you on the front end in comparison to the 765 & 720, but it's grown on me and if they release that new 750LM front clip, then that's a swap I'll do. I drive my cars way too many miles a year and would have depreciated a 765 20-30% over two years. I made the right choice, but I love me some 765.

Side note: your Snake is the exact spec I always wanted, never took the leap though. Best buddy has a low mile 2001 GTS, always been a fan.

 

Beautiful car and the white is stunning on the 750, congrats!

 

Awesome spec. What color white is that?

 

I think it should be a rule to always post the colour with the picture.

 

Wow @GhostD that's a lotta carbon fiber on that car! Beautiful spec. Enjoy it.

 

Thanks man! And I know, right? Original owner nearly maxed out the CF options...only to sell it with 2500mi in less than a year, crazy IMHO. If he paid close to MRSP, he sure took a bit of a bath with so few miles of smiles in return.

 

I just got my 750S a little over 3 weeks ago at 2600 miles and have already put 1600 miles on it. Did a 800 my round trip with my wife for a trip recently and it performed flawlessly.

I agree with you the 750S is absolutely incredible and I love it in a way I did not feel with my 650S of 4 years (still a great car the 750S is just so much more) I test drove a 720S 2 years ago and it didn't convince me to trade out. The 750S made enough improvements that I had to have one and I agree too with the carwow putting people off it's not a great representation of the car.

You can drive the car in full comfort modes as an automatic for a long road trip and it's great then when on back roads or streets have it in manual mode track/sport settings and get the pops and burbles very exciting car and explosive fast with the short gearing on the street. The dual nature of the car in stock form is great. Feels better than my tuned 650S did and trans shifts instantly also i actually use the front lift since it doesnt take forever. The entertainment system is worlds better too in sound and functionality. It's great not having to physically use my phone. I personally use a piggy back device to enable android auto and it works great plug n play does it through the apple car play mode.

A 765LT does run through my head as a potential down the road upgrade, I just feel I'll lose some of the things I love about the 750S although I'll also gain in other aspects. I'll have to test drive one and see.

Beautiful car man just wanted to echo the sentiment. If anyone is on the fence just do it you will not regret it.

 

I echo everything you said. All great points. This is my first McLaren, so I have no previous model to truly and fairly compare it to so comparing your 4-year tenure with your tuned 650S and the test of the 720 speaks volumes. Happy to hear you're just as delighted as I am. Cheers and continued redline shifts mate!

 

It's astonishing to me that people think Carwow is anything other than a complete joke! lol.

 

There's some value in Matt's videos IMHO. It's not like the videos are completely void of any tangible data. How about the P1 vs the 750 video? Were you not entertained even in the slightest?

 

I find Sarah N Tuned to be quite good. Very technical and funny. Breath of fresh air from most of the reviewers.
