I've been in love with the MP4 for quite a while now. In part 1, I went for an amazing ride.

Now I've been lucky enough to get the keys and to experience DRIVING the MP4 myself.,,,,,I've always wanted to experience being in a F-18 Hornet being shot down the runway off an aircraft carrier and when I give the MP4 gas that is what I would imagine it would be. I've always read and heard how fast this thing is but nothing could have prepared me for this. I really thought I was going to go back to the future when accelerating. And after I left off the gas I had the same expression Matt Farah did after he did his first blast in the Venom GT.
(Fast forward to 4:40 if you forgot)

The Mclaren was set in "sport" mode for both settings and I didn't change the settings nor did I need to. This thing was everything I imagine it would have been and more. It rides so comfortable, no rattles or squeaks. It sounds amazing, yeah its no 458 but WHO CARES. Driving on the highway you would think you were driving a Veyron, the amount of attention this thing gets is funny. Every single car that drove by looked out the window in aw like they were seeing a human walk on water. I thought the Gallardo spider I rented got alot of attention, that couldn't hold a candle to this.
The ONLY few things I could find wrong was 1. The brakes, I couldn't get use them. 2. The paddle shifts were heavy and you would really have to pull on them to change gears. 3. I can't afford one
I have been very lucky enough to have driven many cars, but this IMO is in its own league. Now to go play the powerball.
