We are a bit bias on here
,but the 12c spider is in a different leauge,even though i say so myself its one up on the coupe,all the advantages but with a bit extra sound and the advantage of a droptop without any of the drawbacks you get on your metal framed supercars.The gap between this and a 458 spider is now very tangible !!

Look, my car is so fast no one notices the 5 , or is it now 6, slight variations in colour. To be fair, Mclaren did repaint the poor first colour mis-matches but those with artistic supercar eyes 'may' notice some variation. At least there are no Damian Hurst paint runs or Volcano Orange Peel
In just a week of driving vs a year of driving 458 I would say:
1. Better interior ergonomics -- Mac by far
2. Better looking /refined interior -- slight edge 458
3. Like larger paddles on 458
4. Shifts seem a tad quicker in 458
5. Mac feels definetly quicker / faster
6. Sound system-- premium in both cars. A draw --neither that exciting IMO
7. Exhaust -I have 2013 with sport and very pleasantly surprised . 458 louder, Mac deeper
Close but I actually go with Mac
8. Exterior-- I have a real hard time here. Paint better on Mac. I just DO NOT get the folks who say design is boring. I think Mac more radical, 458 more elegent . Tie
9 gawk factor -- even. Folks love any F car, but are totally intrigued by Mac
10. Car I most want to drive on nice day---- either of my Ford GTs .A true drivers car. They threw out the mold with that one.

Very nice garage, thanks for sharing pics. Those Ford GTs are stunning. You must have more pics of the two of them together (the Fords); please share when you get a chance, especially since it is your thread!
