Came in last night. Thanks to Chad of Mclaren of Philadelphia.

When I get some miles in I will try to compare to 458 and Ford GTs

Looks great and congratulation.

Looking forward to reading the comparison.

Welcome aboard,also looking forward to your opinion

Ford GT will surely be more violent but the mc is fun to play with. Hope you'll have less issues than I had

458 owner here dipping my toes in the water about buying a 12C spider. Would love to hear your impressions vs. the 458

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 !!

Congratulations. Car looks superb. Not so sure about some of the crowd gathering round it though. In the words of Sean Ryder; Call the cops!

Perfect colour. The car.

Wasnt yours the multi coloured version RIC?? what do you say Robbie?

 

[roundincircles]

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.

Man you have TWO GTs.......the HERITAGE TO BOOT. I'm jealous

Congrats! I got my spider from Chad. Iit was a real pleasure to deal with Philly. I have driven mine with the top down while it was 45 degrees without discomfort. They've done a great job with this car in every way, no real flaws.

 

[Sal]

Two thumbs up to Chad & Kevin at McLaren Philly. Great guys to work with.

458 and Mac

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!

 

[Belg]

Those GT's are sooooooooo sexy. mmmm.
