He must have been modded - bc the car was super loud and sounded insane. of course I lost the video i made.... grrrr.

Still - my car is slower now (but more reliable) with the 1.15bar tune (CA91)

60lbs and a Marksi flash sound like the ticket, plus a lightly used maser conv @105k.

This board rocks!

i prefer the coupe ( always ) to the cabs but to my eye, it's going to be a long long time before this car looks "dated".. to me. http://www.iveho.com/wp-content/uplo.../P10100172.jpg

my buddy has the coupe. it's better lookin.. but 100k is about right.. his is a "10 MY. i'd give them a very serious look. it has it all, methinks.

yankee's don't know what a mclaren is... in europe people watch f1 so at least there is some brand recognition.

I think it's normal, we all go through this.. We want newer, "better", faster, more exotic, this and that…

Well i've been on the other side, the italian side with a 430 spider… Let's just say, my ownership wasn't the best, and I felt like a poser.. yes I should've gotten a scud, but with the florida weather it seemed logical..

Anyway, all I have to say is, OVERRATED. Lambo too, unless it's an aventador, that car really is sick… But anyway, I hop into my ancient RUF GT2 and it moves me in a way that no other exotic thus far has made me feel purely based on the drive.

It's a tough decision. best of luck

I went through this a few years ago and the board along with VID997 convinced me to keep and put a few bucks into it. I then had it better prepped for track days. Still room for improvement and challenges. Adding power would be a lot of fun but waiting for clutch to go south first. MP4... Mmm that would be sweet!
