Thoughts on a MP4 over 650S

Just wanna know you guys thoughts. Price on MP4's seems to be declining heavily and worth the coin at the moment.

MP4, as in a McLaren F1 car?

IMHO you will not miss much in terms of daily driving on public roads by going with a 12C over a 650S. For the price differential, I would buy a 12C and be happy all day long. The 650S interior is a bit different, and you might enjoy the extra 57 (!) lb-ft of torque that the 650S offers, but I personally would not be able to overcome the price difference to justify a new 650S.

And that's were I'm stuck at. Price point of the difference, is it really worth the coin for the 650S? I'm thinking not.

Actually, the 650S interior is identical to the 12C.

I drove both extensively before choosing the 12C. The 650S is 5% better in every way - the price is 120k higher. Take the 12C all day long. Best money for performance in a street car right now. My only complaint with the 12C is brakes. The 650S ceramics are fantastic.
