No, I live to far from the dealer. Not buying a new McLarens any time soon.
Your results are anecdotal. His Spider weighs more and slightly worse drag and maybe has worn tires or a worse road, etc.
My "result" was a real life result on the Autobahn, not a drag strip. I know that McLarens are beasts at speeds over 160 kph but the 570S is an entry level model and the performance just doesn't add up. I do not share any suspicion that McLaren is cheating but I also doubt that the 570S achieving the performance it achieved had 570 hp only. Like I said, no problem if customer cars get the same power.
Worse road? We were on a German Autobahn (A8). You should see how the R8 destroys the Carrera GT on the Autobahn. No surprise here though.
Good 12C/570S trap speed is 134-135mph.
Good 650S trap speed is 137+
Good 675LT trap speed is 139+
We don't do drag racing in Germany (only a few car nuts), we have the Autobahn.
