Fantastic car - actually fantastic Cars - to my taste clearly above Ferrari or even Lambo....kiss

I took my 675 LT for a blast around some country roads yesterday, and I have to assert again that this is without doubt the best driver's car out there right now. The acceleration is jaw dropping, and the combination of steering feel, precision and response really engenders a huge amount of confidence in every manoeuvre. I still think the Ferrari gearbox is better though, and strangely I find the Lamborghini brakes have more bite.

The 675LT does drive very differently than the 650s, I assume?

For example, the 650s steering has this strange "stickiness" around its neutral position that feels a bit weird (PZero tires). Also, the suspension in normal mode is kind of soft, resulting in uncontrolled body movements and lack of driver's confidence (at least in my case). In comparison the Porsches feel smooth, kind of heavy in a positive sense and precise.  In summary, the suspension/setup of Porsche seems more convincing to me.

Brake feel and interaction of engine/gearbox is also super refined with the Porsches. The McLaren gearbox does not so well anticipate the driver's intentions, I thought.
