schmoell:There was one in Mugello, not beautiful (I'd prefer the Club Sport) but with a big presence and very very fast
I love these things, especially with the liveries on. That Mentos one is really cool for example.

Gnil:+ 1. Love it.
when we were at Mugello there was a CS practicing with the Cup cars. On the straight it passed the cups very easily. Buy then in the curbs it had no chance. Was way too heavy.
As a concept I don't get it. For that cash you can get a GT3 R and run circles around it, and compete, and it looks better still..

Yes, the 720S is still the benchmark when it comes to your sports car bang for the buck. 👍😎

McLaren Munich was so kind to offer me a taxi ride in a 720S on Trofeo Rs with a pro driver (who could be my son). What an amazing car I must say. On the straight it was significantly faster than my Turbo S, and it took corners like nothing although it was slightly wet. Despite all of its power traction is astounding. From my limited experience it also seems that the 720S is quite a robust car, even when driven hard on a track.

Speaking of McLaren: Are you going to be at the McLaren meeting point or are you driving directly to the event in F.?

schmoell:We (my son and myself) will start the day at McLaren in Munich. What are your plans ?
Same plan here. Weather seems to be exceptionally good that day.

schmoell:Wonderful ! Looking forward to meet you and the Performante . I guess that you'll need 30min to get there on an early Sunday morning :)
My son is with me as well, so I guess I am going to keep it calm.
Looking forward to meet you as well, it is always nice to put a face on a user name.

More track action for the Senna this weekend at a very wet Silverstone. Had to change the Trofeo Rs to P Zeros and the car is not in Race mode so riding a little high compared to the Spa photos from earlier this year. Things dried out in the afternoon but still pretty slippy. Enjoy...
Thanks for sharing. Saw the Senna live at McLaren Munich last Sunday, it looks amazing.

BiTurbo:Cali
When I saw the video a while ago, it reminded me of Germany. Same thing here: Even if the car is stock, you get fined if the police says you were too loud. This is called unnötige Lärm- & Abgasbelästigung in Germany, meaning unnecessary noise and emissions annoyance. Fine is 10 EUR. Sometimes it can be more if the police officer adds additional stuff to it.
This is one reason I would not tune any of my cars anymore. With tuned cars, even if the tuned exhaust is in the car documents, they can confiscate the car on the spot for various reasons. With completely OEM cars, this is more difficult, basically impossible (for a loud exhaust only). They can force you to have it checked at a local "TÜV" rep though or in some parts, the police has their own mechanic who can check on stuff like that, meaning you have to follow them to that mechanic.
So this is not only a problem in California but many other locations on this planet as well and it gets worse.

Gercollector still doesn't have his car back, no timeline, maybe this summer. He got a 600LT as a loaner (I guess McLaren wants to keep him happy) but he is not pleased with the whole situation.
