650S or GT

I know what GT means, but I dont feel like these cars are that far apart to drive. GT is a bit tamed - I'm curious what other peoples thoughts are, and if anyone has owned both, which one they prefer. Figure a GT with an exhaust and nice wing would look and sound pretty similar but getting a 8 year newer car? Thoughts.
Context, not a daily driver, but canyon driving every few weekends.

Really dumb question and I’ve asked this before about convertibles. I’m still in the market for 720S; a lot of Performance cars are popping up. Is this the same or look as a spider? I guess I’m asking for someone who has experience with owning one of these two cars. Spider/Performance

Can anyone help me find a certain photo of the McLaren F1 Chassis #040? Also known as the “Flemke” chassis.

Hey everyone,

I was looking for a picture of the F1 chassis #040, also known as the “Flemke” car which was his F1 being photographed at a McDonalds drive through. I heard the image was featured in a Car magazine UK Dec 2005 issue under the “reader’s camera” section or something?

The image is really funny imo, and I’m not sure how I last found it or if it’s somewhere in the long Flemke F1 Pistonheads thread. Thanks in advance

Purge valve problem

Hey guys I had a check engine light on my 570s so I took it to McLaren in Titusville, Fl. They’re telling me that the cost without warranty is 2800 dollars. I looked online and found that it shouldn’t break 500 including labor. Do you guys think I’m getting ripped off? They’re also charging me 3k because the lumbar adjustment on my drivers seat is not working. I would greatly appreciate the communities input! Thanks

How much is a 570s depreciating per year?

I enjoy the 570s and wondering what the price might be in a few years. I understand miles is a big part so average miles would be fine.

Questions regarding 650s

Hello, I will be moving to Romania in a few months, and have my eyes on a 650s. However, McLaren’s are not really in my knowledge. I have some questions regarding the car and the service:

  1. I plan to use it as a daily and on trips, since I will be travelling between my home country and Romania (approx. 2300km per trip). Is the 650s a comfortable car for such trips?

  2. What should I check during the buying process?

  3. What can I fit on the luggage compartment? To be specific, the car is the spider version.

  4. For any members in Romania, especially in Bucharest, is there a certified service for maintenances? If not, how can I handle regular maintenances across EU?

  5. What is the approximate cost of the car per month as a daily, if any users here?

Thanks in advance.

Blurry photo but is this an Elva?

I have a really blurry photo but is this the same type of McLaren, I saw it on the block my parents live on in the Palisades. The two people in the car had paint matched helmets.
