I agree Benny, the early cars suffered a bit from some electronic niggles, but they have supposedly cleared those faults up. The MP4 was a different drive to the Lambo, I drove one after the MP4. The difference to me was the lambo had a bit of a rush, a bit like the 3200 in midrange, the MP4 was smooth right through the range. Now I know you like the 3200 type rush, but pure power right from zero to top end, has to be good.

I think the major difference between the Ferrari/Lambo against the Mclaren is that you can use the Mclaren everyday.......The other two you would struggle with...Thats what Mclaren wanted a Supercar that was the quickest (which it is)....great handling but a everday proposition for those who wanted it to be.......Now if that makes it a bit more sterile than the others then fine but you can not get away from the fact that the Mclaren is a stunning British achievement and like most British stuff it will never have the passion of the Italains but it will be more reliable and it does what it says on the tin..............It will be better build and last longer.......This car is amazing and we should be proud of it as its from our country...and to be honest there ain't much to be proud of on this little island of ours.......Oh and for me the simple interior in the Mclaren is a far nicer place to be than the over the top glitz of the Ferrari.......Not that I would say no to either.
