Both the McLaren 570 and 720 fit this description.
And my offer remains open to Ford GT owners: meet me at Laguna Seca, I'll bring my 675LT, and we'll see what's what.
Two more excellent reasons to hate Treynor
- Thread starter treynor
- Start date

Well the argument is moot, they sold all the ones the are going to make so Ford got their buyers. No one could buy one if they wanted to at this point.
I'm curious to see how well they will hold their value. Will the previous Ford GT's raise in value because they are the only V8 model out? Interesting things to watch.
......I too would buy an Aventador though, over the new GT, for that kind of money. If I were Treynor, I would have both. lol
I guess I didn't realize the 570 was that "cheap." I was thinking the entry price for carbon fiber chassis was in the 350-ish range.
One question is whether Ferrari will stick with an aluminum chassis for the 488's replacement, or switch to a C/F tub. For coupes it's not a huge deal, but for convertibles there's a massive difference in chassis stiffness between the two. Both the 675LT Spider and the LaF Aperta drive identically to their hardtop cousins, which isn't true of the AL cars.
SHOTS FIRED!!!
I would say get it on film, but I don't think that needs to be said, ha.
Pay per view event?
Norcal tracks > Socal tracks, maybe even millers if they are racing in the west coast.
My vote is either Sonoma or Laguna.
I'd say willow springs, or even buttonwillow. Willow Springs is in all the car comparison videos so we can see how both cars perform compared to what us muggles can buy. Both tracks are also very local to me lol.
Several people with new GT have already stated they will be in town for the Pebble Beach Concourse mid aug this year...
Ben... I think I talked to you awhile back about buying a 360 Modena. I talked with my wife about for about a year... drover her nuts.
At the track last weekend, I saw a really nice 360. It had some added aero stuff, race seats, etc... and I came home talking about it again. I got some extra cash from a contract performance bonus and told her I was going to get one this month.
I got home from work yesterday, and my wife said "I hope you don't mind. I used some of the bonus money to buy you a car you have wanted for awhile." She pointed a my desk and this was in front of my monitor...

How does it handle in the corners? =D
Hey at least it won't take long to detail that Modena. 
I'm guessing the answer was no.
She wants the house paid off first. Seems like a reasonable expectation. LOL

That's a smart move. Take it from me - the thrill of a new car fades quickly. The peace of mind of having a solid financial footing lasts and lasts and lasts...
