    I think the McLaren's interior is very spartan and boring, and the exterior looks like a large Tesla. Even the British mags say it does not sound as good as a 458 either. If all I cared about was performance, I would just get a PDK turbo S or an Ariel Atom.

    You can't trust the Brits to be neutral. They always have a much higher opinion of their cars than others when compared to other countries' mags and journalists.

    I think you are correct about the improved styling of the 12 C GT3. I bet in the not so distant future, the 12 C will have tuners making styling changes. IMHO the only colors that make the 12C look better are the Fire Black or Carbon Black that de-emphasize the front.

    Could be true, but I think you made this up. Conveniently fits in with your bias.

    The title fight will be Big Mac vs Pagani

    Pagani is the KING as far as I'm concerned

    Finest cars anywhere

    Wow... The drama never ends!! If you can't beat em join em I guess, so here's my 2cents...

    There is 1 thing Ferrari has been and always will worry about and that is F1! How to win the next F1 championship! Yea Mclaren has ALMOST as successful a history BUT, Ferrari still holds the most championships.
    As for the 458, or any other Ferrari production car, I don't think the numbers matter too much to them. Macca may surpass in the numbers and that's because they've had more time and spent it all trying to surpass. Ferrari production cars are about bringing the F1 driving experience to the hands of a average every day Joe driver (that has tons of loot of course) so you don't have to be a professional F1 racer to drive a Ferrari.
    It's like people are thinking that Ferrari couldn't make the fastest road car if they wanted to or something! It's about the Scuderia Ferrari Experience!!
