    Wow thank you!
    Stick a fork in me….I’m done
    But I’m going to cross you off the list for advice on waxing cars LOL
    Something tells me you understand and appreciate all of the work and fun that creates normal surface cracks on rotors too :)

    Just look at these beautiful MC20 undercarriage, aerodynamic, carbon fiber tub, brake and suspension photos :) And there’s a lot of suspension travel too!

    The flux capacitators of course;-)

    More seriously very happy to hear there is a lot of suspension travel; too many supercars have gone the wrong way in the last twenty years with barely any plus ridiculous low profile tires, hence a lot of Lambos etc crashing as soon as they hit a bump or pothole under load.

    When a certain Michael Schumacher spent some time advising on road car setup during his Ferrari years the Most important thing he recommended was that when a car is set up in sport mode you should still have the option to keep the suspension on a soft setting. The real world of twisty hill roads is not smooth like a track.

    His ex wife, no not the Ferrari, shows up a local cars & coffee events in NJ. She's either married or cohabitating with someone I know. Very nice folks. I see them once in a while.

    They almost look like cambelt sprockets but they're too rounded and I beleive this is a chain drive engine. It better be.

    Nice. Mc20 is definitely very easy to drive and is quite a capable car in all different driving modes.

    convinced a friend to test drive one, he owns a large amount of supercars and has driven absolutely everything

    he was blown away by the mc20 and ordered one immediately :)

    A brand new state of the art frame versus the evolution of an 84 year old chassis born as the VW Beetle and very slowly, very mildly evolved as the most overrated car of all time.

    The Stuttgart piggie known initially as the 901... until Peugeot's lawyers informed the little company called Porsche that they owned the rights to all triple digit numbers with a zero in the middle...so that thingie became known as the nine one one... with the engine STILL hanging behind the rear wheels till today! A complete engineering aberration.

    An engineering aberration it may be- but having owned a '71 911 (sold when I purchased the Mexico), I am nevertheless happy to say that it was an absolutely fantastic car to drive- light, nimble and such a lovely feeling to the steering and brakes, you really felt a direct connection to the road when driving it. Very happy to be back in a vintage Maserati, but I certainly don't feel any negativity to classic 911's!

    Seems that you never really drove a 911. All manufacturers of sports GT-cars have one goal: to beat the Porsche 911! Only few made it but need much more engineering efforts and sources. Every test driver of car magazines love to drive the 911. And what you then also mentioned (Peugot) is already known and completely...non-important!

    I drove several including traveling alone two days hundreds of miles in a client's very special 993 thank you very much but still don't like them and that is my right. End of story.

    To get back on topic I am curious what order delays there are now in Europe between signing and obtaining an MC20.
