296 Owner reviews?

I would love to hear your review once you get your gts. I'm a convertible guy, I got the gtb at the moment, great car but I think topless will make it (a lot?) more fun to drive.

 

Completely agree with your assessment. First time I think a car is too fast, the 296, 2 seconds later it's all over even on empty highways, or risk going immediately to jail. Never need any more speed. Gas mileage is WAY better than my mclaren 12c.
I'm not yet completely sold on how thrilling the 296 is to drive. It's almost too good and efficient that it feels a bit less sense of danger?
What was your take on the 750s? I will get a lot of track seat time in it next month, I hope I walk away knowing that I bought the right car (296) instead of having to get 2 mclarens...

 

I've had my 296 GTB for a month now. I've run it in carefully. Last weekend, I was able to take it for a spin on the German Autobahn. The speedometer read 360.
TOP.

Next week, I'll take both cars for a spin on the Nordschleife. I'm curious to see how it performs. I'll report back.
The Nordschleife and Spa-Francorchamps are my favorite tracks. Zandvoort is also great, but we brake closer.

@Morgan911 how it went?

 

223 mph!!

 

I took delivery this past summer. Fantastic car. Quick, as fast as my SF90 better sounding and much more nimble. Mine is an AF package. I will trade it for the Speciale in 18 months.i have road tripped in it and although suspension is stiffer its VERY livable. Much faster than my F8 and better sounding. I have a 458 with Iconel exhaust...hard to beat that sound but really like the 296 sound. Its different. I also have a Turbo S (992) and it is hands down better sounding.

 

Remember, everyone complained about all the features being on the steering wheel, such as the signal indicators, etc. way Bach when. All of those people out driving around genius arrangement.

 

I have a 750s spider and it’s probably the best car McLaren will ever make. I’m not averse to hybrids as I picked up a g90 m5 but McLaren is well known for their problems in the artura. That said the 750s suspension is really on another level. Almost has good as the Porsche gt3rs if not better in some aspects and the steering feel on the McLaren is better. This is been oft repeated by all my friends who have driven my cars even a kinematics engineer for a car company.
After they drive both back to back the million dollar question is which would you pick if it was your money and it’s the 296 every time. The powertrain on the 296 is instant and addictive. I’m not saying the 296 handles poorly or has no steering feel only that there are some subtle differences on my non AF car.

I still enjoy my 750 and right now the plan is to keep both pending what my dealer says about getting a speciale

 

Mc has investment $ and plans for sustained sports car growth. No reason to doubt the replacement will be better like it has been from 12C on.
