    No surprise. I have placed a call to my "local" McLaren dealer.

    I have received the deposit paperwork from McLaren Philly this afternoon. Apparently, McLaren had already reserved me a slot in the first allocation based on my many communications with them since the cars announcement back in 2010. I have an October 2011 build/delivery date. They get 24 in 2011 and they service a huge area....from NJ all the way down to South Carolina.

    Won't spec it for awhile yet, but pretty excited about this car.

    Fasthound, I'm overwhelmed & beyond appreciative of the added links. And I'm also in awe of your potential acquisition, congratz! I bet Ferrari of Washington is disappointed in your decision... :D

    I hope to also be in the position to get one, hopefully sooner-than-later. Till then, I'll live vicariously. . .

    Nice car.

    I have no idea why they copied the exhaust note of a Chevy S-10, though.
