[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 16200918, member: 7047"] It would be absolutely absurd to compare this to a McLaren straight up. That's why I said "Poor Man's McLaren" because this thing will be the closest you can get for under 100K sticker price. I think the 720S is probably the best overall value performance car period, despite the 300K pricetag. It nips at the heels of 1M hypercars. Back when I had my 2014 Shelby and I went down to Mexico for some early AM high-speed runs I shifted from 4th to 5th at 6500 and just depressing the clutch at 160-ish on sectioned concrete was a harrowing experience. A perfectly smooth road or runway no big deal but sectioned concrete was scary. So there are certainly a number of advantages to the DCT with its barely perceptible shifts and corresponding near-continuous power delivery. Watching the Dragtimes Ford GT and McLaren racing videos online where those cars have no trouble beating higher horsepower vehicles with traditional autos or manuals is a real eye-opener. [/QUOTE]
