So, is it faster than a Noble
Discussion
Hi all, a newbie to the Mclaren having come from a highly tuned Noble 3R.
The answer is yes, it feels faster and the pickup is much quicker. Only trouble is inmiss all the pops on the overrun and whooshes from the dump valve.
The quality for a low volume manufacturer is incredible and is light years ahead of my lovely old Noble.
Still in honeymoon stage and loving it. It had almost 29k of extras and such a classic Mclaren understated colour!!!!

Out of interest, what have you decided re the front plate - better on or off?
Hey Paul - that really is lovely - superb colour choice 
A natural upgrade from your lovely old Nob! I remember our runs out over the Devon hills, me in the GT3 watching your rear end disappear into the distance
Hope the weather clears up soon for you, so you can get her out of the garage and on to the road!

Ever since in was a kid with the Lamborghini Countach poster on my wall, I've always wanted a sports car with "lambo style" doors and now i have them!!
Its a great bit of kit, very different to what i've been used to.
