Interesting to hear your comment about better turn in than a 650s, as to me front end grip is the limiting factor for 650s track performance.
What tyres were the two on and at what speeds do you mean? I cannot imagine the aero is effective below ~100? And I assume you really mean turn in, and not a quicker rack ratio. My interest is because I am working on mods to improve front end grip for my 650.
my understanding is rack ratio similar to 650 but the steering mechanism is the one out of the P1 (less connections more exotic materials) one can certainly feel a lot more.and the car does move around quite a bit on b roads.steering very busy.What tyres were the two on and at what speeds do you mean?

both cars were running on P zeros.
Personally I felt improved turn in at most speeds to be honest; but cant give you an engineering or aero explanation.
Just feels like you need less trail brake prior to turn in as required to get the nose in on 650!
Think to get the full experience you have to use Trofeo R tyres, don't see why you couldn't try these on 650?
will post a pictures of T's & P's during last weeks 35 degree afternoon drive; The zero's are not going to last long.

Obvious troll is obvious.
That was in reply to some idiot suggesting it was worth £150k.I've congratulated OP on a stunning purchase and protested against the trolling FFS
I'm after a 675LT myself
Easy to quote without context and the trolls are easily identifiable on this thread

Indeed stickier tyres help overall but I want to change the balance to indeed be less trail brake-dependent (when the rear wing comes up it reverses the benefit of getting the weight forward) and to tweak with throttle-on oversteer. I suspect the slightly wider track on the 675 helps.both cars were running on P zeros.

First place to start is a set of Thorney 12mm spacers that will give you equal track width to 675LT. Probably best £500 you could spend to improve handlingWhat tyres were the two on and at what speeds do you mean? I cannot imagine the aero is effective below ~100?

Look like the right hub centric ones and should do the job nicely. Considerably cheaper than the Thorney equivalentshttps://www.exoticcargear.com/product/mclaren-15mm...
Are you importing them or are you based states side
I don’t normally like white cars but that is absolutely stunning. I did see a LT recently and it sounded demonic!
The interior is fantastic too.
I know it’s vulgar to ask what you paid, but can I ask what was spent with MSO originally, or on extras if you like, the spec’ seems as though a fair few boxes were ticked.
I’d love a 650 (675 LT well out of my budget), maybe when my house renovation is completed.

This car is amazing. It does everything they promised and more.

I’m sure we will be chatting soon, you’ve already had the invitation.

William,RSTturbo,650sp and IMI,
Guys,thanks for your support,but quite honestly I couldn't care less what certain people think or type.
we all meet these sorts in life, its some form of inadequacy or something lacking, They best ignored.
Anyway the car looks and feels awesome, a totally visceral experience.
If this sort of thing floats yur boat, Id'd highly recommend people try one.

After my 570s TP I looked at a few 675LT’s and they are particularly for track use almost in a league of their own.
For those that take the time to look at their lineage and at their build quality know, so congratulations on purchasing a fantastic car.
Some of these negative posts are as always from trolls who will never own anything remotely close to a Supercar but bore us with their useless opinions, we know who you are !!
In any event I bought a high spec 720s but it will never hold the same allure of a 675LT

The 675 steering rack is slightly quicker than P1 from memory. Link below is very interesting and full of detail:

Regards improving 650 front end my simple understanding would be: tyres, correct geo, install spacers, and driver training
