MC20 Made the Move
Discussion
I was recently shopping another car - Huracans, Romas, 488s, but moved onto an MC20 to keep my Aston Martin DB11 V12 company. I struggled with the V6 part. I like more cylinders like V10s, V12s, W12s, etc.
And, not that straight line speeds are important to my buying decisions as I am mainly in for the GT part, it turns out this little V6 can really put out if you want it to. The MC20 V6 HP rating is 621; my Aston V12 is 631. The 0-60 times for the DB11 is 3.4, and the MC20 is 2.9, a match to the overrated Corvette C8.
We will see how this goes, but so far, after a few hundred miles it's a thumbs up!

Thank you all for the nice comments. Love the car so far.
In a very safe place in Florida and very early where there is no traffic, I took an extremely long entrance ramp to the I 75. Out of the last curve before the straight onto the expressway I was 60mph (30mph curve), then up to 128mph as I hit the 70mph expressway then on to the brakes to get the 70mph speed match.
So far, the performance is better than I imagined from a V6.

I put my car in a large Cars and Coffee in Florida. The next day I was perusing another car forum and found someone posted a pic of my car. The poster, a Maserati owner too, recognized there was something different about the paint and he commented about it.
My car has a Fuoriserie paint option AI Aqua Rainbow which is a color changing paint. When the sun or bright light hits it, rainbow colors appear out of the blue.
