Congrats! I was looking at ordering a GT when they came out a couple of years back. Chase had recently become the captive lender for McLaren after their split with Ally.
who did you finance the GT with? Mind providing some datapoints? (Lender, FICO, buerau, down payment and payment / term?)
Starting Score: 529
Nice fast cars! I had a BMW M5 that was nothing but trouble; it spent more time in the shop than on the road! My last BMW (a 340i) was bought back by BMW under California's Lemon Law. I hope your experience is better than mine!
But I have to say, if you really want a hot car, you'll give up those coal-burners and get an electric vehicle. My 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition will beat both the M5 and the McLaren off the line! (Of course, you'll catch me in the first mile, but it would be a fun race). Electric is not only essentially maintenance-free, but electrons are cheaper than gasoline and instant torque makes them hard to beat!
Creditplz, I couldn't agree more with your stance. I think the EV cars are soulless shapeless bubbles. They don't make cool sounds, they don't make cool smells (have you ever smelled the exhaust of a mid-90s Ferrari?).
It's like driving around a MacBook Pro.
Like you, I also understand that they may do away with ICE powered vehicles someday: but until that day, someone has to drive the cool ones, and that someone is gonna be ME.

Laugh at EVs all you want! ICE cars are like horses: In the 19th century, we used them for transportation; now we use them solely for sport and recreation. In the 20th century, we all drove ICE cars for transportation. Soon they will be relegated solely to sport and recreation!
I charge my EVs via my solar array and can't remember the last time I paid for gasoline. You guys in your hot dinosaur cars must have a significant monthly gasoline budget!
