Interesting, tho selective filtering via speakers is IMO no better than playing the complement through the speakers -> synthetic sound.

The Mac is 'cheap' for a reason, same reason a 6 year old 7 series BMW is 'cheap'. I've seen a couple McLarens owned by friends and they spent more time in the shop than on the road, and the closest...

Pretty sure 3RS isn't available yet. 4RS is going to be peak Cayman for at least a decade, but is about as unobtainium as a Z07. Not direct competitors, but will be interesting to see what they have...

You won't be disappointed, I wasn't. I can also attest to how it responds to a good exhaust, a good alignment, and adding monoballs and solid bushings. So far, bulletproof reliable when tracked, and...

Also strut suspension vs multilink & double wishbone, and 3RS aero is active. Benefits of 4RS IMO are size (for driving experience, not necessarily good for lap times) and mid engine. I'd give my...

A lot of hate directed at tracks ITT. In almost all cases, it should instead be directed at the Karens who moved next to a (pre existing) race track and then complained about the noise.

I'd notice the ability to include an improved diffuser, high exhaust outlets, and engine heat extraction vents. Could prob produce the downforce of Z07 without wing and much more efficiently.

Guys speccing a track car typically aren't going for CCBs and CF wheels. Though the aftermarket brakes and wheels they install will likely be substantially lighter than OEM irons and wheels.
