So @alias23 - when will be the big reveal? We're all keen to see what you have moved on to.

I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Lol. I never was the sharpest tool in the bag!

Do you plan to use it a lot on track ? Is the running cost comparable to a Porsche GT3 on track ? Does it have known issues under hard usage ?

More expensive particularly the brakes which can cause a heavy cost if the rotors go

Nah, it's the £3 per cup of coffee at the track cafe's that'll break his bank for sure.

 

Love that 600LT.  Great choice and wish you lots of happy times in it.

Best macca of the range, only downside is the soundtrack but the car is truly amazing - very well done!

I was worried about the soundtrack of the exhaust as many said it was quite muted... however I've been quite impressed, maybe its the noise/vibrations that enhance the 'feel', for sure the exhaust is not a complaint for me.... albeit I can see a better design to remove valves from the cat back ;)

YES - I will be using for track although due to new job and other priorities I won't be doing the same volume of track days as I did in the Lotus. The big costs are tyres and as @Tex has commented brakes.

Theres very little I can do ref tyres, tyre costs will be a lot higher than the Lotus, although slightly cheaper than the Porsche variant. 

The BIG cost is the brakes with pads costing around £1,300 and discs around £12K. This is a problem, and one in which I feel is stopping more 600LT owners getting on track. So I've already started plans to create a ceramic to iron rotor conversion which should provide owners a wider choice of disc/pad options (vs locked in) and lower cost of ownership.

I've literally just ordered all the parts I've sized for the conversion and hope to realise a solution in the next 8-12 weeks :)

Indeed, it seems to be urgent to build or find iron rotors... A lot cheaper, at least in the USA : https://soulpp.com/product/mclaren-600lt-720s-girodisc-iron-rotor-conversion/

 

it looks like the 540C is a "bargain" now to enter the McLaren world. Not as fast and exclusive as a 600LT, but it must be fantastic with more reasonable running costs (and even more for the ones ready to remap the engine). It must be tempting if you live in Great Britain and have a similar budget to the Lotus Exige 410/430 ones.

Girodisc are great if you live in the US but when you try and bring to the U.K. shipping (esp due to the weight) and customs kill the cost benefit for us folks in U.K. and Europe :(

Im also not too keen on the Girodisc lock in whereby you only have them as the source of discs/parts going forward.
