This is where my mind keeps taking me. It's not going to corner any better, plus the car is huge so where in LA could I use that performance? Probably not even getting on the freeway as I'd likely rear end someone. Sounds like the price is as ludicrous as the speed.I went through a similar thought process - p100d or 90d? The bottom line is the P is good for one thing only; bragging rights. You'll likely have the fastest car in your circle of friends, and all your buddies will line up for that thrill-ride launch. Once.
It's all launch, though. Nothing else about the P100D will impress a car person.
In my case, I opted for the 90d, and will use the 40k to buy a proper track car (used lotus? Ariel atom? A noble? Shopping around is half the fun!) and get the best of both worlds, and instead of commuting at 10mph in a 2.4 second commuter boat, I get to commute in a 4s commuter boat and daydream about what corner-blasting 2 seated track toy I'll spend the 40k I save on.
Or maybe a decent performance sailboat... how much does a J24 cost anyway?
I drove the P100D today and it just didn't win me over enough to part with that much money. I know I said the issue was settled but I had to be 100% sure. I've got a $118,000 90D on order so I'm already at some serious money not to consider going whole hog, the consensus here seems right which is stick with my order,
