Absolutely not, fully agree with you. I dont see an M4CSL as a super car either.

Just seen the reason for your post on another popular forum and sadly the OP is a tad optimistic in his view

No, but it's a Super Hairdressers Car
They're a cracking little car and one a few are tinkering with, so it's good to see those folk happy.
But I've had three in the family, kept them stock and sold them as and when.
The cosmetic upgrades are what we do I suppose, and they look funky and a little more individual, but I wouldn't be spending a sausage on trying to improve performance.
It's an awesome car, and I turn my head on the rare occasion that I see one. But as far as super car goes for me, I'm afraid not.
Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here! And of course! I'll get some pictures of my TT in the morning when it's daylight, my McLaren'll have to be at some point in the future as in typical McLaren fashion, it's currently on holiday at the Leeds service centre for repairs 😂Welcome to the forum Dean, we need Pics of your cars please !!

Honestly, it's proving to be a nightmare, and this is 5 months in.look forward to the pictures. Has the Mac been a pleasurable ownership, or proving costly?
Oh, that sounds like a mare, you are not alone, I know of others who have them (or given up on them) it appears you can’t have one out of warranty at very least!Honestly, it's proving to be a nightmare, and this is 5 months in.
I bought the car in September of last year, 2019 plate with 9.5k miles on the clock, with roughly 14.5k clocked up now. The car made its first trip to the service sensor last week as a flashing CEL popped up when I was driving a few weeks back, and ever since the car has had a random, multiple cylinder misfire.
Oh, on top of that, when its cold outside (anything below around 4c), the infotainment system ceases to function, as do the electric seats. This doesn't sound as if it would be a giant issue, but when you open the door the drivers seat goes to the furthest position to ease exiting the vehicle. If it's cold and you go to get in, good look reaching the pedals until the cars warmed up and the electric seats are working 😂
I love the car, the styling is perfect, the drive quality is a dream, but the reliability is a nightmare, and not what you'd expect of a 6 figure car, especially this early into its life and my ownership. Prior to the Mac I had a gen 1 Audi R8 from 2008 with around 90k on the clock, aside from a few broken interior trim pieces, the car was a dream, it never caused me any issues whatsoever. I'm already contemplating swapping the Mac for a gen 2 R8, and the extra time I have had to enjoy my TT whilst the McLaren is in for repairs is really pushing me closer to pulling the trigger on that decision.
I don't think I'd recommend one to anyone, unless they already had several cars of its status and wanted a garage queen that they could drive every once in a while, or track twice a year. Aside from that, I think it'd be too much of a headache for anyone to enjoy long term.
I'm really not too heavy into taking pictures usually 😂
Would you recommend Ferrari? I haven't really considered one as an alternative as I'd be worried about the out of the frying pan into the fire scenario, as I've heard they have some issues as well. I'm not sure which Ferrari you have, but the 488 would be of particular interest to me.That's the mirror opposite of me!
I've got a Ferrari and that's costly to run if things go wrong or some big ticket items need doing so I feel your pain.
Look forward to some pictures though.
