Mclaren doesn't have a LSD. Not sure what were they thinking

Interesting the message at the end, McLaren saying their car had issues with their suspension, and after it was fixed, came back and trumped the Ferrari.

I have seen a good amount of vids on the MP4 and I think it was because its his first time driving it. I will wait to see what Top Gear has to say.
Its a TT V8.. Its faster than a 458...

Although the 458 is still my favorite of the group, I don't think the mclaren has gotten a fair shot.
Just as the magazines found when the GT-R when it first came out, the mclaren needs to be driven the way it was designed to be driven, which is not the typical "road car" driving style. People rag on the diff not being a limited-slip, but it's there to pull the car around corners, not make the tail slide out. I think this is what Ben was referring to when he said he was getting the delay. If he would've been more aggressive with the throttle (than he would've been in a LSD-equipped car), the brake bias diff might have helped rotate the car. Who knows, I'd be interested to see how the McLaren gets on with the magazines if their test drivers were shown around the track 10/10 by mclaren's own....
