Whats your favorite color for the TGP? Mine Red, i love how much it stands out, it gets everyones attention. Pull into the school parking lot and instantly the bright red catches everyones eye. Although the black is sleek and stealthy, and the metallic flake is awsome.

definetely black on grey.  Gotta love it.  I just never was a huge fan of gold wheels on cars.  They should've offered more along the lines of options for exterior accesories, God knows we have enough on the interior.

I like black but thats because I have one. I'm sure the red looks awesome in person too. I'd have to agree that black w. grey leather would be the best.

When I have driven my local buds Red TGPs, I get too many looks from people for my comfort level :oops: , it stands out, and is gorgeous in red 8).

Black, bad to the bone, GTS Smoked Headlight covers and its scary enough to get people out of the left lane without tail-gating or coming up on them fast at all 8)

As for the 4-door, white is a car color that grows on you, I now know that :lol:  But like Kenny says; LS as a 4-door mean machine, mine as a McLaren of course, and in Silver please:

Hehe :twisted: boy when McLaren does it, they just do it right 8)   Who else could make the Grand National even better (a "production" version that is) other than McLaren's GNX :wink: Yes the TTA and SyTys done by PAS are also amazing vehicles too, no doubt there :!: But its too bad Ford is still asleep, GM awoke and that is why we see TV commercials for the first time in 10 years :lol: but Ford is still not with it enough to support the few that work there that know how to get with it!!!....like those that were trying to get the word out on the new Lincoln with the McLaren LS.  I got a rental LS V8 back when it first came out, drove it for 9 days, really put it through the passes, it was amazing, better than the Jags, Benz, Audis, Bimmers, Caddies, and I mean in the ways that is American but without the compromises we have grown accustom to accepting with American cars.  There was only a small amount to pick about really (and I can be damn picky) like the programming (as with all stock chips :lol: ) that made the car too eager to leave from a stop, yea it made it feel faster but it was fast in all other respects, but lurching away from every stop was annoying, no matter how easy you were on the gas pedal, ?lunge? was unavoidable.  But that little programming goof, and anything else was all taken care of right quick with a total re-do of the newer LS (that all in like 2 years, that is fast!!!), that had 500 changes made to it, it could not get any better, other than an image builder like the McLaren version, that always helps a car get noticed 8).  But DAMN, one of the few cars that still look like an American and few know about it still :roll: , and its not some copy of the plain shit (large flat body side panels) from over-seas, or over-done retro, or god awful looking shit like the new Caddies :roll: .  We don't got shit for true American cars any more, but the Lincoln, though a bit understated, once truly looked at and experienced, is a true American work of automotive art and assembled excellence that does it all, and I am not even a Ford man, don't even own a Ford or this LS, so if I give my nod, has to mean something, at least to me :lol: Only the true intelligent Americans that remember, and have a clue, and are not so easily swain by some add telling them the new this crap or that crap is what you want to be seen in (Scion Box-Car :roll: ), realize what is a rare and excellent find today!!  It had to slap me in the face to know this with that test drive, and I blame Ford for it not being more common knowledge.  The TGP still turns heads after all these years, because it was done proper to start with, and its looks don't age :idea:   Oh yea, I remember, the V8 was Jaguar's best, tuned up , and fixed up so it would not fail and fall apart like all Jags still do :roll: .  Since this project died, there have been miscellaneous parts from manufacturers (that were going to support McLaren conversion cues) showing up on ebay, and at tuner stores on line; grills, emblems etc, nothing that we could use, other than the Flying Kiwi McLaren License Plate, but all the sellers I have talked with will not sell these, and said they only had a few, and they are still McLaren ?Active? items, meaning they can be shown on other McLaren ?show? cars later, so the plate is not retired like this car.  

Ok, sorry to take up the space, ignore if you don?t want to read it guys :wink: , back to McLaren?s other American work of art, the TGP and TSTE :D .
