I personally like the Ford GT as I feel it has great power and has very "easy" handling to deal with. Actually the 430 Scuderia is also a solid choice, but the 458 Italia surpasses it in every way.

The McLaren can be a handful, but dangerous in the right hands. I have noticed that it can understeer a bit, but of course that could be not enough tuning on my end.

But if I had to:

1) Ford GT
2) Ferrari F430 Scuderia
3) McLaren MP4-12
 
F430 for that pp i would say, ford gt is abit of a handfull, but also consider a nissan v spec gtr? With a good tune it can be good..
 
McLaren certainly isn't bad but it requires some time tuning to your driving style. Stay away from the high rpm turbo as it makes the powerband peaky. Can be a little loose, both in terms of grip and suspension, so be mindful of that. Frankly it's a fine choice, but of the three I would have to say go for the Scud. 458 beats it in numbers but numbers ain't everything.

This ^^^ plus he's dead on about the 458:tup:
 
430 Scuderia for sure. Ford GT feels too unstable for me with all the wheelspin. Probably because of the huge amount of horsepower and torque. If you can tame the Ford, it will be very fast. I would stay away from the McLaren since it feels like an Audi R8, high PP's but low performance (IMO), and you win it as a prize car. Albeit later in the game
 
I'd agree that the 458 Italia is better than the Scuderia.
I also really like the McLaren, although I've tuned mine down to 450 to use in the British seasonals so I've not raced it against the ferrari's.
I've not really raced the GT enough to comment.
 
Except in a few cases (mostly massively overpowered LM protorypes and Group C race cars), grip is easily managed in a proper tune. The additional grip in a circuit or road race application far from outweighs the cons that come along with 4wd cars. And then, of course, there's the fact that none of the cars the OP is trying to decide between is available in 4wd.
 
The scuderia is a beast I love it, there's some tune around here that will enhance it too.
 
Scuderia has the 2nd most miles out of any new car I have, only the X1 has more but 99% of that is B-Spec. I absolutely love the Scud, it's a missile (pun intended).
 
Granted, there are some decent circuit tunes out there for the GT-Rs (primarily R33s and R34s, some '07s) but the really good ones aren't maxed as this tends to kill them. Scuderia is easily maxed out and is absolutely insane when driven, the only reason I don't go all the way is that the titanium racing exhaust kills the sound. I keep going to the 430 as it's my personal preference of the cars that match the OP's criteria, but the other two are fine cars and easily kill most 4wd competition on the track. Still not entirely sure wh 4wd was brought up, lol.
 
Just to be different, Saleen S7.

Although to actually answer your question, haha, my favourite for this bracket out of those 3 is the McLaren.
