Exactly !
my main issue is lack of good road in Houston
i'm very sad that my GT3 in the garage all the time and i take it outside maybe once a month , and same thing with my Ducati 1199 .

i installed the Cargraphic bypass , the engine sound amazing !
because of that i thought maybe to get a car i can enjoy everyday , i tried the 991 Turbo S , take me less then one minute to understand i like the GT3 much much more.

sorry guys for my bad English , it's hard for me to explain exactly what i mean.

believe me i tried many cars , there is no prefect car for everything
the best car i ever tried was a Carrera GT on 2008 , i will never forget this car , analog car , no forgiveness at all , race car engine - back then it's look this engine have endless power , a pure driving machine
i'm not sure the new hypercars of today are better.

second car i tried on Track (only for 10 minutes) , Ferrari 458 - i love it !

i tried on track also the Huracan and love the engine and grip , less the handling.


"mooty" , you are absolutely right , i'm totaly confused
it's not only engine power , it's also weight
Arial Atom or Ultima GTR - those car super light.
lightest are the most important thing for handling and "fun to drive" in my opinion.

i really like the power , sound , torque of a V8 or V10
this is why i wrote that i wish Porsche will build V8 (but it's will never happen)
RUF did it , small V8 inside 911 - i'm sure this is amazing car , but crazy price

last week i order Macan Turbo , i will get my new build in 2 month
great SUV for everyday.

Stop- many have posted your answer. Get a Turbo S and put on a FVD Sport exhast. You will have plenty of torque, rocket ship fun, and it will sound the part

All done

Having both a Turbo S and a GT3, if you re-calibrated the steering on a Turbo S to be GT3 like, and replaced some of the Turbo S' suspension bits, you might have the car you're after.

Here is what I recommend from cheapest to most expensive.

M4 (even easier to drift than M5, and I recommend and love the car)
M5 (my previous car, and I do miss the tail happiness. I really need to push the GT3 to get to that sort of fun)
458 speciale (simply the best car I have ever driven)

But for everytime you get it right, the GT3 is the absolute best car in the world.

If I were going to considers something different a 458 would be very high on my list. The car is magnificent and it has plenty of power. I considered one when I got the GT3, along with a McLaren 12c. My biggest issue (besides depreciation on the 12c) was that these cars demand too much attention. This is a good thing on date night but a bad thing when you are drive it to work three days a week. I drive my GT3 at least 60% of the time and I love it. Good luck!

M4. I have a GT3 and a 2015 Dinan Stage II m4. The M4 scares me to death. With the Dinan upgrades and electronics off, it's an animal. I love it.

I really recommend it. The car is incredible. And cheap enough to where you just keep the GT3. If you sell your GT3, you will miss it. Ask me how I know. I bought another 6 weeks later.

I would go with a 650s...one of the few cars I've driven on the street that I really wanted to have out on the track but was still thrilled with on the street. Best mix of Turbo S, GT3 and otherwise hypercar. Thing can get out of shape quick but is scalpel precise. Just find yourself a preowned one for 240k and you're good to go. They should hit 210s in not too long if you're patient. That's where I would go given what you're saying and I've got a Huracan in the garage for context (which is fantastic and a screamer btw)

this is what i thought few weeks ago , to get M4 as a daily car
since i have 335i that the lease will end soon , M4 can be a very good choice for me.

you have amazing color GT3 !!!

that's also a big problem , i'm not find myself missing my GT3 when i'm not driving it.

on the weekend i saw a nice GT3 near the Karting place (called MSR)
with track setup , not sure what wheels brand he using
the owner tow the car on a trailer.
that's could be a fun for me
(i will add Photo of this car later)
