BTW, if you are thinking about the 488 Spider, beware the low roofline.
If I go 488, will be coupe. I am 6'-3" how tall are you? Do you fit in the 488 coupe??

If I continue to do well, I plan on keeping/holding onto my GT3 and moving on to a different brand if I want another sports car....

The **** you have to deal with for the GT cars as a cash buyer is nearing insanity, especially as the prices for a well-spec'd GT3 (not even RS) are approaching $200k+

I'm 6'4". I fit in the 488 coupe, but not the spider. FWIW, never fit better in a car than my GT3. Perfect.

agreed
was thinking of going to the 488 as it is much faster - but the 458 look and sound still lifts my skirt.

My son is a hair under 6'3" and he fits just fine. If you get the carbon "racing seats" like I did you also should get this manual lifter that allows vertical adjustment so shorter people can drive too. Regular power seats may be taller, not sure.

FRANKFURT, March 9 (Reuters) - Three new representatives of the Porsche and Piech family will take seats on the supervisory board of Porsche Automobil Holding, the company said on Friday, handing responsibility for Volkswagen’s oversight to a younger generation.

Porsche Automobil Holding SE, which controls a 52.2 percent voting stake in Volkswagen, the world’s largest carmaker, said its board of directors would be extended from six to 10 members, allowing some fourth-generation members of the clan to gain a seat.
