GT3 - Best Pairing: 570s, Huracan, 458, or Nothing?
Hey guys,
I have a '14 GT3 in the garage. I'm planning for 2019 and possibly looking to add one of the above. Which would you choose to pair with the GT3 and why?
get something exotic looking with a bit more low end grunt. GT3 looks like any other porsche, and is already a great daily. I cant say I know the gt3 well enough after owning it for 2 weeks, but from what I have experienced so far it's crazy fast in the canyons once past triple digit (pdk, relative lightness, sticky tires, raw engine sound at top end). My vote goes to v8 or v10 italians, or an ariel atom for something more raw than a gt3
Here's my personal choice. Drove all of the cars in your title and only one pulled at my heart strings. High revving NA V8 combined with gorgeous styling and incredible sound and sense of occasion. McLarens are fast with great engineering, but lack soul. The only Huracan I would buy would be the Peformante. Regular one feels to similar to an Audi R8.
Good luck with your choice, personally I think the 458 and GT3 variant are two good choice to enjoy. The GT cars are fun in the high rev band and great track cars and can take a beating. The 458 is a sick V8 that revs to 9k and the sound and sensation is a treat every time you pull it out, and you can enjoy at legal speeds around town and enjoy. I actually sold my 991 RS for the 458 Spider, and have a 991.2 RS arriving in November .....my opinion these are the two cars I choose to keep for awhile as I enjoy them equally for different reasons. Porsche unbreakable, and I think ever man should own a Ferrari once if possible I smile evertime I start it up .....well maybe not my neighbors. Just sold the M4 and the Boxster Spyder waiting on the RS for the center bay(:
I have a 458 as well..it’s beautiful addition to the gt3..actually traded my 570s for the gt3..570s is fast as hell but boring..softly considering selling 458 for a GTR Amg..but not sure I can give up the sound...it’s unlike any other out there!
458 no doubt....and what an all around garage that would be, smart money imo with the warranty on the 3 and the current prices of the 458. I’m replacing my 458 and going to choose between a 2RS and 3RS and call it a day. TT700hp@7k or NA520hp@9k That’s the real question....
I’m supposed to be taking delivery of a six-speed 991.2 GT3 in October. My other toy is a TT Huracan. I figure they’d provide different driving experiences. I plan to daily drive neither of them.
I’m in the Huracan/570S camp. Looks and sound are subjective but the Lambo wins here IMO. Tech goes to the 570S (carbon tub, separate engine and suspension tuning). I really like the 458 but dare I say it’s old tech now. It is the slowest of the 3 but is aging well. You can’t go wrong with any of them. Good Luck!
