idk, that wouldn't make sense, but the 458 italia when you shift you have that crackle ala sequential, the speciale i drove just sounded like it bogged down, no crackle, just weird. Maybe it was the tc or the exhaust valves, idk. It was the only thing about that car that i didn't liked. Will try to find a video of what i'm saying ...

Plenty of people that have both a Ferrari and a Porsche in the garage.

Its not an either or decision. For some it’s both.
Absolutely.....

If I opened my garage and saw a Porsche and Ferrari, I might never go back in the house.

Touring has msrp of 180k and 458sp go around 400k.

What would you guys pick? and why?
If I had $180k to spend I would get the GT3. If I had $400k to spend I would get the Speciale.

Just get both

But if you're happy with a Touring just buy it and pocket the $200k.

Or just spend the coin on your dream car.

Not sure how any of us can guide you.

Love my GT3 but NFW I would keep it over a Speciale. Both epic cars but come on. GT3 > 458 but not the "RS" of 458s.

Just a custom blend epoxy. I went with a pearl white finish on my second garage in the back.
