pretty nonsensical test. the spectrum of the 458 (S) is so much wider than that of the 997RS. unless you only value one aspect, namely the race-connectedness of the car, there can only be one winner, the ferrari. please note that this comes from a declared ferrari and porsche fanboy.
disappointing to see evo stoop so low.

^^^ I think it will be in the 425 hp range. 450 will be to close to the GT3 and with the weight differential it may take it. - no way they let that happen.

425 and give it a manual - Hell, I am in too

pics are absolutely gorgeous, some of the best I've seen in the entire world of the 991 GT3.

The black is so menacing, particularly with the angles you've chosen for your photos.

Can't wait for my Red GT3 to be delivered this week, but the photos of your black GT3 have certainly given me pause on the color.

Might as well post one of the 458 also...

This little neighbor gal was turning 16 in the next few days. I offered to take a pic of her in my 458 with her phone. So this is a picture of me taking a picture.

Great review. I've driven both cars and I couldn't agree more with what you said.

that black GT3 puts the 458 to shame. sorry. both beautiful but something is off with the front end of the 458 which I cant quite pin down. don't get me wrong, its a beautiful thing but something is off, to my eye at least.
but as for the GT3, it is without a doubt the most beautiful car in the market today. no doubt. from head to toe just freaking perfect!

^That is a Super model. The GT3 is no Super Model but that does not make it less attractive. More rougher looking around the edges but still beautiful in it's own right
