I am about to pull the trigger on a speciale. I currently own a 991 2015 gt3 which I love and a 2009 Scud. I would appreciate thoughts from anyone who owns both the gt3 and the Speciale as to which car they prefer and why!
thx ji

I have a GT3 and 458 Spider. Not exact. I like the cars for totally different reasons. the GT3 is just on a different planet when it comes to handling. the Ferrari is so light in the front end. If I want to be noticed I drive the 458. For a drive in the country, the GT3.

For me, I dont think you can get wrong if you replace a scud with a speciale. Although I would not be in a hurry to do it, prices would go down(speciale) and you scud would hold value or even go up.

The 458 is about 60% more fun on the street than the GT3 I traded in for it. To get 458 excitement from a GT3 you must be on the track. The Ferrari is fun from 1st gear on up. Just my opinion...your mileage may vary.

... if you haven't had chance yet, DO see this Chris Harris comparison.

I have the GT3, but I've never driven anything that comes close to the speciale. I can say that its the best car I've ever driven, and I'd be really surprised if it doesnt keep going up in price.

I've driven the 458. I have a GT3. 458 blew me away in 2011 when I drove it, but did nothing to me n 2014 after driving the the GT3. My humble opinion.
Speciale if you afford it. All power to you....I can't. I think the comparison should be with the RS though. I would love to have an RS. I can afford it but I can't have it. If only I can get an allocation

If you can afford both it's not even close. Speciale all the way. Looks 100x better and the GT3 will be replaced by a newer better version in a year or two while the Speciale is probably the last NA mid-engine Ferrari sports car.

Not to mention that a lot of the recent rise in Porsche's values is due to the same 'muscle-car' craze of the 90's. Once our generation starts to die off; the younger below-30 generation is beginning to look at Porsche as Germany's Lexus and won't hold a candle to the prestige Ferrari has.

Porsche will probably send the NA motor off with some sort of Limited 991 GT3 RS .2; that's the Porsche version of the Speciale.

...not to mention the 991 GT3 interior is basically the same as a $45,000 Boxster.

Too bad you weren't living in Europe where the Speciale is cheaper than the 991 GT3 RS right now.
