It's funny, I have a 458 and feel like they are 2 very similar cars and I too like the shifts better in the gt3 especially sport mode. Nothing sounds and looks like the 458, but based on price the gt3 rocks. The sherkwerks makes it sound way better too.

I would have kept the Speciale for future selling $$$ since the 488 went turbo.

Exact reason why I sold mine; it wasn't fun driving on the road not to mention the electrical problems it had. Plus I just plain up prefer the look of the Porsche; I always thought the 458 was a bit ugly.

He may just be BS-ing us, it was posted on April 1st.

He looked pretty serious, but i guess we will find out. His video taking delivery of the GT3 still is one of my favorites. This guy has had a lot of amazing cars costing considerably more than the GT3, but his reaction driving it for the first time was priceless. Since buying it he has sold 2 other cars.

GT3 FTW!

For him to sell the 458 back to the dealer for more than he paid, was the right thing to do, to continue to play the game. Ahhh, the famous Ferrari game.

Well knowing how the market behaves around any Ferrari, one cannot drive a Ferrari if they wish to maintain any value on the car. One must attach the car to a sturdy wall and just look at it.

Of course I'm exaggerating a little bit but the highly prized Ferrari's old or new have to keep the miles very low to acquire any gain on the car.

Just wonder how many miles were on the 458 when it was sold? And good job on getting more on the car when selling it back to the Dealership from which it was purchased. I love that, sticking "IT" back to the sharks.

But I do love Ferrari it's just I cannot see myself in one... except the F12 Berlinetta. Now that is a car I would drive from San Diego to St Johns in Newfoundland.

The reason most Ferraris don't have many miles is that most of the people that own them have several cars. It's also not a car that you want to just leave anywhere. Most of the people I know who own Ferraris don't worry about the miles.
