I currently own a 16' lambo SV and 15' GT3. and have owned a 12c, 650s, Gallardo, CGT,997TT, GTR etc.
while my SV is a exotic beast, the GT3 is simply the best all around car I have ever owned. it does everything right and doesn't attract negative attention. I have a feeling if you sell yours, you will miss it. put it away for a few weeks and when you start driving it again you will have that feeling all over again! hopefully lol

From just about every quantifiable perspective the GT3 will be the better car.
------------------

However, the 458 does offer something in the way of "driving experience". It is certainly a little more dramatic flare to your time on the road.

I was fortunate enough to be studying automotive design in Turin while it was being conceived. A couple of my professors were on the design team at the time, and so a select number of us then-students were allowed to participate (ie push out as many sketches as possible before our fingers went numb). Design-wise the feeling then was that it was something extra special. Nearly everyone felt almost unnaturally in-sync, which was rarely the case when dealing with designer egos/ideas.

I recently ran across a few friends from that time and we reaffirmed the idea that the 458 was a rather special project. It certainly has the potential of being called one of the more beautiful Ferraris made.

In conclusion, good luck with your decision! Any potential you would have the chance to take a "fun" test drive prior to pulling a trigger?

This.

I picked one up on a whim to hold me over until the 991.2 GT3 RS comes in. My intention was to trade it back when the RS was ready. I'm fairly confident I will have both the Spyder and the RS in the garage when the time comes.

I've owned a couple 458's they are very special cars, amazing fun and a special experience on the road.

I never quite understood these comments. Unless Service is terrible, why do business with a Service location if you do not like it ? What do people expect during the service ? For sake of keeping everything PG-13 i wont say words that come to my mind.

As for Tesla. I purchased a Signature S, new, very early production #. I haven't received any illicit services from Tesla SA nor discounts. FWIW.

Tesla is not the best in Service that i have received but i don't expect anything better in the US. What do people expect ? Maybe I don't have "high" expectations of SA handing out illicit services because i purchased a 6 figure vehicle ? Should i demand more because i have a 6 figure vehicle ?
That's what it sounds like me. I have money, treat me like royalty.
American service sucks compare to Japan. Doesn't matter if you spend $1 or $100000, service is exceptional across the board. Nothing touches Japanese service. If this was a complaint about service not being exceptional across the board in the US, i would agree-- but not because I have money i need to be treated superior then a Honda dealer.

458 would be my choice in a heart beat, there's just something about it.

Listen to this if money is your main focus.

I've been through a lot of cars, Vipers, 430's, Gallardo's, Aventador, FGT's, etc., and I have to say that the GT3 is on of the most fun cars of the lot. It is a tad too refined to be a visceral experience, but they are incredible platforms. I've never owned a 458, they've always just missed the mark a bit for my taste, and having a Huracan really defies the point of a 458.

I'm very happy with my current stable, and I'd sell the GT3 before I had to sell the Huracan, and the Huracan before the Scud. It's tough to go wrong with the Huracan, just don't expect it to handle as well as the GT3, it's highly capable, but there is a softness to them side by side. They are tough to beat in the looks department too:

Choose whatever floats your boat at the time....honestly you can't go wrong....no matter what you have it will become boring after some time....I am going on year 4 with my 458 and year 2 with my GT3....both are "boring" but I've come to learn that I'll get bored of anything and would rather have the cash than a new car....I've contemplated selling both for the Blue 675LT at Miller Motor cars but after really thinking about I holding tight....

you guys have had many more cars than me. i moved to cars from bikes and can say the manual experience on the street is where its at. I get bored driving any automatic and have the "i hope" deposit on a 991.2 gt3 manual. I drove a scud last week. amazing feeling to drive, but still no 3rd pedal. I think the vibe will come back if a manual hits next year. As for the money, its moot, if you lack interaction in the drive.

That 675 they have is sick. So are the 2 P1's lol.

I talk to my dealer almost daily. How did you get a deposit on any .2 GT car? My new car manager is saying zip from Germany as of yet on the .2's.

bronson7

So are you saying your dealer said there will not be a .2 or is he saying he hasn't heard anything as of yet? I don't believe any dealer has heard much.
