When my 570 Sprint gets in you should come out and drive that. We'll have some track days going in the harsh AZ/ SoCal Winters...

New nsx will be out soon, I think it could be a good dd and a few track days. Also, I just got a 488, torque is insane. Do not buy a 458, 488 is so much faster and handles way better. I also have an rs, but I wish I had kept my regular gt3 as it was much better as a dd. F12 is a great gt car as well.
I'm all for an F12 too for the points Mr Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim made. But the exception of the F12 being rather Rotund in comparison to the GT3/RS and again is not a carving tool for the track like the Porsches gives apprehension in such a scenario for myself! I'm just so bummered to see the 3's still have over inflated valuations STILL to this day. I can only blame greedy dealerships such as the Auto Gallery in LA and Car Flippers keeping the car Overpriced!
If I was too spend something around $300K on a car it would be for a Concourse rated British Ac Ace Bristol. That someone named Carrol Shelby put, originally, a 260 Ford V8 into for a short amount of time before replacing the 260 with a 289. And I don't need to mention anything after that. Most of us are familar with the story.

Presently driving a 2012 Turbo S
I belong to a track I run at 10 or so days a year. Want something that is a decent daily driver, but which would also be a fun road trip car.
If possible I'd like a car that draws as little attention as possible. That is why I am not looking at the 458, McClarens, Huracan or R8.

If I decide to get a gt3 I'll wait and get one of the new 2018 models when they come out. My window of opportunity for getting a new toy should open in just over a week. I'm not sure I have the self control to wait for the 2018s, and I am reluctant to purchase a used gt3 at the prices I see them listed for.
The GT4 is an awesome alternative, but I would be coming from a 2012 tts. If I got one I would probably turn it into a dedicated track car.
I just saw where Mercedes plans to introduce a new AMG GT R on the 24th. It might be an interesting option if they've take enough weight out of the original GTS.

The new NSX isn't getting the best reviews for track use.
I'm all for an F12 too for the points Mr Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim made. But the exception of the F12 being rather Rotund in comparison to the GT3/RS and again is not a carving tool for the track like the Porsches are gives apprehension in such a scenario for myself!

If money is not an issue i would do the f12 that thing is a beast of a car 700hp about, if money is tight i would do a GT3 but about the RS wing, it is detachable btw.
I own a GT3 and love it, i have yet to drive an RS but for me in person the RS looks like it is worth that much more than a regular 3 even at the over MsRP prices they are going for but i can't afford over MSRP otherwise i would be driving an RS

Funny thing is that a 14' or even 15' F12 won't cost much more than a slightly used GT3RS, and less than a new one. Of course the running costs of an F12 would be horrendous, but I expect and can afford it. Need to take one on a test drive to gauge how it would perform on a track. I know it's heavy and big, but it's supposed to be a blast to drive.
