GT3 vs 488

While I've never owned a base GT3, I do own a GT4 and 991 RS and a 488 GTB. The 488 is by far the most daily drivable car of the bunch - and it should since it's not a track focused variant.

Ferrari FF and Lusso are designed as daily drivers.
The seats in the 488 are not track oriented seats (although very sporty) and are extremely comfortable as a daily use.
The F12 (and 812) is a long distance cruiser
People are putting 20-30k miles on their Californias (now Portofino)
F-cars are very easy to drive on a daily basis. More so than the Porsche GT cars.

forget about track for moment. to those who have both, which one can be better used on daily basis? short, suburban commutes to work, gym, errands, etc. traffic, parking not an issue. how do suspension compliance compare on bad roads?
btw, I dd 997 gt3 and 348 spider for 5 yrs each. were about equal despite manual steering and roof in Ferrari. gt3 was awful suspension on bad roads.

Both can be stiffened /softened with the push of a button as well as optioned with suspension lifter. But, the GT3 is a natural-born front end scraper.

Myself and other actual owners have all said the same thing. F cars are perfectly fine for daily driving. GT cars while awesome and engaging, are a bit more difficult for the day to day duties.

Just as I thought. Spouting meritless opinion as fact.
Typical.

Owned a Cali
Drove it one year, nothing but a headache. I would not trust it over 50k Miles let alone 100k
Maintenance was of course free, but repair bills, would hate to be off warranty with any F car.
Again
Typical what ?

What issues did you have? My 10 Cali was issue free aside from a couple sticky buttons replaced under warranty.
My 458 had a dead battery replaced under warranty within the first 6 months and the folding roof needed a part from Maranello so I couldn't fold the roof for a couple weeks but still drove it everyday to work.

Would never own an F car out of warranty, the repair bills are astronomical.

Just curious how you afforded a relatively new 13 Cali which I assume you owned in 2013-14 before or at the same time as your 991 GT3 which you daily drove for 2 years and turned in a year ago?

You've emphatically stated that the .2 RS is a financial stretch and requires a 10 or 20 year loan.
