I’ve had them all.
Now have a Manual GT3 and a 570S.
I loved the 458 sound (had 2 of them), but my 570S has been more reliable and way more “special”.
My huracan got boring and the seating position was never perfect for me.
i wouldn’t be adverse to trading the 570S for another 458 though, the sound draws me back. The looks, the speed, and the updated tech make me keep it.

My plan, actually, is to trade the 570S for a 991.2 RS and have a Manual .2 GT3 and a PDK RS. Is that stupid or what?!

As much as I dislike Ferrari the company I'd probably vote 458. I had a Huracan, and quite frankly it was boring and didn't feel that good to drive. McLaren has too many issues and crazy depreciation. Kind of why I gravitated back to Porsche. I just have 2 Porsches instead of German + Italian. Scratched that itch.

I haven't driven one, but why isn't the R8 V10 plus of more interest in this forum particularly to complement a GT3? High revving V10 shriek, not a boutique brand, large dealer network, lower price of entry/operating costs, and can confidently drive year round regardless of location if you desire.

Audi R8 - decent car, but at its price point is very numb to drive.

Depends on what you want the other one for

The Gt3 is kinda hard core so i am not sure another hard core addition makes sense. 570GT would be nice. More plush, special, not track - but very fast and sporty / GT. Lambo Performante is great but its way too loud / hard core too much attention low to really use around town. A 991 TTs would actually be a good addition. And as other have said a 458. But if u have those two, i think you obviously have a grocery getter, daily as well. With a 991TTs that could work as a daily.

Or sell that GT3 get a Mac 600LT and get a daily.

Ferrari 458.

Mclaren if you want a very different experience with the turbo charged engine. Unlike the 488, the 570S doesn’t seem to make much effort to hide that it’s turbocharged.

My last pick would be the Huracan. I found it a bit boring to drive for a performance car of that price point. GT3 is a far superior driving experience imo.

Probably a great plan

Idk, I personally don't see enough diversity between manual 1.2 gt3 and 1.2 3rs. They have such similar characteristics. Life is short. Have some variety in your 2nd car.

I'd go 488. They've come down alot and are an improvement over the 458. The 458 sounds better, but the 488 is better in almost every other way.
