I was wondering how top speed could be so close to gt3 despite higher drag, bigger front surface, and shorter final drive ratio...and I've noticed the bigger rear wheels offset partially (if not totally) the shorter ratio...21 inches give exactly a 5% bigger wheel circumference compared to 20"....a bit of disappointment here

here are my possible upgrade deals from my 458italia (MY 2013):
to 488GTB : about 55K euro (reasonable configuration, not excessive on carbon etc), the ferrari dealer wants to keep my business and shows his generous side
to GT3RS : about 70K euro + 7K euro for rearview cam and parking sensors.
spec includes carbon ceramics. no good part exchange deal from porsche
to 458speciale: about 88K euro
to GT3: about 10K euro + 7K euro for rearview cam and parking sensors (if i can still round up an allocation).
i think i am going to stay with the 488GTB precontract.

I saw the 458 Speciale in Abu Dhabi at Ferrari world and honestly it looks spectacular in the flesh. The carbon highlights on it fixed the disjointed look of the 458 for me personally... If I could afford any car short of a hypercar that's the one I'd get.

The question is, how much of that would you make back in the futurein depreciation delta?
Silly that Porsche is up-charging for aluminum trim on the GT3 RS if you want it over CF...

Configurator is now up fully on the USA site. No need to change codes or anything and it has prices. Here's my build since personally I think the color options suck: http://www.porsche-code.com/PGBJ2PA0

Price delta for me between GT3 and RS would be about $43K, going with similar equipment. I'd have to go with orange because I don't like any other offered color with those front fender vents. With the GT3, I still like white. I can't see how it's worth $43K more.
So in terms of value, I give the win to the GT4, then GT3, then RS. But if cost wasn't a consideration, I suppose I'd still take the RS.
