Very nice! Congrats!! Give us your impressions vs. the 458. I'm pretty close to owning both, I may pull the trigger right after the first of the year. ENJOY!!

Thanks all for the kind words--- Ill post some 458 vs GT3 thoughts as I gain more time behind the wheel. Both cars are relatively new to me, the 458 is a 2014 acquired in Sept.
I actually drive this more often than most... tuned and with the new KW suspension and sways its a beast trapping close to 130 and pulling stupid 0-60's even in the wet... and I can actually press this car in the turns since it doesnt have the terribly fluffy air suspension:

You're screwed, so get used to it
Haha, welcome to the club!
Don't know your driving habits nor what your uses will be, but two very different cars and very different driving.
I'm admittedly a track junkie and love driving my cars.
The Ferraris is …. well a Ferrari. For me, there's no comparison when driving on the street. You won't get more people looking, honking, "thumbs upping", picture snapping, etc. than any other car. The power, the feeling on the road, the sounds, it makes your regret getting to your destination.
The problem I've found is that the Ferrari on track, lap over lap doesn't behave as well as the GT3. Not even close.
Temps, brakes, even power all diminish under heat and prolonged time on track. Also, I didn't feel it was as balanced, power to weight as the GT3. While it has 100 more horse, it felt heavier.
BTW, I noticed your Audi. You'd be very surprised how well that thing does on track too. My A8 plows in turns, but ticks the crap outta lot of cars on the straights
