Porsche vs Ferrari
#34
Yeah, I regret every day selling my gt3. Sharkwerks exhaust and that 9k rpm made my daily drive fun. The nsx sound does seem subdued from videos I've seen, maybe have to go aftermarket. Chris Harris gave a good review and seen a few other good reviews so we'll see. The good thing is if I don't like it, I think I'm early enough to get out and not get burned.

I'm biased but based on my ownership experiences on track and road I can't really put faith into certain cars.
The Huracan is a good looking car- much better than the Gallardo. Interior if you spec it right is very sweet. Color is subjective and you can't say lambos suck because you don't like some color. Fun to drive, good noise, not worth tracking extensively as it feels like the traction algorithms are oddly programmed and the car ratchets while yaw reduction fights your right foot. Feels like the R8 in that regard which limits the on-limit confidence.
The 458 is very pretty but felt brittle to me, having driven two different cars that was the same. I also didn't like the steering and felt it was too artificial. Ride quality and brakes are dodgy. Trans and engine noise are superb. Easy to slide, drift, and be a hooligan.
The 458 speciale moves the game along for sure but for similar price the 675LT just absolutely crushes it.
GT3/RS make GREAT noises (not the best unless you do side muffler bypass) have great brakes, and can take a lot of punishment chassis wise. Sure there is the engine issue (warranty) but since the car just slowly evolved and then came out with new gizmos all at once early adopters got stung.
Budget concerns- get the porsche.
Can only have one car? Stretch for the LT.
Can get multiple cars? GT3RS and LT/Speciale
Lookin for babes? 458 spider
Lookin for babes that want to rip you off? Huracan spider

I did get my gt3 sorted out and sold it cause I was getting an rs. I never tried buckets and when my RS came in with buckets, I didn't like them, so I sold the rs. regret selling it though. For someone who wants to drive a car daily, the gt3 with sofa's was fun.

Hey you can always buy another GT3. Plenty out there including a lovely MY16 someone on here just listed today. Has the G engine updates already from the factory...

Interesting. The steering is on the lighter side on the 458 but I've never experienced any braking issues on my 458. I went to the Ferrari driving school at Mont-Tremblant (epic circuit btw) and we literally thrashed 20 different 458's all week without issues. They did have a mechanic on hand to swap brakes when needed but the cars performed without issues.
