Respect for showing up here! It's the internets so, well, yeah that happens. I love my Ferrari AND I love my Porsche and I grew up in a town where Ford and Chevy owners wouldn't speak to each other, and Mopar was only acceptable on the other side of town. Things are so much better these days with the internets bringing us all together

For those that have owned both, How’s the ride quality and handling compared to 911 and or 911 GT cars? Stiffer? Firmer? Sharper? Softer?

The 991.2 is sharper and maybe slightly softer. At least to me. But I do miss the sound of the Ferrari.

It is not easy to be green in a world full of red, black and blue Challengers. Stunning car and stunning photo mate. I bet the rumble must be intoxicating.

The green was the clencher. Took some time for one to pop up. The exhaust is insane (especially with the midmuffler delete) 😁

Beautiful car man, I wouldn't own one personally because my garage is not big enough for more. But I appreciate some good looking USA muscle!

Not into muscle cars but this car looks good! The Pacific northwest is a hidden gem. Lets keep it that way!

^ Ah, yes. The 430 Scuderia. It was the first Ferrari I ever had a ride in. It was the guys "track beater" so he drove the wheels off of it (he also had a 599GTO and an F40). Lots of fun for sure.

No, I wouldn't own a Ferrari. I want three pedals so if I could afford a 2018+ GT3 touring with a manual, that's what I'd be driving. Right now, my manual 991.2 is pure bliss.

No insult intended. Merely a lame attempt at sardonic wit... That Challenger is gorgeous. AWD?

HAHAHA! I know it was just a rub. No offense taken.

here is how i feel

The only reason you buy a Ferrari is because you can't afford a Pagani? Those have always been stupid arguments and made by people that like to stroke their ego and make themselves feel better.
I like Ferrari and would love to own a 612 Scaglietti or perhaps FF. Yes I am not rich and i cannot own both at the same time. However, if i wanted to i can own a Scaglietti. But i would not trade my C2 for it. That's right, a messily 3.4L "base" Carrera. I love this car and even though i would absolutely love to own a Scaglietti (and can) i love my Porsche more and would not give it up. My winter ride is a Cayenne GTS. That also adds something to my argument.
Its a matter of a taste and preference and there is never a right or wrong choice when it comes to that. To each their own.
