Very different experience. I will probably be back into another 991 when I decide to convince the wife that I need a second sports car. Pics attached
I like Ferraris but I don't like the attention that goes with them.

spourreza, the f430 scuderia is their more hardcore one but i would much rather have your version which has more refinement in terms of interior luxury. sort of like my preference of having a carrera s to a gt3.
