I'm envious, that is a beautiful looking supercar, really next level compared to a GTS (hey, I know when to call a spade a spade...). Enjoy it!

I laughed a lot at that comment, partly because I kind of had that thought in the back of my head when I saw the pic. I think it's one of those cars you need to see in person to really appreciate the beauty. That pic doesn't do it justice (nor was it meant to - looks like just a quick phone snap to show us the car and it is appreciated).

Yessir. Find it hard to believe a GTS will get any looks at all when one of those are in the vicinity. When those doors go up the panties go down.

Larry didn't say he would lower his panties. Although he might.

For a little less $ and an additional 120-140hp I could easily live with one of the new F Type Jag's. T

Sadly, most guys that own them need a half hour or so for the pill to kick in. Or they need a factory installed lift before taking on any curbs.
The purple does look good though. My friends is black and really doesn't define the lines well. Specially at night.

A million times better looking than the generic McLarens.

I do think the lambo is much better looking...

But if I wanted a car that sucks to drive every day, I'd get the much faster and much cheaper ACR Viper.

But I don't, so I have a 911.

The McLaren's have service issues and few dealership to service the car. In addition, the depreciation is monstrous. If I was to get one, the 675LT is the only one worth having but very expensive.

The R8 is an excellent choice. Has a good footprint on the road but it to suffers huge depreciation. I would get a used V10 plus letting the original buyer eat the depreciation.

I just sold my GT3 and ordered a 2017 TARGA. Put my name on the list for a 991.2GT3RS.
Got to admit, Nick is pretty spot on
