how do you compare the 992 GT3 RS and the Huracan STO / TECHNICA ?

Hi,
I can’t get a GT allocation (GT3, GT3 RS, GT4 RS, not even a base GT4).
Can someone advise me which of these five cars I should pursue in which order?
992 911 Turbo S
992 911 Dakar
Ferrari 296 GTB
Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato
Mclaren 720s
I believe the 992 Turbo S will be the most attainable.
Thanks

like if you want a gt3 or gt4 just buy a nicely spec’d one used and wrap it. Ditto for a 992 TTS or a 720 or even an STO. Honestly you won’t have to wait that long for folks to be flipping their gt4rs, and I would wager the number of gt3rs being flipped in 12-18 months is enormous.
Allocations for a TTS 2-3 years. not everyone who wants a 992.1 will get one. Dakar … uh Yeah. Good luck. 296 is 2-3 years, with Ferrari games. Sterrato don’t know. 720 production is closed.
TL;DR if you can’t bring yourself to buy amazing cars second hand, you probably need to put deposits down on a lot of different cars and sow your car oats widely.

I sold my 991.2 RS which I owned for 3.5 years from new for a 2022 STO that I ordered. I really loved the RS (my third RS and fifth GT Porsche overall), but the STO is on another level. Of course I'm biased since I bought one, but it really is an event every time I drive it. It's not as refined as the RS but I bought the STO for its appearance and rawness. To me it looks so extreme I have a hard time believing its street legal. I'm not sure there are many cars out there that can give such a visceral experience. Besides it's appearance which I think is its best feature, the V10 engine is incredible and probably one of the best NA engines ever made for a road car. The car is extremely precise, but very stiff. I tend to drive in STO mode as the stiffness in trofeo mode is a bit much unless the roads are smooth. My complaints would really only consist of two things. I wish there were a way to disassociate the drive modes with the suspension, ie sharpest engine settings with the softest suspension and make the rear view mirror a digital screen like in the Corvette as you can barely see through the rear hatch vents. Some have complained the exhaust is too quiet. I unplugged the exhaust valves so its always loud but not bad at all. Even so, my RS with the JCR silenced race pipe was a bit louder. I've read a few reviews saying its the best Lamborghini the company has ever made in terms of a driving perspective. I hope this is a car I never have the desire to sell. Being the last of its kind in terms of an NA engine, it really appeals to me as its hybrids, turbos and all electric going forward.

Viola Pasifae is an amazing, dynamic color.
I would question anyone who buys a Lamborghini in a boring color - looks amazing! I’m torn between. Viola Pasifae, Viola Agelo, Viola Aletheia or Verde Selvans for my build.

Huracan vs GT3
I have own them both 991.2 and LP580. Tracked them both many times. Yes the Porsches handle tremendously, but a lot of it is on the setup. Their cars come almost track ready from factory. Do your Lambo a favor (no need to get an STO, although it looks cool). Get a -2.5 to - 3.0 camber, adjust your dampening on the springs, and get a set of PIlot Sport CUP 2 R. It will be a whole different beast, street or track ( make sure you let those CUP 2's warm up) . It will make you think twice before going back to a GT3.
