I'd go for a classy specced Revuelto to add next to the GT3.
Speciale, Pista, LTs are also very nice, but since you already have a GT3, a V12 makes more sense imo.

The 296 really makes the SF90 seem like overkill as the 296 when driven hard is more engaging than the SF90. I think they could have done better with the exhaust on the 296 (such as how they did the race car in challenge or GT3 format) but for those of you saying that an 800+ HP rear wheel drive car with a really cool sounding engine is not 'engaging' - I mean...sorry but that's wildly hopeless. It's insanely fast, and squirts and darts around under full throttle and through corners it slides etc just like any fun mid engined car should.
Would you call it engaging on the street though? Like any GT car?
I agree that it’s like a TTS, in the aspect, a gt3/rs and TTS are going to be similar lap times, but the GT is just more dramatic from a sounds/feeling aka loud/metallic/stiff standpoint which to me is “engaging”
if I have to drive it wot on track like your taking I believe, I would just call it a very very capable sports car (which it is), but not necessarily engaging.
I would agree sliding just about any 800hp sports car on a track at wot is going to be engaging and fun lol and if anyone gave me the keys to a 296 to drive around laguna, I’m taking that opportunity 100% of the time
Downside on McLaren vs Porsche is build quality and dealer network / proximity but on a 488 vs 720 comparison the 720 is way way better.
Mclarens and Ferraris don't really tolerate hot ambient temps or sustained 25-30 min track sessions 5-6 times a day like a GT3 does.
Track wise- I have a GT3 cup and a 488 evo so not biased there either.
I ended up with my 488 because I got the itch for a new toy. Ironically, that itch started with a 720. I didn’t make it out of the parking lot on my test drive before warning lights started flashing. Yes, warranty covers that stuff. But I couldn’t get excited about a newer car that immediately needed to go back to the dealer for diagnostics.
I also didn’t feel that it was faster than the tuned 991.2 GTS I had at the time. I’m sure I would have felt differently if my focus was on performance from 60 or 80mph on up, instead of spirited windy road stuff and stop light shenanigans.
Your comments about temperature control perfectly illustrate the need to consider usage when comparing cars. I’ve never tracked my cars. During my type of driving, my 488 controls temperature (engine oil and coolant) far better than my 992 TTS.
I just want to say how much I appreciate this thread. A bunch of true owners and enthusiasts coming out to share their love of cars and perspective vs. the constant Rennlist bickering around ADMs and allocations or folks whining about why they can't get XYZ car.
What an arrogant post.
Most of us do not own several expensive performance cars and are fortunate to track them. I value all posts, whether they relate to car performance opinions or the status of the car market. This is a site for Porsche enthusiast open to all opinions related to Porsche.

Stating that he appreciates a thread means he needs to “scratch his ego”? What an odd take on an uplifting and positive post.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but as a counterpoint, most see this as a forum for the enthusiast owners of $200K + cars to share their common passion. That said, there are far too many threads on Rennlist related to the purchase cost and subsequent values of what should be objects of pleasure and an escape from our business lives which make their purchase possible. When posts fixate on values, our cars are reduced to commodities which diminishes the pleasure of ownership.

Arrogance is being on a forum and expecting people to have the same opinion, mindset, cars, and financial situation as you. Relax and enjoy the conversation

It’s “ego” that I’m sharing my appreciation for other car enthusiasts and for this thread specifically where everyone is openly discussing their love of cars vs bickering? I gave an open compliment to all here, yet somehow that offends you? Okay dude.

You did not. Your post was intended to denigrate those who post on matters other than car performance. At least be honest about it.
Major misread Nick. Take a step back and get some fresh air
I appreciate your input. Please explain how I misread his post when he singled out himself and others as true car enthusiasts and compared them to the whiners who whine about ADM and not being able to get an allocation. Sorry, his intention was clear. Demean those who complain about markups and not being able to get an allocation. Do I need to remind you how many posts dealt with the issue of dealer ADM’s and allocations?
I'll end my rant now by saying we are all equal car enthusiasts.
maybe there does need to be a Whining Whiners subforum to add to the everything ADM forum.
As someone else said- when we bring the negative sentiments into these conversations it pollutes the fact that we're here to escape stress, not bathe in it
