By the Way.

Do you guys really think that the 599GTO or GT3RS would be suit as a daily driver.

I think not......

Realistically, if you had to sit in traffic every day, the Ferrari's clutch would be burnt out by the end of the year, not to mention the aircon isn't the best.

And the GT3 RS would be painful to drive in traffic, having to change gears all the time and deal with the whole clutch thing.

I think that a daily driver has to have some level of comfort for everyday use.
