Got my sunglasses and radar detector out of mine yesterday.
Made me feel special just sitting in it.
Almost took it home. Than I looked at my work travel calendar and there is no hope till November to hit the track

I had a Scuderia AND a California. (and 2 Lambos) Fun, awesome cars to be sure.
Especially the Scuderia.
The Scud has more drama vs the Porsche to be sure. However, its a one trick pony. The Europeans refer to cars like the Scuderia as a 'A to A' car. You leave home for a drive and then return. In other words you would never take it for a long drive let alone traveling.
The California was well..boring. Sorry, it was. GREAT engine, great noise and the interior was gorgeous. Its basically more of a GT car than I wanted in an 'exotic'. You could easily use the California as a 'A to B' car. Long distance cruiser.
I also had a 2011 Lambo SL 570-4. Like the Scud with fewer toys. The 4 wheel drive system at low speeds was a pain and the transmission really did hate lower speeds. Again, A to A car.
The other thing that grew tiresome about the Ferraris and Lambos (ESPECIALLY the Lambos) was the depreciation. Holly crap did those cars love to lose value. The first owner of our Scuderia lost over $100k in 18 months. The first owner of the California lost almost $100k in 18 months...the Lambos were in a totally different league in terms of depreciation. Ferraris has (finally) recognized the depreciation problem they have an are cutting production.
(for reference sake ANYONE can get a near-new FF for nearly $100k off)
Porsche GT3 RS being dropped off next week. We are the second owners. Hopefully it lives up to my expectations and has the best qualities of the Scuderia and isn't too hard core for the occasional trip. Values for the RSes have held strong for 2-3 years. There were price increases when the new GT3 was announced. Seems to me that these cars will at least depreciate less vs their competitors if not old steady.
We also have several vintage european cars that have INCreased in value fairly dramatically over the last 5 years...
Anyway, will post pics when it arrives next week.

I'm sorry, just not seeing the value of these cars being 2 x 3.8RS = 3 x 7GT3 = 4 x 6GT3. Sure they are rare, but so are many other things. If buying for rarity (i.e. as investments to be parked and admired in your garage) I could think of plenty other investments with better expected returns. And I can still admire them without owning them.

I don't think you will find a 3.8 RS for 125k and if you do it won't be optioned well or not clean. Byers is a bit high on their cars, as I know cuz bought my RS from them. So I would not gauge the market price thru them.
i.e: blue RS for 209k
