My car is here. A basic white GT3 with PCCB
I sold my '06 Ferrari 430 because I never really connected with it.
The 911 is simply unbelievable
It is everything I wanted the Ferrari to be:
Competent
Fast
Ergonomic
Hugely grin inducing
Not too flashy on the road.
The engine pulls like a freight train.
I’m having Sharkwerks do a bunch of mods done the week of the 25th
I'll post pictures after Alex is done.

The 430 was a beautiful object - and I had the good fortune to be able to buy it new exactly as I thought I'd want it.
At the risk of starting a long thread off topic, my issues were:
too inappropriate to drive to work
too expensive to drive anywhere someone might scratch it
too uncomfortable and loud for a long trip
So the only thing I found it good for was the Sunday morning run up Skyline at 6 am once a month. I owned it 18 months and put 900 miles on it. It was too precious for me to enjoy.

Pitts- thanks for sharing your real world FCar experience. Not I can sleep better, be more productive at work, and save about $150K on my next dream car purchase

Congratulations on the GT3, I respect your switch as I find the GT3 to be more of a drivers car and some people drive in a daily basis and still take it to the track on week ends.
Why not share with us some pictures of your GT3, and enjoy it in good health!

Wow. That's a first. The F430 is absolutely my dream car. But if you can't just let go and drive it then I can see how it wouldn't be much fun. I test drove an F430 when I purchased my 997TT. I absolutely loved it - but not for $300 K. I will own a Ferrari some day. The Porsche is the right car for me right now though. I am glad you found the car for you.
Good luck!
