i currently have 348 spider for sale to make room for new gt3 coming this spring so i obviously like both p and f. having said that anyone looking to trade me his cs for my very nicely optioned gt3 can call me anytime! gt3 is an ultimate car but cs is just ultimate.

997 GT3 all the way! the CS is very nice and i like them, but the GT3 is so inspiring and breathtaking in person i would not pass it up. the CS is person isnt as nice IMO and frankly when i first saw one in person thought it was only a 360 coupe (before i looked more closely). the GT3 is def a much better performer, as the 996 GT3 was a better performer than the CS way back when, and the 997 GT3 is just steps further ahead of both.

There are a few cars quicker than a CS, but as a complete package it is hard to top and hard to quantify. I find it nimble, fantastically chuckable, tremendously satisfying to the ear, reliable, and well built. It is as enjoyable driving as it is standing still and admiring it.

Just the name Ferrari sounds exotic! Owning one is my dream as is many kids I'm sure - my brother was joking with me since I have a lot of Ferrari gear. He noted it would be ironic and funny if I got a Lambo!

To each his own though. PCH, I'm sure you enjoy every last drop out of your CS, but to keep everyone on the same page, the truth is the CS doesn't outperfrom a GT3 the way its specs say it should. Period.
