GT3 RS ...
... but ... bear in mind this is quite a loud and hard to drive car compared to the others. I can give you some pro and contra on these cars: 1. Maintenance-cost will be lowest on the new one, affordable on the RS and for the F-car the fact isn't IF somet...
Really Appreciate your Reply Bim
I've actually read it three or four times and thought about everything you have written. 1) I agree with you, I don't know if you knew but I owned a 99 355 Spider some years ago so am familiar with the issues you are mentioning however this is the reason ...
It would be a Porsche.
Not sure if the GT3 or the new Boxster/Cayman; would have to think about it and compare. (it's a GT3, what else?) If I had to choose with the heart, then it would be the GT3, with the mind, it would be the Boxster/Cayman. (new tech, new car, pdk) vte
GT3 RS...
among this three this car is one or two levels above others at least Best D
Thanks Damjan...
I agree it sure is but a bit concerned it might be a bit too much to drive daily for 3 or 4 days straight if my daily driver was in for a service or any other issue. S
Depends on your tolerance for
1. stiff ride 2. expensive services 3. possible parts availability issues I own a 997.2 GT3RS and absolutely love it - I feel it is one of the greatest driver's cars ever made, but the ride is stiff (no problem for me, I like stiff rides, but for those th...
Oops, my answers are almost exactly the same as Le Bimb (I'm proud! :-) sorry didn't get
a chance to read all the replies before I posted. Great pics, BTW, Salman. Let us know what you decide, and pictures, pictures, pictures! TM
Thank You Dr. T :-)
Hope all is well with you and yours :-) Actually it was your excellent posts on your GT3 RS Mk2 that allowed me to discover just what a legendary machine it really is. This came up, 61,000 km, USD 100k asking. Don't know the service history but I am sure ...
Geez... What a nice problem to have!
You've chosen three cars from two car companies that are literally catching fire. Hmm. Have you considered a 575M? That's my favorite Ferrari personally. I've never driven one, so can't comment on how they drive, but I sure like the way it looks. Otherwis...
I actually never wrote that the GT3RS "isn't suitable for cruising around town
With the wife." In fact she who must be obeyed was surprised at how tolerable it was; she expected to want to jump out after a few minutes. What I wrote was that typical expectations and tolerances might find it too stiff for daily use. In that context, t...
550/575
are my favorite GT Cars from a design point of view but they have to be stick shifts. As you know very few 575s were spec'ed as stick shifts and actually none of the 575s that came to Kuwait were spec'ed as such. I'd have to find one from the US or Europe...
You could also go for a ...
... Clio RS !!! :-) You can drive it without worrying about anything .. well errr ... maybe except from loosing your license :-) ... Perfect allrounder .. a lot of Champagne fits in the trunk .... If it's dirty .. just find a carwash, no worries about scr...
:-)
I am not as fit and athletic as you are, I'm fat and need more room and more hps to get the car going LoooL :-) S
My vote is for the Boxster GTS
Because you can order it to your specs. Besides, there's something special about 'new car smell' that is intoxicating :) Regards, ED-209
Yay!
The Boxster gets its first vote LooooL :-) so far its 4 vote for the GT3RS vs. 1 for the 550 vs. 1 for the Boxster. I hear you loud and clear on the new car smell and personalizing it. Its such a tough choice, the legend and all ready classic GT3RS 3.8 or...
I've heard...
You can buy "new car smell" by the bottle. Just think, you can get the pre-loved GT3RS and still have that new Subie smell! :-)
LooooL :-)
That I didn't know, the red 3.8 is not there anymore :-(, so the hunt is on. If its not too much trouble would love to see more pics of your 3.8 GT3RS, it will be a good motivator :-) S
A fun weekend drive (no tracking)?
out of those 3? The Ferrari 550 Maranello. Why? You said no tracking. So the other 2 are pointless. Other options: ...
Thanks Arie :-)
for the recommendation, two nice cars, technically great but somehow philosphically or emotionally don't connect with them, if I won one of them in a raffle or something I might keep it. The Ferrari 550 was a purely emotional option since it reminds me th...
the sound of that Aston
is brilliant as well. Tho there ar not many cars that can beat the sound of a Ferrari....
