Great choices, not a huge 911 fan but that does look special however I'd be tempted by a F430 or a Gallardo at that kind of money. Does this generation of GT3 still have the Mezger engine or is it prone to the usual 997 engine maladies?
GT3s have Mezger engines, unaffected by the well known 997 issues.Two great choices. Can't argue with the GT3 as a reliable sports/track car (although I use a C6 Corvette for the same task, just so cheap to maintain and f'ing quick). I ache for the same generation Quattroporte but in GTS form. I'm torn between keeping my XJR and waiting a few more years or trade the Jag in now. I need that sound!!!

Best £100k garage yet IMO. As others have stated, who wants half a dozen cars that you'll hardly get to drive? A proper 911 weekend\track toy which and an Italian GT, perfect.
Also some very strange and I dare-say misinformed posts on this thread. The 911 GT3 has a different engine which doesn't suffer from the same engine woes as the normal 911. It's also not a new Porsche bought for the badge so not sure what some are going on about, it's a rare and sought after 997 GT3 which has a very high chance of actually appreciating in value.
The Maserati is also not new (for £25k I wished!) and is probably quite close to the bottom of it's depreciation curve. It's also infinitely more interesting than a lot of the German offerings in this sector.
Good choice OP.

Hmmmm, interesting and weird. Porsche 911, Audi RS4, you seem to like your "engines" in all the wrong places, up front, in the rear. Well MrBarry, I came across this in the Urbandictionary:

"a Barry
while performing Anal sex with your partner you proceed to donkey punch them and while unconscious you give them an arabian mask take pictures and Set it as there default social networking site of choice picture.
Last week I gave Jane a Barry and she hasnt talked to me since."
Strange world.
Personally I think the Quattroporte is a fabulous choice.
