430 spider more of an occasion.

Qs:

- which GT3 996/997?
- what type of driving: road only or road & track?

997 gen 2, Grey with gurds red etc

No track work, looking for the occasion, I.e. Get in it, feel it, get out of it and feel proud

Thanks. I had voted GT3 RS, however, with your needs the Italian cars should also be in with a good shout. 430 Spider should give a good mix of occasion, noise, and Sunday driving.

NB: you may want to consider if you are happy with a traditional red Ferrari. A friend had one and I felt it got a bit too much attention of the wrong type. But everyone is different and you may not mind that.

Cheers, I know the 430 is a goer, but can't help thinking the RS is a special car, built from a racing heritage.

You are right. It does have the better racing heritage in road trim. It does get under your skin and you may need to be prepared to modify your driving needs once you have one

+1. At first it's great (most attention is positive) but after a few months I got pretty sick of it - sometimes you want to just go out for a drive without getting so much attention. My current car is a rather fetching Grigio and much more subtle - it gets noticed, but is a lot more low key.

Gallardo (550-2)
430 Spyder
430

But I have a thing for Lambos.

Never really liked the 911, so I'm not sure my opinion is valid here.

I don't think this is in the wrong place, reasoned people, reasoned discussion.

I was never a fan of Pork, then the GT2 changed that, hankering after a N/A screamer really, had lots of Turbos.

Thanks for your reply, I too love Lambos

I always think it's nice to mix things up a bit too. That's why I'd go Gallardo and then possibly back to a Porsche at a later date. It gives a bit more perspective on what the strengths and weaknesses are of each marque/model.

GT3. No-brainer. Ferraris are for posers.

That said, I would not deck out a GT3 in the contrasting colours like that photo. It is all just to chavtastic for me.

[krallicious]

I would have said GT3 but for your planned usage, a 430 (manuel if you can) would be a lot better.

[jackal]

For pure driving i'd have the 997 GT3 (although would prefer a 996 GT3 which was my own choice).

Then a manual 430 which is a hlaf decent steer with a great engine and box (must be lowered to Scud height and have scud springs & bar fitted or its just too soft IMO if you are used to porsche GT cars)

Then the GT2.

Then the lambo which from a driving POV is easily the poorest of the bunch IMO.

for you, as you want occasion, i'd go for the 430 but stiffen it above a little as above and fit a proper exhaust that won't lunch your manifolds/engine

Agreed with regards to the suspension mods. Makes it a much better steer and it looks a lot more purposeful as well.

I voted 997.2 GT3 RS – with my own money as well!
