997 GTS to V12 Vantage - Talk me out of it
Discussion
Might not be that long before a 599 is in the price bracket. Silverstone have got a Ferrari auction today...this 599 failed to sell (like a lot of other lots)...high bid was £82k. Never driven one but a common comment is they’re massive! Have to say I love the look of them and that colour combo with the carbon seats is stunning.

Really love the 599 and that ones a beaut. They are absolutely huge having sat in a few, but now I’m keeping the 911, huge may we’ll be the way to go!c4sman said:
If money allows, it’s a good one on the list, together with the scaglietti and 599
I have to be brutally honest, I didn’t forsee a happy ending on the basis of your summation of the auto V12 Vantage.I regret to say the 599 gets mixed reviews too ...

Few, if indeed any, companies manage to pull off the fast, feelsome, tactile and engaging sports/GT drivers car so adeptly as Porsche.
You’re probably right, the breakthrough is the Porsche is staying for good unless I go bankrupt!
Anything I buy next must be incremental and therefore doesn’t need to hit the impossible sweet spot I hoped the Aston would. I would now accept something big and heavy so it contrasts the 911 rather than competes with it.
599 is out of budget reach for now BTW!
