    Thank you for the kind words. The 997 Turbo was an amazing car, I purchased the car new in 08' and added the mods to make it more unique. During the last year of ownership with the TT the F430 prices began to fall rapidly around 2010-11 so I sold the TT for a F430 coupe.

    I do miss the Porsche but I can honestly say that once you go Ferrari its hard to go back!

    I am just in awe of the 458 Italia, wow, just mind-boggling how advanced and fun this car is to drive.

    Since this thread is about DREAM cars I would love to be able to have a PORSCHE Turbo (or GT3) and a 458 Italia, that would be ideal.

    WOW, the thing absolutely immaculate, got any more pics of the interior? I used to have one of these but sold it due to its unreliability, if you decided to take it out for a drive on a nice day theres no guarantee it would start, thousands of dollars later, new ecu etc etc the fault goes away then 1 week later its back, I was over it and never regretted selling it, then of course there was the horrible unreliable suspension which gave no end of trouble plus a whole list of other things, however I have to admit that seeing yours is giving me regretful feelings and I didnt think that would ever happen :(

    I want a F430 to but I dont think I could sell a 911 Turbo to get one, in my eyes there is just nothing better, Im obsessed with them to the point it has become an illness, Yes thats a verrrrry pretty 458, thats out of my pocket unfortunately but you are right, you are seriously blessed to own such a beautiful stunning car and if I could afford it I would probably get one, I never liked them when they first came out but the more you see of them the more that feeling starts to go away and you realise how amazing they are, it has to be red though of course, what Ferarri doesnt ;)

    Thanks mate.

    Sorry to hear that yours didn't go well. Was it a normal 4200?
    Ours has been very solid, nothing but regular services. It doesn't get driven often (as you can tell from the mileage), but starts right up every time. The car just went into dealer for a major recently and freshened up all the sticky buttons, its as good as new now! The gransports are known to be reliable, Rob Lay would agree on that! Maybe because the GS is the very last on the production line, so all the bugs have been fixed.

    Nah it was a 3200GT, sticky buttons lol, yeh I had that problem aswell, I didnt like the car that much, it was far from perfect and I thought the quality was terrible, especially for the price you pay for them BUT yours look absolutley stunning, its truly beautiful, thanks for sharing the pics

    Not yet, but the target is set. I've been very fortunate to have tracked 2 different Scuds at Road America during different events and am very greatful towards each one's respective owner. I am lucky to have also had the oppertunity to drive both a 355 Berlinetta and a 458 and even though those cars as well have very special attributes and their own character- I can't get over the rawness and brutality of the Scuderia. Someday I hope to track my own!

    Mike & Austin- A sincere thank you once again

    One of them. (TR) I really would love to find a F-40 that needs some love along with a Porsche 930 that needs a good home. I promise them all kinds of attention after I finish with the Redhead.

    One way to know if you actually own your "dream car" or not is by how many years you are willing to own it, once you buy it.

    Even though I've owned some exotic cars over the years, this is the car I've kept for over 15 years. No plans to ever sell it.

    It puts a smile on my face whenever I take it out for a drive.

    The G is a great car! My old one from a couple of years ago is on ebay for twice what I paid for it. Oh....it's twin turbocharged now. lol

    My dream car is a bright red Ferrari with black interior that's as close to a race car as is legal on the street. Job done!
