    Okay I have a very good problem and I'm looking for your opinions! I'm in the market to buy 3 new supercars, one is 100% going to be the 2018 GT3RS. The other two are where decisions have to be made. I want to get a V12 car and a V8, heres the two scenarios I was thinking of.. number 1 Ferrari 812 Superfast and McLaren 720S. Number 2 is the 488 GTB and a V12 DB11. I'm posting this here because either way I'm getting a prancing horse. I think #1 has more performance capability and option #2 has better looking cars. These won't be daily drivers although I will be driving them often. Also if you have any other recommendations let me know. Thanks!:)

    Hopefully you have some connections, as the 18 GT3RS, 812 and 720S are typically "need to be on the list" cars. Good list though.

    That's what I was thinking. My advice would be to buy a Carrera GT with the money. With the rest leftover, get one of the last Dodge Viper ACRs...

    I like the CGT idea!
    Good point gator - guess I still like giving people the benefit of the doubt but I'd be lying if I said that thought hadn't crossed my mind.

    Walking in off the street to buy an 812 isn't going to be easy.

    Agreed. My votes would be get an F12berlinetta for your V12 fix. Id hope the Porsche is stick. Then for the mid engine car- either a 488 Spider- or wait for 720S convertible or 650S or if you can get it the 675LT. I am just too biased to Ferrari so I would go with the 488 but any of them would be good. Then you'd have a rear engine stick car. A NA V12 super GT and a mid engine paddle maniac. You could get the F12b now and then get on the list for the 812.

    I used to work with puma and we've partnered with Ferrari and thats how I have connections in that regard same goes for adidas and Porsche. But I'd have to wait over a year for the 720s

    I haven't purchased any cars in awhile but my businesses have been great lately and I've always had a passion for cars so why not add a few?

    458 Speciale and TDF. Simple.

    Oh wait I might not have read the criteria correctly.

    Sorry, I'm not buying it.

    A Puma connection isn't getting you an 812.

    Why don't you tell us about the cars in your profile, or better yet post a picture with today's USA Today on your 430. If I'm wrong I'll own it.

    +1.

    Ferrari factory employees can't even buy cars...only F1 drivers get that privilege. There is no "connection" that will get you an 812.

    Tough crowd. I would buy an F40 and put lambo-style scissor doors on it, but that's just me.
