    It’s been 2 years now!! Thanks again for all the Fchat members who helped me make a decision in 2022.

    No regrets, I truly looove my Cali30HS :). So gorgeous from all angles + handling + performances still at a very high level + luxury + sound + N.A. engine + coupe/convertible at the same time, …:cool:

    ohh man, I miss my 2013 Cali 30 HS, even thought about another one. I personally liked the NA better than the T. I also think it looks better, especially the hood.

    What, no pics of the car?!?

    Congrats. We're 8+ years and 33+K miles into our Cali adventure, and it's still a joy to drive. I agree with Rob, NA is the way to go!

    Wow! I drove like an old lady for the first year. Not that I'm Charles LeClerc at this stage!

    Yup. I've come a long way fashion-wise thanks to intervention by F-chat faithful such as yourself.

    I'm not the best to ask as an old school classic guy I haven't driven comparable models. If I remember right my thoughts a little Ferrari has dialed in more understeer, it doesn't have the point and shoot (but also not the ohh ****s) like the 328 and 355. The 2015 GT3 was more raw no understeer, but that might be more by design GT vs. Cali cruiser, not all Porsche vs. Ferrari although some might claim that. I loved driving the GT3 more, but I loved looking at and cruising around in the Cali more. The Cali was such a fun car and loved the roof operation, you could put roof up and down quickly at a stop light.
