    I have driven a base huracan, evo, performante, and sto. Huracan and evo are not great at all not even close to McLaren and Ferrari steering and how precise they feel. Idk where you get the idea that they are. I found the performante to be a better all around car/track car and my favorite because the STO is so compromised.

    To each his own I guess.

    Back to my original point, unless you have unlimited funds it’s silly to own a 296 AND a 720s or 750s because they are basically the same car from an experience perspective. A NA v10 or v12 or even an older gated manual car provide a different and unique experience

    Well…. It is silly to own any of these cars if you are applying logic to the equation.

    Speaking of silly, I own a pre-GPF 812 and 296 GTS. The 296 does sound good. Not make your spine tingle good like the NA V12 @ 8000 rpm, but good nonetheless! :)
