Which one would you buy? 488, 720, Performante, GT2RS (POLL)

BTW- Who would ever hand their car over to a valet. They would have to rip the keys from my dead, cold hands.

 

My daughter was HR director for a valet service and if you heard the stories the drivers tell about how they abuse exotics, you would never hand the car over.

 

I think @Traveller said it very well. In my case none of these choices really pulls at my heart strings. I'm just not in love with the 488- don't love the looks nor the sound. The McLaren is an absolute monster and looks much better in person but yet somehow it leaves me cold. I think its the sound and the fact they don't make their own engine. I'm just not a Lamborghini guy, but if there ever were a car to tempt, it would be the Performante. What a beast! And while I respect Porsche, their cars do nothing for me. I'd go for the 488 VS - but as we don't currently know exactly what it will be, I would go with something like 458 or F12.

 

I dont think anyone said you cant enjoy these cars on the streets, heck that's why we have them however driving on the streets wont invoke the thrill of tracking.

 

He's living vicariously through me...

 

ahhh. so bribe gets the gt3rs out front. That's the difference I guess. No bribe needed for lambo/ferrari/mclaren.

Come by monterey car week some time and see which cars get the attention

 

someone else responded earlier within the thread. this is FerrariChat and I would be surprised if any other car was polled higher then the Ferrari. My 488 arrived last month and it is truly amazing.... However I have driven the 720s and WOW..... that car is freakin insane. I would guess if you went on another forum and polled the same question...... the results would be completely different. I still have Ferrari running through my blood and not ready to switch brands. this is my 4th car and there is something about Ferrari that makes me smile. I consider the Ferrari as movable art......and art is to move you emotionally .... and Ferrari still does. I also say,,, right or wrong. Ferrari buyers, buy because they can.... not because they are drivers. MOST, not all Ferrari owners do not drive the cars like they were made to be driven. However, Porsche and McLaren owners... DRIVE their cars. I happed to REALLY enjoy and DRIVE my Ferrari's. I have had for 1 month and over 1,000 miles ... Not a bad issue t have... we are all very blessed ... enjoy my friends... you can not go wrong with any of these toys

Ain't nobody there who gives a damn about your car.
Though my 'vette used to get a lot of attention!

 

Agreed but it is interesting still that other got more combined votes than the 488 gtb in a Ferrari forum.

 

A number of my friends now have a 488 and 720s. Some people just like to have the cool cars. They have a set budget per month how much they want to spend and keep going in and out of cars or collecting cars. They started off with a 488 and added 720s later. Some had 488 and sold it or are going to sell it while they take delivery of 720s (not because they don't like the 488 but rather they had their fun with it so on to something else).

I wouldn't consider them real drivers in the sense that people talk on these forums.

 

997 GT3RS

 

Yeah it is 20 degrees here my car hasn't seen light in several weeks.

 

Nah no one gives a **** about your piece of **** vette. Lol

 

Considering you seem to provoke people; you seem to get irritated very easily.

btw; I don't have much experience as you do with valet's. Closest valet place is 30 miles in one direction, 40 and 60 miles in another direction and don't even know if there is a valet for a couple of hundred miles in the other direction. Not that I need to justify it to you but I don't think the valet personnel cringe when they see me coming.

 

Cannot understand why the personal attacks are necessary. Paradox that those who are the most abrasive are the ones so easily offended.

 

" If you want excitement you need to be on a track.Driving around the roads in your city in an exotic is not too exciting at least for me." ... " I can't say that it is exciting to drive to dinner".

 

Bewildered anyone could think this.

 

i feel supercars are awesome anywhere from your garage, cars and coffee, drive around the block, on line, even an old school poster on your wall. but if you really want to distinguish one supercar's ability from the other, you need to test them on the track.
