    pick up my new toy!

    picked it up few days ago. my first F-car!

    still decided to get it even the 430 is coming out soon. i think the CS is sexier than the 430 & at the end it'll be a special model rather than a everyday Ferrari. same exact reason i got the GT3 rather than 997... i love the last best thing!

    Re: pick up my new toy!

    Wow that is a great collection you have there . Ive had my 993TT for quite some time now, and the fact of the matter is i dont want to give it up to newer models not because it is very special. Though not on the limited edition basis it is just perfect, and i think the only three cars that may do what the my turbo does for me are the GT3 CS or GT2... i may pike one of those up very soon be on the lookout

    What is the color of your GT3? Is that metallic seal grey?

    it's funny i have all 3 at the same time. however the GT2 is leaving due to the arrival of CS. it's hard to let it go because GT2 is just so superior in torque that can throw both CS & GT3 in dust.

    Re: pick up my new toy!

    Jenny,
    congrats!

    i'm sure 430 will be a better car in all aspects. however, here in the states u better have really good relationship with F-car dealer or expect to pay more than 50~100K US dollar over sticker to get the first car... not too mention the bugs on the first production year car.

    buying the CS is also sorta ''get in to the club'' thing. therefore for the future Ferrari i'll have a pass . at least this is how it works here. i envy u guys have the proper road to drive in Germany/Belgium... this is the car is built for. in US, car like this is such a waste. u can only drive it for people to turn heads. other than that i'll have to worry about my rear view mirror going over 65mph on fwy. trust me then, why do i need a faster car!

    Re: pick up my new toy!

    I agree with you, getting the new car is nice, but you have to live with the fact it'll have a few bits and niggles that will go wrong, that's for sure.
    Buying an end of production car is a sure thing. And when it's a CS, the novelty never wears off!

    Wow, you have an awesome collection! No i trully envy you. Thats awesome collection you have. I have been thinking of going w/ one of the 3 and a Bently Continental GT for some luxury Which one do you think delivers the most agility and power like a Turbo? I'm afraid of the GT2 and 3 because they will soon be outdated

    DJ,
    for the agility i'll say GT3. power like a turbo of course that'll be the GT2. i don't have much experience with the CS yet since i just picked it up recently. IMO, both GT2 & 3 are very easy to drive around town. i love Porsche because i can drive it & not worry about breaking it... it's a mental thing.

    agree with u actually all 3 cars will soon be outdated, but so what? u can't always get the newest car unless the pocket is deep enough. by getting one of those three u're already at the top of the game so even the new models come out u won't be too far behind in terms of performance.

    I think you already answered your own question, if it was a question.
    GT2 & GT3 are not fashion accessories. You do not drive them for the benefit of onlookers. You drive them for your own fun and satisafaction, and fun and satisfaction never get outdated.
