[Braces]

I hate you too. The 458 is my dream car. Guess you'll be hanging out with the snobs on Ferrarichat? Great car. Enjoy.

When i saw that you got rid of the GTR i was like "NOOO!!!!"...than i scroll down and it's a Ferrari..."OH SHIIIETT!" haha

That's so cool, your a true car guy, Ferrari and a Toyota side by side sharing the same driver...don't see that too often!

GTRs are depreciating as the market is saturated with them. I would be taking a bigger loss after the 2017's come this summer and people dump their 2015/2016's for them. I got out ok.. i lost about 10k in depreciation in 3 years but i probably should have sold it last year.

NA engines are skyrocketing in value. Look at the current GT3 and GT3RS..as porsche is moving all 911s to turbocharging the purists are clinging to the last NA cars.

The Mclaren 12c and 650s took an absolute dump in the market

In europe/UK 458's have already started rising in price as many owners just aren't as happy with their 488 turbos. They don't sound as good and throttle response is diminished. I could sell my car easily for $50k over what i paid for it over there.



DD wise the GTR was way better. The 458 with its ceramic brakes (that don't work until hot), carbon bucket seats, low stance make it tough to DD. That and its LOUD, way louder than my catless GTR, and gets attention ALL THE TIME. The GTR just makes it effortless to go fast while sipping a latte.

But stepping into the 458 is an event. It feels like a racecar. Stepping back into a GTR after feels like stepping into a fast SUV.

The GTR is an amazing car but has way to many electronics controlling everything. This is only from what I have read since I have never been lucky enough to drive one. Besides the Enzo the 458 is the sexiest car anyone has ever made. Leaving the classics out of the discussion of course. Congrats on owning one of my favorite cars ever made. I am very jealous. It looks amazing in black. Touch it a couple times for me please. lol

Sweet!!!!!

And here I am shopping for a 69 Dart or Duster for a weekend toy.

Every time I see these type of posts I'm reminded I'm clearly not in the right profession.
Congrats! Definitely would go with the 458 over a GTR. And it looks amazing in black!

[KR-S]

I'm not even a fan of Ferrari, but I too would definitely take a 458 over an R35 GT-R.

Probably not a surprise given that the 458 costs $100,000 more than the GT-R.

Lol @ people like why did you get rid of the GTR for Ferrari..

[Vracer111]

Sweet combo....FR-S for daily and 458 for special/fun times. Not that I would ever afford or be able to own one, but a 288 GTO would be my dream Ferrari, followed by the F12tdf....

[continuecrushing]

yeah, 458 over gtr anyday

[ajaxthebetter]

So does the FRS have to S the Ferrari's D every night or what to pull off that roommate?

288 GTO? really? the F12tdf is very nice but I am not to fond of the rounded back half of the car. Just to be clear I would own any one of them. They are all gorgeous. Ferrari have made much nicer cars though. LaFerrari, 458 speciale, and FXX series are just a few.

Nice..new to you car.

Now let's work on that outdoor, twilight, white balance in camera.
