I didn't trade in my 997 GT3 for a 991 because I wanted the more analog car. But ended up buying a GT4 to have something softer/but-still-GT. I hope you end up driving the car a lot! I have 66k miles on both cars combined and I would feel I didn't get my money's worth if I drove them less. |

It always seemed like the Gen2 turbo was a "mini-Ferrari"

For mini people. I tried to like them, but just can't fit. And I owned a Miata. I'm not abnormally tall either, just 6'2"

As a 991.2 owner I can promise you that you'll love it.
I've driven the 458 and it is great (I actually would love to add one, so let me know if your sale falls through ha...been eying a 458 or 430 Scud as a long-term second car) but I legitimately feel the GT3 is the more fun drivers car...458 wins for the attention and intangible nature of being a Ferrari.

in Missouri you have 6 months to use your tax credit regardless if you trade in or sell private. in state or out of state doesn't matter.

This is such a bullshit description. Yes, "sports-car" has evolved over the years, it's not "stuck" on what was a sporty 2-seater back in 1950. I consider it to generally be any car that prioritizes performance over utility and other factors. They are bought to enjoy the performance and thrill, vs. transporting people/things. It doesn't need to "only" carry 2 people, but that's obviously part of the utility factor, and to that effect, we can divide the segment down into more specialized sections/parts...

The classic definition of a Sports Car is as follows: - 2 seat - open top - manual gearbox - light weight - nimble (handling fun being the primary objective) - radio What you have with your Ferrari's and Lamborghini's is much more the classic definition of a GT or Grand Touring Car. Correct. See above. You define things the way you like, I'll define them the way I like. To me, calling both a Diablo and a Miata a Sports Car isn't specific enough. |
