@Gibbo After reading all that I feel you can’t put a price on feeling special driving a certain car. Judging
@kindai comments how he had driven the lambo, how it’s made him feel it just seems to me that, if you purchase a car for a vast amount of money £100k+ it needs to make you feel like that. Whether it’s the best supercars or worst, whether it does Nurburgring lap in 6minutes or 9minutes, it should not matter.
The feeling again, you can’t put a price on and that’s what would make it for me personally. Growing up all I ever knew of was Ferrari’s or Lamborghinis as the go to supercars. Just my opinion but I think that would or should be the ideal next step for yourself. You’ve had Porsche’s, fast track cars etc
Exotic is the next step.
M3 for £20k+ I’d sell if desperate. Still, market is a bit strange at moment so wise to hold on.
A wildcard, but have you not considered a Ferrari F360 challenger stradale?
Don't like 360, feels a bit kit car ish, sorry if offends anyone, had the opportunity to buy one when I got my CSL as they were similar money back then, looking back I should have done considering now they are double the money, but there again so are CSL's but the BMW was a far better drive than the 360 F1 Modena at the time.
Now F430 I love those, but they have a lot of weaknesses and though it might sound daft a nice one would set me back 90k, probably not lose a penny, but though I would be happy I'd also not be happy as its really miles behind the SVR in so many ways and the car does need to be a good daily and not throwing huge bills every ten minutes just for giggles and laughs because Ferrari.
What I did like about the Huracan, it was a thrill just cruising in it, was always sounds awesome and a real event. The GT3 sounded even better, but only when you were properly heading towards 9000rpm and though it felt a proper sorted car to drive, its still a 911 at heart. However I did not drive Huracan in Corsa and I was really missing the inertia shifts that the GT3 has in PDK Plus, and I think Corsa mode activates inertia shift.
GT3 is head choice, Huracan is heart choice I feel both are also sensible as both good daily cars.
I've got months, no rush, going to visit dealerships local to me, sit down, have a chat, really investigate running cost, warranties and what they cover etc.
If 570S made an epic sound, I feel the choice would be so easy as I like the looks, don't mind the slightly naff interior as you just know the handling and performance will be mega, just why oh why it sounds not so special, thats the issue its just another engine, yes its a V8 but it really nothing special, yes the power delivery is a bit spikey, thank god really otherwise could be very boring.
But the V10 in the Huracan is an engine from the gods, as is the 3.8/4.0l flat 6 in the GT3, the 458 is also a very special motor too. But the 570S its meh and for me I love a good sounding car hence my car history recently and its the motor that really raises the hairs on the back of the neck more so than anything else.
Admittedly I got in the Lambo and it was just a wow factor car from even pressing the starter button, though visibility is still a bit crap, its better than a Gallardo Coupe and the pedals are way better, my size 10's fit fine in normal shoes. The Porsche though has the best driving position and visibility.
Anyone just gonna drive them all, GT3/570S are easy to afford, 458/Huracan but more a stretch but hey finance or I go wild, get desperate sell the M3 too and buy a new Huracan EVO and try to get into a Performante.
