My question is, what would you replace your Ferrari with that comes even close to its character? Reason I ask is because for the same price as those cars I mentioned, you could get an earlier Gallardo, but the attention might get annoying when you're just trying to go out and have fun. For what it's worth, I think you have one of the coolest fleets out there.
My buddy has an F430 and it's pretty amazing to see how much attention that thing gets in a place like South Carolina. It's all been positive though.

I plan to go with a 991.2 gt3 manual. Still NA with 9000rpm. And just as fast. Only thing I'd have to give up is the v8 sound and torque. And like some of the other guys said maintenance costs can get scary with a 10 year Ferrari compared with a new Porsche that still has remaining warranty. That and I don't feel guilty about adding miles to the Porsche. The Ferrari world is extremely mileage sensitive.
That said I'm glad for the Ferrari experience. But now that I've done it I'm ready for something more sensible.
