Need Advice Please

I'm torn right now having to decide whether I should trade in my 2010 tt cab pdk and my 2011 e92 m3 for a brand new red italia 458. So I'll just have my f430 and 458 italia in my stable. A customer ordered this italia and backed out. It's brand new. Should i pull the trigger? I really like my tt though. Will italia be faster than my tt pdk?

+1. That seems like a better choice.

I thought about giving in f430 but I just ordered custom colored Novitec nf3s. I shelled out 13k. Novitec is making them as we speak so can't back out. Hm.. I will really miss my tt. Decisions decisions.....

Get the 458 if you want. Keep it for 6 months to a year, sell it and get all your money back and buy a used 2010 TT again after they depreciate another 10k.

Do it
The 458 is worlds better than the 911
I'm keeping my 997TT but wouldn't hesitate to sell it if I had to choose between it and my 458
Feels like blasphemy to write this as I've been a Pcar man for so long but that's just how great the 458 is

I would recommend to keep the F430 and TT. I had owned a F430/F1, F430/6Speed and a Scuderia. Believe it or not, I just took a big turn and came back with a 2011 911S, my sixth Porsche. I did have a test drive of a TT, the ridiculous power is big "WOW". But I feel that pursuing more horse power is a never ending story.

You have the best combo in terms of a F430 to rev up to 8500 RPM and a TT with monstrous torque to play with. In three years, the next variation of 458 will be available, and the chase never ends.

Enjoy what you have now, you are the lucky guy to own both of them.
