Porsche GT3 or Ferrari F430?

drove a 2007 GT3 this weekend, wow... This car screams like few cars I have ever driven. Everything about it was perfection. Now, would you pick a GT3 over a F430? If so why? Thinking about buying the GT3 and would never track it, just as a daily driver.

Based on those 2 choices, it sounds like your budget is around $100k. For that price, you can find better options for a great daily driver. If you are open to suggestions, I'd be happy to provide them. If not, then go for the GT3. Ask the Ferrari forums the same question, though, LOL.

F430. I am a through and through Porsche junkie and have at least 25 911s since high school not counting a handful full of race and GT3 cup cars, I got converted to Ferrari around 2002ish. Still keep a 911 around, but for pure weekend fun Ferrari 8s trump GT3 in every single category except reliability (newer get closer) and maintenance hassles. Those don't matter if you are within your budget here and this car is purely for weekend fun.

That said, for a daily driver your outta yo mind to think about using a 430. My 458 was super easy and perhaps doable as a DD. Buy a cheap 997.2 for DD duties and the 430 for fun makes much more sense.
