The only real reason I would see is just to save the CGT from the abuse......

I think you are right. I have a lot of fun in the GT, and I am a bit worried about trying anything else as it will be very hard to measure up to such an incredible machine.

I was thinking about buying a GT3RS, too.

I finally decided that it would be too much duplication in the garage.

Maybe a Bentley Continental GT convertible, instead.

I would say get a GT3 only because you might wreck your CGT and have more damage then the GT3 costs to begin with. If I were in that position, I'd rather wreck the GT3 and just get a new one.

Ferrari 599GTB seems like a nice 'GT' car.

To be honest, i think the 599 is kind of ugly and nothing special (in terms of looks).... if u want a "GT" car perhaps a 612 Scaglietti, SL65, or even a Ferrari 430 spyder or Bentley GT.

dearest Paul,
after witnessing you car in "action"...
up and close...
stay with what you got...
and buy the GT3 as well!

oh and seeing the car down at the local soup plantation parking lot this past Friday afternoon was priceless...
first, to see it parked next to the plumbing truck without a care in the world...
second, to see the look on the plumbers faces when they came out and got in their truck...
why?
they had no idea what they were looking at...
had to tell them what it was...
good to see you out and about in it!
whatever the decision...
you'll enjoy it!
your love of cars will appreciate whatever you pick...
so you can't go wrong...
Sincerely,
