911 is the best out of all those. I'd trade the 911 for the 14' GT3, keep the M6 since it's a powerful and comfortable vert. The California is the chick magnet, being that you are married, I'd say it's the least useful. Lol! If flip the California for a fully loaded 15' M4. That car is going to be stupid awesome.

All 3 are awesome.

Out of the 3 I prefer the aesthetics & concept of 991; that kit & wheels makes all the difference, but I'd image the cali must sound the best unmodified (I never been that keen on the sound of the flat 6).

A 991 GT3 would look good next to the M6

I saw this video earlier today. By the way this chick says OMG pretty well at 4:20.

The F10 M5 is a great car, but it doesn't fill in the need for fun performance like the E60 M5 did. Which is probably the reason why a few of us are picking up other brands.

One thing I liked about the Cali is the double paddle pull for neutral. If M felt such a need for creep mode, then they should have added the double paddle pull to it. Would of fit the car very well.

Keep the Cali for a thousand miles or so. Then maybe sell for something different.

M+(F or L)+P =

Yup Dave. Agreed on all points with exception of the replacement...it would be a turbo S :-) hope your liking life on the East Coast.

Now that's some good math :-)

Exactly my plan. Maybe through holidays then sell. It is harder than it looks because in person the Ferrari just looks amazing! Indrive the 991 and say "yeah..this is IT!" Then I look at the Ferrari and go "wow!" Tough for sure. Got a REALLY great deal below wholesale so I'm going to enjoy it for a bit.

BEAUTIFUL stable sir. Much respect and envy

Not sure I would dump the Ferrari for a BMW not a good trade even though the red robin looks like a chick car(: But he'll it's a Ferrari no matter how you slice it. Jim Ellis we can cut a deal for two GT3's. My other buddy will take delivery of a Mexico blue GT3 in March only two special orders they have done for the 2014 because they have to shut the line down. I would do the GT3 over the turbo resale will keep the GT3 around for awhile.

Dude, if we can hook up 2 GT3 orders I am in. I bet we can find a couple allocations at smaller dealers around the country. I was reading the other day that the 991 GT3 beats the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 on the track. That car is just amazing. Literally the perfect car.

And yeah, a Ferrari is a Ferrari through and through. Kim wanted one of these before I bought my 991 and I immediately said no. Because it was sitting next to the 430 and 458. Ironically, now having the opportunity to own and drive it for a few days, I truly like it. It has every ounce of Ferrari personality.

[EdM5]

Great stable!
Keep the M6 and the P.

[boots]

Great car to flip and make your ends. Yep it looks and sounds good. My neighbor has one and a 458. Out of the 3 id sell the Cali and keep the p car. He'll sell all three and get a gumpert! Now you'd really be badazz bro. Anyway congrats on another badazz car.

Going back to Cali, going to back to Cali, I dont think so............ what up bro --- the F car is cool and Ive never owned one but its just not the right F car (for me). You know how I feel about the 991- a real race like car with sound and handling to match.

Ironic that I just got my first vert too- a tuned M157 twin turbo benz that weighs ONLY LOL 4k lbs. This car has about 600 hp at the wheels and 680 tq- I love the M157 tunes.

Hey brother- believe it or not, it was in the 40's in Newport last night with the wind blowing LOL.... I sat in a bar for........ 7 hours and watched some good games. Im so glad OSU lost- LOL

[FLOMACKS]

you're not done until you have the Turbo S and the 458.

Everything else is just....everything else.....

Dude Mike, first I'd like to say thanks for coming back on here , I love your threads. They always liven things up around here.

Second, I hear you on the Turbo S. What's not to love about it? 0-60 in like 0.3 seconds and that retractable front splitter I would kill for. Lol! The GT3 just seems like the pure driving experience to me, since you love that NA 3.8L so much.

This is why I'd pick the GT3 over the Turbo, but that's just me.

Sell the Ferrari

Hey thanks Dave! Great to talk to you again. I like to stir up a little s**t and then jump off for a while-lol!

Man, I agree 100% on the P cars. I LOVE that Turbo S and had myself convinced that was what I wanted then I saw a video (like the one above-ha!) of a white GT3 and when they started it up I was hooked!

That car is driving perfection. Can you imagine the roar for that engine at 9K RPMS behind you?!-wow!

And DANG IT Vic-upstaged me again!-lol!

Yep. Same feelings here. Not the one I would ever walk into a dealer and buy. I actually went down to the sale to look at a 997 GT3 but it was a POS and then I looked up and there she was. You know how it goes...sometimes you wind up with something on accident.

Surprisingly, it really does have the heart and should of a Ferrari. The thing is super responsive and the sound is seriously the best I have ever heard OEM or aftermarket. So, you do get that Ferrari feel driving it but it is not like a 991. As we've said 1000 times before and as you said above, it's like a real race car. Can't drive the Ferrari like that. Only a 458 perhaps.

Car is gorgeous man! I came very close to scooping up a white SLS AMG at the sale. I'm going to assume that it was bye bye M5 or M6 then. And if that's the case then you did in fact "LOSE weight".

Good to talk to you brother!
