considering fuel economy and tank size the Ferrari will allow you to drive 20% further under legal conditions. A range of approximately Seattle to sun peaks ski resort listening to the engine.

I assume he was like 95% of the Maclaren and Ferrari owners in the lower mainland. I am very pleased to be proven wrong! :)

458 spec

CGT for an investment for sure but as a driver, meh. I rode in one on track at 9/10th's and it was pretty nice but not the craziest shit ever like some people say. Kinda rough to be honest. I think the hype outweighs the car but it has the third pedal so purists(myself included) gravitate to it. Also very limited production. I like it for some reasons but then I don't for others. Out of your 3 choices I would probably choose the 458.

Have you narrowed it down to these 3 choices or are you open to others? I'm kinda stuck on the F430 Scud after driving one so I'd lean towards that over the 458. Just personal preference though.

Good luck!

underscore 07-18-2014 10:19 AM

CGT is the only one that really gets me excited, that said I'd be test driving all of them and then a few other cars to boot, just to be sure I'm going to be satisfied with the purchase.

OP wanna be friends?

at the limits you can probably tame the 458 and 650s with greater ease or you can drive the CGT and make the car dance like senna

And I would choose CGT as well.. That car is pretty much legendary

Pretty sure it was dtox89... he had a superleggera before I think?

McLaren!

That moment when you realize quite how wealthy a certain participant in this thread is.

Shark Tank 07-18-2014 08:36 PM

Every rich "new money" person buys a 458. If the Mclaren was P1 it might be in consideration. The Carrera GT would get the attention from every car enthusiast and non car enthusiast. The respect of driving a Carrerra GT even though most dont have the balls to instead they just hard park them in their garages.

Why do I have a feeling the people who chose the 458 never heard a Carrerra GT in person with test pipes. Think you would change your mind instantly

dared3vil0 07-18-2014 08:38 PM

Maybe everybody who is in the market for a super car buy's a 458 because it's a fantastic car?

flagella 07-18-2014 09:46 PM

CGT exhaust note has always been one of my favorite. Had to listen to it again seeing this thread.

saucywoman 07-19-2014 12:01 PM

As much as I love mclaren, I cast my vote for the Carrera too. Whatever you get, please bring to our summer meet :thumbsup: :)

KO7 07-19-2014 01:02 PM

Thank goodness whatever you're going to end up buying won't have an N sign on the back.

I think McLaren isn't anything special for their mid-range supercars. MP4 12C, 650S, they're kinda like nah...

The McLaren F1 was legendary, engineed by Gordon Murray. I still think Honda was an idiot for refusing to be a part of McLaren F1 project.
Gordon Murray asked Honda 3 times and they kept saying no.
and the P1 is pretty nice too.

Shark Tank 07-19-2014 06:10 PM

Don't get me wrong I think the 458 is ferrari best looking new supercar but the reason everyone buying it because they're not any options. The FF looks like ass, the California is a trophy wife's/goal digger car. The laferrari out of reach even for most millionaires same goes for the 599 GTO. What options you have left are 458 that's the reason everyone and their rich cousin buy it.

Harvey Specter 07-19-2014 06:51 PM

Bud, the f458 is one of the most refined supercars around hence the reason why most ballers have a 458 in their collection.
