Well, you're really the expert as you've likely driven them while we are generally limited to watching and reading about them, but I would go with the Maclaren 650s. I actually prefer the Carrera GT but the reputation for it being an incredibly difficult car to drive would be enough to prevent me driving it on public streets. If I were looking for a track car, however, I would go with it.

And still I would take the risk with my life if it means I could drive a Carrera GT. Dangerous car to drive and stiff clutch but what a adrenalin rush it would be to drive.
Anybody who says they wouldn't take a Carrera GT if given the opportunity then they don't know just how good that car is. Widely regarded as better than the F40 and have the sexiest car exhaust tone even better than 360 Challenge Stradale W/Tubi   | |

CGT - investment piece
458 and 650S - the hooning machines

I think the Mclaren is great performance but will drop the most in price, The CGT will be the best value but the ferrari would be great performance and i think it would hold its value well.

both 458 and 650S will drop in value rapidly... for the next 10 years.
CGT imo is still one class above the 458 and 650S. CGT being the hyper limited production hyper car, the 650S a supercar for masses and the 458 being a limited volume low weight special.
CGT - for investment/ enjoyment
458 - track day
650 S - street machine / track day
end of the day, its how much money you want to lose for your enjoyment!

I think Carrera GT is in different class/era 
Porsche Carrera GT: US$448,000
Ferrari 458 Italia: US$227,325
McLaren 650S: US$265,000

rennlist forums
6speedonline forums
ferrarichat forums
luxury4play forums
If you get the Porsche I would wash your car/buff/detail for a opportunity to have a test drive  | |

I'd get a 458S/650S as a track car/ regular driver and (if your budget allows it) a Ford GT/993 TT

Which ever number is more limited is the one you should buy on an investment perspective.

I would go with the 458 as I prefer the look of the car the most
but a part of me thinks the 650s might be more fun to drive out of the two
im not a fan of the look of the cgt nor its reputation of being hard to drive so it wouldn't even be considered

Thanks for all your help guys i think ive narrowed it down to the 458 and the CGT.
Ill let you know what i decide! As for SharkTank asking why i ask these forums; I ask them since i have been around these forums a long time and i feel like the people on these forums love cars, not just the image a car gives you or as some say the "Baller status" but for the pure love of cars and how they can make someone feel when you are driving.
Cheers again guys thanks!

For anyone who doesn't know, Op is actually a car guy, not just another rich dude with money. He had another username as well but forgot what it was.
And I would choose CGT as well.. That car is pretty much legendary
