I think you can compare the GT cars to Ferrari. The other models not really.

The modern Ferraris are all turbo charged and automatic though. Gt3 is still manual, light weight, and NA.

But you are also comparing entry level Ferrari to top of the line porsche 911s. Like a top of the line civic type r is going to hold better value than an entry level bmw m240i at 50k.

Like others said an SUV is an SUV. Get the one that’s a better daily with more responsive low end torque.

i’ve had my gt3 for like 3 years and never seen the track. doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it on back roads. I prefer high rpm NA motors though. A turbo motor can’t match the throttle response.

Have owned both (e46 m3 and m2c). While the e46 is a true classic the f87 is better in most ways that matter to daily driving. It’s not like you can’t get another e46 again in the future either. A 100k mile e46 isn’t exactly a collector grade car. Life is too short to drive the same car forever. It’s fun to mix it up.

It’s going to be tough to unload that gt4. Porsche community doesn’t really go for heavily modded stuff like that. You’re going go have to find a buyer that has experience with the product.

the G8x series hasn’t grown on me at all. i traded out my f80 for an f87c and didn’t feel the g80 or 87 were worth having a car payment. I think the g87 has potential with a redesign of bumpers and tail lights, but i doubt bmw changes them for CS. plus theres the weight issue.

but to your question i think a company does make a mesh grill for that area .

the 7 will be a step up in comfort and luxury. but the 5 is pretty damn luxurious too. Between those two i’d go 740i because the B58 is very reliable compared to the v8.

i agree. I’m not a fan of road cars primarily based on downforce with ridiculous wings and canards/vents. I like the understated nature of the 991.2 gt3. Same with ferrari. the 458 looks way better and cleaner than the F8 with all its vents and scoops.

still amazing how many people dont understand how gears work. did they never have a bicycle with gears as a kid? or just leave it first and pedal like a madman everywhere lol.

i let my wife drive my dct M2. she knows how to drive a manual, but i have to clearly explain to never touch the paddles and always see ‘D1, D2, etc’ on the dash to ensure its in automatic mode.

why would you be worried? you can always buy a used G80 in 2027 if you want. I didn’t like the G80, so i sold my f80 for an F87. When i get bored of my f87c i’ll look at another car brand like a caddy blackwing or get a supercharged e92.

Its very hard to compete with porsche if you’re going after the enthusiast market. And then when you get to 150-200k you had the Audi R8 and GT3 to compete with. unless you’re a die hard mercedes fan, you’d pick the GT3 or R8 over the equivalent AMG GTR.

It is interesting they kept the AMG GT around and are now marketing it as a lc500 or 8 series competitor. i can’t imagine those cars have high profit margins for the company. they hardly sell any.

i thought they were offering frozen portimao blue for the 2024 model year ?
