Supercar Choices Qty vs Quality?

Thought I would spark some debate. As you may have seen in my prior posts, I just purchased an F40 and a 599 GTO. But at the time I was also considering a stable of cars with approximately equal cost of the GTO and F40. I'm wondering how many of you would have gone the qty route? When I say quantity, by no means are the cars listed slugs. They are simply in a different price/availability band.

My Purchase: 1991 F40, 3000 miles, 2011 599 GTO 2600 miles

My option A: 458 Spider, Carrera GT, Ford GT and 16M

My Option B: 458 Spider, McLaren MP412C, Carrera GT and 16M

As you can see it was a tough decision. The list of cars above was compelling and they were all sitting there for the taking.

Quality. Had you went for choices a, b, you'd just be prolonging your wait for an F40.

Me personally, I would've chose option A or B. you really can't go wrong with either but I imagine you aren't going to drive the F40 as much as you would a 458 or McLaren.

Omg what a choice.

The purist in me says your purchase. The greed in me says option A only because I can't stand the 12c in option B.

Assuming that moneys not really an object, I'd up my limit and replace the 16m with the F40 and go with option A.

I would ditch the options you've listed and purchase a Carrera Gt and Ford Gt and its the quality and not quantity.

I definitely would have gone with Option B! I can't believe how expensive the 599 GTO and a good F40 are!

having never driven any of those listed I have no idea, but i would love to own a CGT and an FGT on shape, looks, creed, and sound.
