Oh no i knew what you mean my friend. I just didn't want you thinking that because it's the least expensive Ferrari that it's anything but brilliant in all aspects.

Like I said, the mission of the 2RS versus the 458 is very different. Now, if they come out with the 458 Scud, well.....depending on it's price point it might just lose some 'value' to me- in MY minds-eye. Makng the 2RS- again, to ME- a better value.

DK- next time, I'm driving!!

On a serious note, Porsche NEEDS to come out with something to compete against the 458. It's going to be incredibliy challenging; but I know they can do it.
You can take it for a spin, but I am warning you, it can do more harm than good for you.

I would think its a lot easier to get a 458 versus finding the right Carrera GT. But given the chance, I'd own a CGT first.

I'd be ecstatic with a mkIIGT3RS, 458 and a Carrera GT. Probably overly orgasmic-ecstatic. LOL
My CGT just arrived today. I love it for the engineering masterpiece it is. Who could not love it? But as most super cars, it is not something you can appreciate everyday. The 458 is the best all around car In my opinion. If I could only have one car, it would be the 458. Its a Good thing I can have a few more.
