is Miami blue similar to YAS?

In terms of the RS, I like the touring without the wing.

I think Miami Blue is brighter, flashier.
Yup, Touring is just perfect.

Sure, almost no one orders these as strippers but you're talking a $57k starting difference. It's asinine to say it costs less than a GTB.

And before we get started on the markup conversations, the GT3 RS CAN be had at MSRP albeit difficulty. But let's say hypothetically you can't find one for MSRP...the average markup is about $25k right now. Which is still $32k less than the starting point of a 488. Those aren't subjective figures, that's coming from months of tracking the market looking to possibly make a purchase.

I'm not arguing that I wouldn't take the 488 over the GT3, but at least use correct facts and figures.
Please let me know where you can find a GT3 RS for under 200 and I'll be the first in line..

The ADM on them is like 45k and they are spec'd to about 215-220 so are you are talking about 250-260 when all is said and done..

Miami blue has much more green it, basically a form of teal. It's much more vibrant than ymb which is more pastel.

Go on the configurator and build one. It's not hard to build a decent spec for $200k or below. Even with premium paint, extended leather, front lift, etc.

Most dealers are asking for $45k ADMs for allocations and settling closer to $25k. Spend some time on Rennlist and you'll see valid leads at $25k...granted they move fast.

A few leads for MSRP have been passed around but they move within a matter of hours.

Personally I feel Miami Blue looks good in photos but has more of a teal hint to it in person that ruins it

GT Silver is my all-time favorite, barring PTS.

I’ll take a GT2/3/4/RS touring or R over a 488, or 458 any day. The GT cars are much more fun to drive for me and better all around experience. I love the Porsche I’ve owned and currently own. I have considered Ferrari’s but GT Porsches are just better cars in my opinion. My friends who own both prefer the Porsche. YMMV, but just go look at EVO COTY results...

If you want more attention, sure buy the Ferrari.

I have driven, at length and in a spirited way, the Ferrari 458 and a 991.1 Turbo S Cab. The Turbo S was certainly faster off the line, but there was no comparison between it and thee Ferrari. It would not even be a decision I would have to think about. Ferrari all the way.

Currently working on obtaining funds to grab a nice 360. Cannot wait.

But you haven't like, driven a 991.2 GT3 RS and a 488?


Because I've driven a 488 and .2 GT3 non-RS, and I wholly disagree with your assessment. Also, it does not cost more than a 488.
There is always some Porsche fanboy that has to get all spun up

Lighten up, Francis.

A) My choice is the Ferrari and I think it's a better option. Doesn't make me or you wrong, we just have different opinions.

B) It is more expensive. You're gonna pay at least $290K for a GT3 RS. The 488 is about $260K and discounts are to be had these days.
Where? All USED 488s I've seen online are 280k+. Model years 2017-2018
