I have a Ferrari F8 and 458. I also have a 2023 Huracan Tecnica and a 992.1 GT3. The GT3 is by far the most pleasurable and accomplished car I've ever driven and it's bottom of the list in terms of BHP. It's just totally sublime to drive. The 458 comes next followed by the others in about equal place in terms of joy on the road and speed around a track.

That’s a tough choice. Of those the 981 S is probably the best car, but a 997.2 will hold its value best from this options. The best would be to try and arrange a few test drives to see which you like best from the driving experience as the 981 does drive a bit different from a 996 or 997.

ohhhh...the headlight explanation is not factual. Even though it is repeated constantly, it is just the opposite of what is believed. The GT1 race car got the headlight design from the 986 / 996, not the other way around. Look at the original GT1 in 1996, it had the 993 headlights and tail lights. Then the 1997 GT1 got the 996 / 986 headlights. Its a case of "tell the story enough, it becomes accepted."
