Am I nuts? Selling the Roma?

I can't even imagine the hit you're going to take on the Roma. If you're going to do it at least get the targa.

 

Not a huge fan of either car frankly. My guess is once the newness wears off you'll be looking for something else.

 

I canceled my 992.2 GTS cab order and bought a used Portofino with CPO. Previously owned a base 991.2, owning and driving a Ferrari is a completely different experience.

 

I have a 21 Roma acquired about 3 months ago, I have a 991.2 gts targa. If you are only a one car garage then I think the gts is a better daily.

 

I had a 24' GTS4 Targa in manual. Lots of fun, not too fast but a nice cruiser. I haven't driven a Roma so I dont know what it does well. My only issue with the Roma is that it is too similar looking to Astons and Jaguars.

 

Yes your nuts lol
Seems a quick car 0-62 in 3 secs flat . But it’s also going loose a bucket load from new by the time you’ve sold the Roma and then want to sell the 911 you’ll be £100k out of pocket
I’d say go with your heart you only live once

 

Nuts

 

Nuts
Keep the Ferrari.

 

Keep the Roma or swap out even to slightly ahead on a Portofino/Porto M for a more muscular or top down look.. I went from 911 turbo cab to California T and then to Portofino, will never go back to Porsche. In south Florida at least, seems every other car is a 911, it gets boring.If you track the car, the 911 is better, but most people don't live for that.

 

get an FF and do the ptu if it hasn't been done

 

You're going to take a big hit on the Roma sale. But if you are going to do it, get it done before the successor is revealed this summer.

 

monetary hit aside, have you ever driven a Porsche? Porsche do a lot correct. They handle incredibly well as thats the main focus. They look great and they feel well put together. However I will say my main complaint with Porsche is that unless you get a GT car, they start to get boring. its a bit of that situation where they do what they do so well, that it stops feeling special. I currently have a 718 Boxster GTS and while it's a great car, and really solid, it doesnt feel special.

Now I havnt driven a Roma, but I have driven a few other Ferrari's and they have all given me that special Ferrari buzz you get when driving one. I can only assume the Roma has that same buzz. The new 911 cars are amazing, really fast, really comfy and are amazing daily drivers. But I do wonder if you will miss how special feeling the Ferrari is.

 

I have a Cali and a 911 (992 C2). Love them both. Grew up dreaming about a 911. Got the 911 new custom spec. Loved and still love it.
Then drove a friend's Cali, fell in love with that too, waited two years to find the perfect (for me) spec Cali and bought it.
They are both in the garage, so could take any anytime (dd is an electric SUV).
Given the little time I have available, 9/10 times I go for the Cali (even if +10y older than the 911). Both are great cars, just that the Ferrari gives you a more special experience.
So for a weekend/occasion car, I would keep the Roma. Only reasons I'd see for switching would be: for a daily driver the 911 would attract less attention and you'd worry less about leaving it parked around town.

 

I don't think I could daily my Roma, coming from mostly 911s I still find the front lip to be hard to place in a parking spot...and the shifting and electronics are just less convenient than the 911s

but now when I go for a weekend trip or day trip I grab the keys to the Roma
