For $300k I would expect my sports car to weigh less than 2-tons. Styling is very aggressive and definitely out there.
The 599GTB is much more appealing to me for this kind of money.
Also, the person that said we're "magazine racing" - what else are we going to do? I can't afford $400k for two cars to compare and contrast them. I'm sure no one else on this thread could either.
