Last time I visited my friend's collection in NYC was with ‪@Shmee150‬ in 2019 while traveling around the country with him in his Ford GT. Going back to hang out with my friend has been long overdue and he has since added 2 new cars to his collection which I have been really looking forward to seeing.
Last weekend the weather couldn't have been better so we took the opportunity to drive 2 of his cars to lunch at Americana Manhasset in Long Island. Even though the Lizard Green 991.2 GT3 RS is one of his new acquisitions I thought it would be really fun taking out the 2 twin turbo cars both in similar specifications. The Paint To Sample Porsche GT2 RS in Golf Blue is supposedly only 1 of 4 in that color and is the only one that is not a Weissach package car. Than there is the Ferrari 488 Pista in TDF Blue with a fully bespoke spec with one of the most beautiful interiors I have seen on a Pista.
Unfortunately Long Island can be a massive headache with traffic which is exactly what we experienced on our way to lunch. It was still a treat driving the GT2 RS regardless of how much traffic there was. When we swapped keys I could almost immediately tell I prefer driving the 488 Pista. The GT2 RS feels much more planted and precise which is something I would rather have 9 times out of 10 from a car, but the Pista seems to warp time and space with how quickly you are reaching triple digit speeds all while spinning the tires in the lower gears. I love how the rear of the Pista dances around when you start to bury your foot into the throttle!
A very special thank you to my friend for inviting me to come see his new cars and take some out for a drive! I'm looking forward to heading back and taking out the Porsche GT3 RS and another Ferrari next time.
Thanks for watching, I really hope you enjoyed the video!
