Plus, I honestly think a daily should not exceed a certain amount of value due to the higher risk like where to park, curbed wheels, etc.

So, I want to take a different route next year. I'm entertaining getting rid of the M4, getting a garage queen, and getting a different daily. The garage queen would be between the two cars in the title. They’re totally different cars, yes, but they're floating in that $85k-$110k range depending on spec, miles, etc. I feel like the R8 V10 has seen its value bottom out for the most part, so the price should steady out since it's one of the last manual V10s. I’ll add that I do not like the new body style. Then you have the GT4 which is a completely different car.

Obviously, when the time is near, the best thing to do is drive both. Until then, my question is, which do you think would be the better of these the two? I'm curious what your thoughts are!

(Also, I'm not too versed in the Porsche world so when I was researching it was crazy to see the current 718 GTS is a 4 cyl! )

Keep in mind that the GT4 is not particularly fast. It's a dynamic car with a flawless shifter, immediate steering and it sounds great.

I think a GT4 is a very nice compliment if you already have a really fast car. Otherwise, you may miss that sensation of thrust.
