If the Aventador was an option, the others wouldn't even be an option to me.
The Audi wasn't that spectacular to me. I've driven the V8 and V10 versions. The V8 was a total waste of money IMO. It was still very cool but felt way underpowered for the price. The V10 makes up for that but it was still lackluster. The Porsche is a machine. I've got to drive a 911 Turbo and GT3. I'd pick the Turbo hands down. It is an absolute beast. It's just almost too easy to drive. It truly is the car you could drive everyday like it's nothing and then tear people up on track day.
The Ferrari is well...a Ferrari. I've driven a 360 and 430. Both were a total out of body experience for me. The noise, feel, ...well everything is overwhelming. There is something about the pedigree of Ferrari that is unexplainable till you drive one. It would be very hard to say no to the 458.

Spot on. Couldn't agree more especially on your Porsche and Ferrari comments.
I think Porsche's are the most UNDER appreciated sports cars out there and I can somewhat understand why considering they have slowly evolved with the way they look compared to other cars they do complete overhauls all the time. But that is not Porsche's way. They continually keep improving on what they have been doing all along and it works. A 911 turbo or GT3 is a refined race car for the street with street car manners. Insanely well balanced and a absolute dream to drive. But for some people, they don't give enough of that visceral angry supercar feel with a Porsche.
Ferrari just has the formula down. It doesn't get any better than that.
But like Josh said, it's just something you cannot understand until you have a Porsche/Ferrari expierence firsthand.
