Buy a Daytona coupe, use it to drive from residence A to residence B. Anything left over will pay for your legal defence.

Yes very expensive indeed, after driving mine as a daily driver for 5 years and more than $30,000 in service records and keeping it perfect I still think is a great car and more desiring to own than many other cars or Ferraris as a matter of fact, but when you have the devastating performance of a 996 Turbo anytime for "no maintenance" at any second any time you want, then there is an option to buy a 996 turbo over a slow to comparison Testarossa. But since I know both cars very well I still feel like buying a Testarossa all over again, but not because there are a lot of Porsches around, but because I like the Ferrari better. Porsches have to be taken a step closer to full out to then feel what the car is all about and it is a very special thing, but if one is a poser the Porsche will let you down because it will feel boring where a poser Ferrari owner will enjoy the Ferrari even if standing still or at idle. Im not calling you a poser by the way, just saying my point of view. The Porsche 996 Turbo is a superior car than the Testarossa but the heart might feel Ferrari all the way while the mind will many times just ask, why?
And there is no logical answer maybe like the old slogan says, Ferrari one word says it all... and Porsche there is no substitute... and I think in their own ways they are both right.

Dear Ferraristi,

Hey ! who are you calling a poser? Freeze....Miami Vice !

Of course that's the reason I have a Testarossa. I wanted something showy and flashy. Gotta have some fun beyond the logic of investments and business. ....yes, I drive the car as a daily driver and have the bills to prove it! About Porsches, I still belong to the Porsche club of America as I've owned every kind since I was a kid. BUT....I really feel the newer ones feel like a Honda.....techinically perfect but no "feel"

BTW, many cars are faster than a Ferrari...but I think we buy them for more than that.

If the choice was between a 360 or Testarossa, the 360 just wins. However if it's between a 360 and a 512TR. Id go with the prettier more headturning model - 512TR. So save ur money and plump for it. Ignore the few people who claim the 512 is a dated model in terms of looks, because they're wrong. Just check out the Gallardo and Murcielago - the lines/edges are sharper than the 512, just like the 80's Countach.

Read again so you might understand what I mean and I didn't call you a poser. I am a fan of the 911s and Ferraris and I am with you about why a person would choose a Ferrari over a 996TT but I also have a logical side in my brain about it. As a matter of fact I am thinking of selling the 996TT to get a 360 in the near future since I think I don't want to wait and then to invest on the 430 anymore and rather buy a barely use 360.

Dear Ferraristi,

Dear Testacojones,

My answer was really "tougue-in-cheek"... not serious. I enjoy the non-serious banter.

It's all in fun !
