    the only problem with a 355B is that they DON'T sale for $50,000-55,000 which is my budget.

    aren't they, more like 65K ??

    I do LOVE the looks of a 348 with 355 wheels though, (Huskers cars)

    Perry,

    Let me know when you're ready to sell the 308. I'll take it off your hands. Love my Mondial QV, but I want a 308 QV to take it's place.

    My first Ferrari ws a 328GTS and I loved it at first. Then I bought a 400GT 5 speed . It was after I had the 400GT that I became disappointed with the 328, which I subsequently got rid of because I never drove it. Even though the 328 looked better, the wail of the V12 in the 400 was too much to resist when I went out to the garage for a drive. Once you have a 12, an 8 will never do.

    besides the sound and more torque whats the big deal with 12's ?


    I'd take 328 with a tubi over a stock 12 TR anyday, if I was just going on sound.

    What else is there to like about an engine other than sound and torque? Oh yea, the 12s look much better too! Drive a few and your questions will be answered. If I had a $50k budget I would be looking at the TRs and 2+2 V12s and hope for a C4 in that range. Otherwise, I would save more to get a Boxer.

    A stock TR (much like a stock 360) is way too quiet for me.

    You are comparing a 328 with a Tubi to a stock TR though - A stock 328 doesn't sound all that great either - Until they hit the higher RPM's.

    A 328 with a Tubi vs a TR with a Tubi sounds better at low RPM in my opinion. I like the sound of the TR better once you get moving at speed.

    Brent who I mentioned in my original post also put the 355 wheels on his 348 - A big improvement in my mind!

    I love the subtle, flowing looks of the 308/328, but the over the top looks of the TR is what I fell in love with as a kid 17 years ago. :)

    I'll agree with that! After looking at the 12 in Frank's Boxer (or any Lamborghini), the V-8 in my car looks like a lawnmower engine by comparison.

    so basically we are saying that a 328 would not be worth the extra $$ but a 348 or a TR would, then just down to personal preference?

    Exactly!

    Total personal preference if the 348 or TR is more for you.

    I've had a 328GTS, 348 Spider and TR and the TR was much more fun by a large margin.
