    If you are praising me then thankyou

    I'm just pulling a leg or two

    All these great cars are great machines....car builders are made up of much talent...all of them.

    But I do adore my F355...."it never talks back...it's just a 4 wheeled friend now"

    I sit and stare at my 355
    I love touching her
    I'm a sicko

    Yes it is and still a work of art.

    I went close to a dozen times to buy a 458 but just can't do it, Car has all the tech of today but no soul

    Computer designed cars tend to be like that

    +1. The 458 is a work of art as well....but the automatic trany ruins the driving experience.

    It's defiantly one of the best of the jack-o-lantern looking modern cars. I want a newer car but just can't seem to find one that does it for me.
    The Mclaran 12C is pretty sweet at least it dont have 10 body lines to no where

    :)

    I had a 993 Carrera 2 for 4 years before getting the F355. Compared to the long-hood cars from the early 70's, the 993 felt quite sanitized and watered down when it came to the 'Porsche experience'. It was a nice car but too 'cosy' for the 911 experience I wanted. Maybe an RS conversion could have brought out more of its character.

    The F355 by comparison has character to spare. If anything, it over delivers (which is a welcome surprise) whereas I always felt the 993 slightly under delivered.

    In an ideal world it would be nice to have both; the 993 as a daily driver and the F355 for weekends and memorable trips. But with garage space at a premium, I am glad there is a mid-engine Italian sitting there waiting for me.
