    I met Christopher Miele, the sales manager. He is a very pleasant individual and we had a very nice conversation about f-cars. He has a lot of years around Ferrari and racing in general. I was very excited to see the cars there and to know that such a dealership exists in my home state, New Jersey.

    There were two 360 Spyders, both 6-speeds and two 360 Modenas, one F1, one 6-speed on the showroom floor along with a bunch of Maseratis, one of which was the GranSport (that i got to sit in). The GranSport is a great looking car, certainly very sporty but I couldn't justify 112k at this stage of my life for one, when I know that I'll be buying a Porsche or F-car in the near future. They did have a demo Q-port near the service area, very nice as well. The service area had a bunch of 360s, including a Stradale, a TR and my personal favorite, a Red 355 Spyder.

    Anyway, I will continue to debate...Porsche Turbo or Ferrari and make my mind up over the winter. Right now I need to think about something else, after sitting in the GranSport and seeing a cluster of 360s, I'm not thinking straight. It's looking more and more like it will be a F-car...

    Glad to see that you saw the place. Sounds like you had fun.

    Now as for this Turbo Vs. F-Car debate, it totally depends which car you are looking for and your financial situation. The Turbo is an excellent car and is FAST!!! I love that car.

    Now as for the Ferrari, they are fast as well and look just as good but services can kill you depending on what F-car you are looking at. With the Porsche you have the option of an extended warranty if used or the warranty if new. Porsche's take A LOT! Either way they are both great cars but choose carefully.

    I have a Porsche Turbo cab and sold a Turbo coupe . They are fantastic cars that will smoke almost anything you encounter and can take a beating.

    My 360 however is just that much more fun!

    If you want a car that does it all and is "safer" for the wallet get a P-car if you want real excitement and want to live on the edge get the ferrari!

    Agree with Vernon... and I had a 993 Turbo S. Hot car, really bullet proof, but not nearly as fun as my F-car.

    I had a feeling that there would be a pro-ferrari movement in this forum. It's looking more and more like an f-car.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Just got back from FoCNJ a few minutes ago. Got an oil filter and one of the two washers needed. Will go back on Friday to pick up the other washer.

    The part prices were cheaper than I expected.

    I like it!
