ALl this becomes you.... When you let go.... and end up with somehting as UN RELIABLE as either ferrari you are mentioning... YOU WILL WANT TO LOCK yourself in the garage and .....well .... you see where im going with this.....
YOU WILL REGRET IT.... I have NEVER EVER EVER had someone switch over to a ferrari and be happy about it.... OH yeah the sound and looks are great for the first 2 months... at most....but theY come back in to the dealership to see if their car is still there..... and I regretibly ahve to tell em how happy someone else is with their car....

THE LOOK OF DISBELIEF is scared in my brain!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT DO IT..........

I understand if you were getting a mclaren or zonda or some freakshow car...but a 355????????????? do yourself a favor and go rent one for a weekend... the 1-3 g's you'll blow on the weekend with it will be worth GOLD..... plus you dont want me to get into the reliability of the sucker.... and least of all the maintenance schedule of it.... and rock bottom the $$$$$$$$$$ to keep it that way......

YOUR PORSCHE is relatively cheap maintenance compared to the other choices you are making.... WITH ONE GREAT ADVANTAGE.... YOU would and can tear them a new............... (fill in the blanks here too...!)

You should put yoru car in the garage as mentioned before ... rent one of those sukers for a weekend....hang out with a friend thats got one.... maybe even trade for 2 weeks.....but letting go of soooo mcuh history and time and money and everyuthing else for something less?????

You'll regret it.... unless getting into something next level up.... of which you are clearly not!!!!!!!!

just my 0.02 pennies......lol... thats cents..... i know i know.... lame ...
Thanks for this response and you are right on. It is official I am keeping the RED BEAST!

Thanks I know I just had a little Ferrari virus and if I can add it to the Porsche I will but otherwise no dice.

Thanks again everyone for talking some sense into me!

Buddy G

Ps: RED BEAST forgive me for I know not what I do. You have been my faithful sidekick for 5 plus years we have been through so much I am very sorry for thinking of selling you. I love you!

Buddy,

I agree with everything DMaffo said and I would like to add that I look forward to meeting you some day at a Porsche event...

I test drove a F430 and was very tempted, but I am so pleased with the 996TT, I don't even care anymore. With 700 HP and PSM, you can't go wrong. It's very safe, reliable FUN!

Buddy, I had a 2005 F430 and sold it; to many trips to the dealership. But let me tell you, you would not be disappointed with an F430. It is not a daily driver car. I put 5000 miles on it and it was at the dealership 5 times.

Buddy,

As a fellow old timer from the board, I think you'd be making a big mistake in selling your car. You say yourself you'd not be happy selling it. One of the BEST moments in this site's history was your ordeal of getting back home in your car a few years back.

Whatever you decide, make sure you think it through long and hard my friend.
