Personally I think its a waste to sell it. especially since (and I may be out of line for saying this) your never going to get north of 82k for it. Others are being offered for 65-75 with the same mods, so my best suggestion is to keep it and either get ready for the Ferrari OR the GT2.


Good luck on future ventures either way.
(IMO of course)

Yeah I know that is why it is priced where it is! I really don't want to sell it, I will probably just keep it. I really want the Ferrari but I would probably have to wait until I can add it to the fleet instead of replacing my turbo. I love my turbo and would probably be ticked at myself for selling it.

Have you driven a 355? They are pretty slow for 2007. Now that doesn't bother me much, hell my TT is still stock.......but it would drive you crazy.

which ferrari are you considering?

I would put the 355 on par with a early 90's corvette.

I am sure he's not getting a 355 if anything it would have to be a 430 or
a 04 360 ferrari challenge stradale. Good luck with what ever you choose.
But if it was me i would never sell that beast.

On F-chat he said 355 was the one.......

Now comparing a 380 hp legendary 355 to a 250 hp bucket of bolts C4 Corvette is just stupid

Rob,

I am probably not selling the car thank God I am a little more patient and less impulsive than 5 years ago or the Ferrari would already be in the garage.

I love my Porsche, I love my Porsche, I love my Porsche.

Ok I feel better now!

BUDDY!!!!!
Listen to me.... I SELL THESE things practically on a daily basis and IM Tellin ya... HOLD your horses on letting go of your little monster! YOU CAN NEVER EVER put a price tag on the amount.... countless hours of work yu've done. The amount of posts here.. cash invested, close calls with ...... fill in the blanks.... 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 ...
