agreed Ferrari and Porsche market rival pairings are as follows:

F348 Berlinetta - 964 Turbo
F355 Berlinetta - 993 Turbo
F360 Coupe - 996 Turbo
F360 Stradale - 996 GT2
F430 Coupe - 997 Turbo
F430 Scuderia - 997 GT2
458 Italia - GT2RS and upcoming 991 chassis

Nothing - upcoming 918 Supercar

LOL just added that last one for fun, I'm sure Ferrari will come up with a rival... without Ferrari Porsche doesn't get better and vice versa...they need each other to push each other to further push the envelope! Both two excellent car makers indeed!

Thanks So Much! I've seen all the Top Gear and I never saw it! I really appreciate it. I love mine too. I'm waiting for the carbon spoiler front and back and the carbon air intakes too! Can't wait!

Clarkson is a P-car hater, thus I am sure it pained him to say what he did. You can find numerous sources that mark the 996TT as the best supercar of all time. As cars continue to get more sophisticated (sequential boxes, etc), more and more of the raw driving pleasure is evaporating. I feel the 996TT hits the spot nicely.
