+1 I've never been a fan of the 8-cylinder Ferrari sound. Now a 12-cylinder with Weber carbs, THAT'S a great noise

Michael 996TT is infamous around these parts
Do not forget maintenance - and I mean huge difference in cost for F- car vs P-car - had some owners @ Ferrari of Washington tell me I was totally crazy to think a 360 or 430 were dailey drivers compaired to 996tt. And yes my modded 996tt is much faster. Of course the Ferrari has a much more sexy look - so do blonde bimbos - arm candy is fun until you have a real world issue, then YOUR wallet has to come out. Your decision .... it's hard when the grass looks greener !!! I stayed w/ my P-car ... bought some GT3 seats and it cured my itch to try that spray painted green grass.

360 with tubi does sound better then a 996TT in my opinion... power wise, it the 360 feels fast when you get the RPMs up

I used to be a Ferrari's fan.

I have driven both the TT and 360. The TT is much faster and the 360 has not ball. I think the 360 is just a poser car.

They are both so different. Ferrari's give a great feel and driving experience, but the 360 is SLOW!

If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, water your grass!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input. I took the tt out last night and pushed her pretty hard. With the new wastegate springs, it slams to 1.3 Bar, backs down to 1.2 and just friggin screams into triple digits. I agree that power would be sincerely missed. I'm keeping the Turbo and will add a F430+(?) a little later.

Keep the Turbo, forget about the 430 and buy a 360 Stradale. Best of both worlds.

Really? I know the stradale is one hell of a car, but why do you think its better than the F430? is it a better price?
thanks

I just picked one up for a buddy for $190k. I prefer it over a 430 myself. (But then again I drive a GT3 daily). They can be had in the high $170's to low $200's depending on color mileage etc. Let me know if I can help you find something.
