I vote for the 360 for now and pick up a used 997TT in a few years when the price drop and mods are readily available.

Vincent,
I agree and am moving quickly in that direction. May even have pics soon!
I'll keep the 996tt and wait a few years for the 997. Why do I have to have this habit?

It is a sickness, we are all infected with it. The only cure I am aware of is to continue to buy new cars & mods.

when you can't decide, have them all. lol
i would go with the 360 if it's more of a weekend car.
if more of a daily driver then go with the 997tt. the 360 you can't take it to grocery etc. It's too high profile of a car and attracts way too much attention.

After all they say that the Porsche turbos are the exotics you can live with.

Combine the money and get one car... Carrera GT. You'll get the best of both worlds.

Two very different cars. I would take the turbo I think. Easier to drive, makes for a daily driver, easier to maintain and more practical.

I agree with going for the 360 while you can and then getting the 997T later on once the hype has decreased... You can enjoy a Ferrari while waiting for the right time to switch to a 997T (and i would actually trade in your 996T for the 997T.) If you can afford to experience the Ferrari, you should do it.

I've got a friend in miami beach with an '04 360 spider and a 997S (with some mods), the difference it huge and the Ferrari is just more of a thrill...
