my notes anything im missing?

PORSCHE 911 VS FORCEDFED LOTUS EXIGE




LOTUS EXIGE (FF)

PROS:

More exclusive rare and things looks nuts!!! though there might be ppl who copy my look but i doubt it in vancouver

Enzo fighter, the most fastest car ill proboly ever own

Turns a hell of a lot better then the porsche

cheaper initially

The most rawest driving experience ill ever have from the engine noise to the "SHOOO!" noise when i shift gears



CONS:

VOID WARRANTY ( though toyota makes sound engines and FF is a reptuable tuning co.)

Insanely fast meaning very dangerous and somewhat flimsy design compared to porsche

Not the best daily commuter too much attention and very rough ride have to get a second car

Depreciation is huge hit cuz most of the car is tuned ( upwards of about 40 thousand (can))

large initial down payment becuz of the mods making it about 50 thousand hit compared to a porsche i would
only put about 30 grand down

somwhat questionable build quality



PORSCHE 911 S or 911 GT3?


PROS:

Very balanced between sport and luxury refined sport car

Long warranty(no worries)

Good enough HP having too much is kinda silly

Car is pretty enough and wont attract as much attention to lets say a WIDE BODY LOTUS EXIGE!!!

I can still do my daily errands without feeling to much attention on me

very good car service from porsche

Still drives like a marvel

safer

not as big initial down payment

Beautiful interior

Fits four peoples!


Cons:

Not too crazy about the styling though it is a 911.

not sure if i want to keep a car like this for longer then 4 years( might lease )

proboly will want more HP outta my 911 after a year or two

911 sorta played out in my mind cuz i already have a boxster 987

not that exclusive owning a 911 S in two years wont give a huge wow factor cuz in the heart of vancouver
you'll see tons of turbos and gt3's making my car the poor mans 911...if theres is such a thing




*Not sure what car will cost more i have to do more research since i own a business so im sure i can write some of it off
if i were to lease but intially without mods the exige is half the price of the 911 making me write more off the 911
though even with 40G spent on mods to the elise runs up to 100G whereas the 911 is around 120 just for the S not too sure about the
GT3. I realy want the gt3 but i know its outta my range for now and proboly in the next 2 years.
