what would be the better choice?

I have my 997 tt 6speed, red with black interior, champion suspension, champion air box, tubi exhaust system, giac ECU and champion wheels, but i have the option to change it for a Ferrari 360 modena Novitec twin supercharger with 6000 in the odo, my car has 5700 in the odo, i love my 997 and is a bullet but the Ferrari is faster and a very good looking, what do you guys think...

360 is old news. Up keep on the F car will kill ya. If it was a 430 I would do it in a heart beat. No way in hell for the 360.

360 maintenance is expensive. Def NOT a DD if that makes a difference. I'd keep the TT, at least it has a bulletproof engine and your champion upgrades are first rate.

I have somewhat of a similar car to yours and I would not trade it for a 360 at all . If "faster" is important why not upgrade to 700 Hp . With your current setup you are well on the way .

Definitely keep the TT. The 360 is a little outdated now, and as others mentioned, maintenance is really expensive.

ferrari is the better looker... but as other members said.. its expensive for repairs & service... and it might be hard to sell when your done with it.. I think a modified porsche is easier to sell then a modified ferrari

I personally would keep the 997TT.
Would this Novitec 360 be in Miami?

Had a Ferrari, won't have another! Loved it while it ran right, but ultimately it proved to be a pain in the ***. It rode like a frickn truck and I was always paranoid about leaving it anywhere. Keep the Turbo

i would definitely stick with the turbo. The f360 is old news and just looks sad and old next to an f430. Also, how long do you think the f360 supercharged engine will really last? the turbo will be good for 200,000 miles. you know you are getting durability when you buy a porsche. I personally think the turbo looks better then the 360...now the f430 thats a different question

keep the turbo no question. A 430 Scud that would be different..but not a franken-360 no way.
