997 Turbo S or Ferrari California?

I get an chance to choose between one of these. They are both great car

and easy to live with. Ignore the price differences, which one would you go for?

I know it might not be appropriate to ask this question on a porsche

dominated forum, but I do want to hear you guys' thoughts


Cheers

You are right....most of us are biased but when you think logically why would you ever bother with the california?

porsche for sure, plus it faster then the cali. not really saying anything by this but i have noticed that many females want the cali to drive for themselves lol i dont think its a "womens car" but i guess it has that appeal. 997 Turbo S is a monster super car, in a different category is my opinion. Ferrari makes amazing cars as well but a Porsche has my heart anyday

If you plan on keeping it for only a couple years, get the California. Otherwise, I'd stick with Porsche.

Do you even need a car in London?

I'm shocked the Cali got 6 votes. We must have more chicks on the forum than I thought.

Funny you say that because girls do look really good in ferraris (as the driver that is).

I find it's just something about the look of seeing a couple of attractive girls in an F car....its as if this is what these cars were really made for.
No offense intended to those guys with them but when guys are seen in them most people automatically think "you ******" yet when girls are in them its like...WOW!
