lurker turned member, very excited...

So I just picked up an '07 F430 coupe (wanted a spider but just tooo much money at this time )

OMG - what a ride ; I think I am hooked, I am very ecstatic (that is until something breaks)

Feeling is very tight and spunky like my 993. I do not care much about speed since I'm not racing anyone and there is no reason to go that fast around here even during spirited drives so yes "maybe" the Porsche is faster, but I can't tell .

I was worried that the fcar was going to feel heavy, not so IMO. I feel like I could toss it like the smaller car.

The sound is intoxicating, the looks of it and comments I've received are awesome...

I've had it for only one weekend so far and I hope it lasts (the feeling that is)

I'm keeping both the pcars for now but I'm thinking of letting the 993 go since the 996 is my daily driver. What to do....

Congrats!!!!
I would get rid on the 996 and keep the 993. 993 are staying the same and going up in value while the 996 is dropping. You have an R63, S8 and SRX for daily drivers.

You got them right now! Looks really well kept. Cool thing you are local, gotta come to one of our meets, check the cars out. If you plan on some mods for it, we do know a thing or two about Ferrari's

Jury still out on if I'm letting one of the p-cars go. Depends on wallet and senses. Right now neither are in reality so we shall see when I wake up.

I can see how pp can say ...haven't looked back. I am definitely feeling that way.
