Same here.

 

I'll take the GT2:

 

This is a fairytale but if they were both at MSRP I grab a SCUD.

They will be impossible to get so I d take the GT2

 

Porsche

 

+1

 

I would take the GT2...


but later some day I will get a ferrari...its a ferrari after all, but I wont until I own a GT2, I have a plan

 

Scud or 997 GT2... Hard decision, i think i'll take them both!

 

Free car with free maintanence than I'll take the Scud but if I've got to pay for maintaining the car than the GT2 for sure.

 

Scuderia is light years ahead!

 

You must by living in a time warp, no wonder they call you "old guy" ...

My 599 incurred 2000 miles in five months. My former 430 Coupe had 4800 miles on it when traded for the 08 430 Spider the latter which is only three weeks old and has 700 mile on it already. All flawless, problem free, miles. And I never break my F cars in. I drive them hard right out of the box.

My 997 GT3, well, I didn't get to drive that much because I got rid of it due to various chronic problems. My 996 GT2 was purchased back from Porsche on a lemon law claim (tried to work it out amicably first). My wife's Boxter was a joke in terms of reliability.

My 97 993 Turbo.... Bullet proof! Solid! My Speedster... Keeps on ticking. It's just a tough little f$cker. Porsche until '98: Glory years of a great company.

In sum, Porsche's reputation for quality is a sad remnant of what it was. And yet, on the other hand, Ferrari's reputation for quirky and shoddy build quality is a thing of the past. (The paint on F cars could be improved, but the cars are reliable for the most part, and they want to be driven hard!)

I'm taking delivery of a Scud in a few weeks from Lake Forest Sports Cars -- yellow, no silly stripe, yellow calipers, alcantara racing seats (large), yellow stitching, etc. Can't wait!

I will drive the snot out of that car. I would love to have a GT2 as well, but paying $50K over does not appeal to me, as that amount represents what it's going to cost to send my daughter to Notre Dame next year!

 

I'd take the farreri.

 

I am on here late but what exactly is the premise of the thread?
Are we comparing cosmetics or performance between the GT2 and Ferrari Scud?
IMO the GT2 will rip the lungs out of the Scud in performance measures.
The Porsche is infinitely more dependable than a Ferrari again IMO.

TheCreditMan you must be the unluckiest guy in the world regarding Porsches. Curious, what were the chronic problems with the 997 GT3 that you only had for a short time?

The comparison of the 997 GT3RS and the Scud is not a fair analysis but the GT2 is a whole different glass of water.

Cheers, GT3Ranger

 

Hey 'ol Power Ranger, slow down and read the thread! I am not the "unluckiest guy in the world regarding Porsches", as my other Porsches prove. I love Porsche and I've derived great pleasure from owning a few of them. Hell, I still root for McQueen's 917 to beat the Ferrari 512M in LeMans, but I won't blindly drink the Kool Aid like you do.

My GT3 had a leak which developed a week after taking delivery. It had a nasty, irritating creaking sound originating from the dash which baffled the dealer. And it had an ABS Warning Light Fault (which in fairness was quickly fixed).

By the way, what modern Ferrari ownership experience do you possess upon which you base your hyperbolic proclamations such as: Porsche is not just more reliable, it is "infinitely" more reliable than Ferrari! Infinitely!

 

Drive it-GT2
Put it in the living room and stare at it and NEVER go over 3000 EVER-Ferrari

 

Hey Old Guy, you already cast your opinion/vote! You must be a Texas Democrat!
