The Porsche is a lil less money than a 348.

What would you get if you had to choose between these 2 cars ?

This one below is for sale in the autotrader this week.




That particular ferrari is a real lemon. Stay away from it. Try finding a newer model Testorrosa [sic] or a 328 both are more realiable.
If you HAVE to choose between the two get the porche. It doesn't have the same prestige but its is earier to maintain and can be used all year round.
Have you thought about getting a Supra or an NSX instead?

Porsche all the way. That's my fave one. Just like the first Bad Boys. Has that wide rear and reminds me of a sexy woman with a fat ***.

I love Ferrari, but I'm really not feeling that model. There's a bodyshop down the street from my office and the owner's got a mint 948, just like Magnum PI days. Thing sounds amazing.

PS: What do you do exactly? Just curious to see how you guys can grab such nice rides. Always looking at new ventures to raise capital.

ummm...ok...youre kidding right??? Youre telling me Porsche is a better car than Ferrari...Superior??? You have to be shitting me!!! The reason more Porsches are on the road is because their pricing is lower than that of a Ferrari...Youre telling me the majority of the people out there would choose the top of the line Porsche over the top of the line Ferrari?? I highly doubt that!!
Ferrari is a LEGACY!!

Carrera GT vs. Enzo...yeah right

After enjoying two Porsche's in my lifetime I can say that there really isn't a choice..

Just watch out for maintenence items...

Those parts from GMBH land cost mucho dollaroes..

I got a good Porsche mechanic too if you need..

I'd rather have a top of the line Porsche over a mediocre Ferrari. Who gives a **** how many heads snap as you drive by?? or how many Porsches are in town? If you are shopping for prestige, well, the fact you are buying USED would say you are not shopping for prestige, right? Which leaves performance... which the Porsche has plenty of.

If i where you id just buy a used NSX or Supra like the guy above said............alot less headaches and way more reliablity. The NSX on a road course should be as fast if not faster than both these, looks just as good and can be had for less....reliabity of a civic. In terms of potential these cars dont compare to the mk1V 2JZ supra............900 Hp on stock block.
Why are you buying a car like this dude.........your what 25? If u want a track car throw 10gs into a motor and suspension for the red crx..........save the rest for another 5 or 10 years and get a new Ferrari

Rob......How you afford all these cars....I thought you worked at Honda?

i have been lucky to be in many high end performance vehicles...and in terms of drivability .....performance....servicability and over all cost I would go with the Porsche hands down.......

the ferrari would be fun but it would kill you in the long run


Just my 7 cents

I think he's sales at Sisley Honda, no? I'm not concerned about how you can afford the cars, but rather the maintenance and the INSURANCE afterward?

Let's hope that you're over 25 otherwise you may as well hand your *** over to the insurance companies on a silver platter.

btw, I say PORSCHE!! Hope you manage to sort out your "difficult" decision.
