Good question!

I was going to get a 2002 911 Turbo, test drove it and loved it! But I always wanted to upgrade to a Ferrari and drove a 355 and I couldn't think of anything else.

I just pulled the trigger on one yesterday! Waiting to get a PPI done on it this week and if it passes then I guess I own it.

Hehe, i'm the one that posted awhile back about my bro's lambo murci, he wants a Ferrari 360 spyder to add to his collection now!

I'd prolly get another cab, but it'll be the turbo version.

I plan to keep the 4S and have spousal approval to purchase an F-Car in the next year or so! I'm currently doing a lot of homework, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to get a F355. An acquaintance has one and has agreed to let me drive it at the beginning of may. I can't wait!

If I were to add a car today, I'd probably pick up a 997TT and keep the 996 & 986.

Then again my answer will probably change tomorrow.

I know I know, but I can't own both, so I can't decide. Obiously leaning toward a 997S but an M5 gives so much car. I guess I needa go drive one.

I think I'll keep working my way up to a Twin turbo. The feel and look are so marvelous. We also have the Benz E 4-matic Wagon for hauling the kids, gear and skiing etc..

A great sedan is a beautiful pleasure but a completely different vehicle for another purpose. Like the city house and country house....it nice to have both.

I'll be happy with a 997 or a 997S. The S would be great, but I would be very very happy with the base model.

I plan on keeping the C4S and adding a new car in about 3-4 years. Tossed up between a 997 GT3, 987 Boxster S with a 3.8 X51 conversion with a supercharger and a 997 TT Cab.

Great question. Base model 2005 997 in silver on black with my own gradual customizations. If I win the lottery then maybe that yellow Ferrari at the top of the page...
