Good morning All!
I know there’s probably some opinions here on these two :)
If you were choosing between these two.....which would you?
Assume:
1. the F car needs no maintenance other than possible fluids for two years
2. the Porsche is certified
3. Keeping either one 2-4 years

A. Late model Porsche 911...year 15-17 ish (certified)
B. Ferrari 360....year 02-04 ish (all up to date, records complete, etc....)

Thank you as always:)

Not an expert, but if the F car needs any service I suspect it's big ticket. I'd probably go Porsche largely based on age and maintenance costs.

SearChart · 28 July 2018, 10:11 PM

I'll take any Porsche over a Ferrari.

superdog · 28 July 2018, 10:20 PM

I love the 911. It’s just gorgeous and clearly the leader of its pack.

But the Ferrari is in a different pack altogether. And imho, way more special. IMHO, it’s hard to even compare these two.

I would take the Ferrari without a moments hesitation.

V25V · 28 July 2018, 11:49 PM

Ferrari. Porsche is great but they are everywhere, F car will be special. Yeah, you will pay more for service but as long as you know and accept that going in, I think you would enjoy the experience much more.

Probably would pick the Porsche as would be a newer car with better safety features and gadgets versus the older Ferrari

I would go Ferrari but with my eyes open with regards maintenance costs. Fabulous cars.

Both cars are amazing,but Porsche will have less/cheaper maintenance cost. Good luck with your choice Richard.

Beautiful car Nick.

Etschell · 29 July 2018, 12:08 AM

r10 instead.

FTX I · 29 July 2018, 12:08 AM

I voted Porsche but if you were considering the F430 it would be different.

Wahlberg · 29 July 2018, 12:16 AM

Drive both and see what makes you smile the most.

I would go with the Porsche to be honest or you have to find a really nice and clean 360.

To the OP.
Drive them both. Your heart will tell you. If you just gotta scratch that Ferrari itch, you just gotta.
And knowing an indie mechanic is a big plus.
I have a 458 but do respect Porsche.

I'm a porsche guy, I dont give a ... about any ferrari, except for maybe some vintage 250 models.

G8RDPM · 29 July 2018, 12:34 AM

No wrong decision here.
Drive them both.
911 Turbo for me!

greggsiam · 29 July 2018, 12:45 AM

Do you plan on driving either one often? If so, I would suggest the Porsche. They are meant to be driven daily and require little maintenance other than oil changes, valve adjustment, and brakes.

Like others said, you need to drive both and see what you want.

Grnvette65 · 29 July 2018, 01:27 AM

Week end use/ special occasion would be ferrari. Daily, the Porsche would be better. Ferrari can handle the daily driver bit but will take a big beating if high miles compared to its peers when you sell it.

Spam16v · 29 July 2018, 01:38 AM

I was an Audi & Porsche master tech in a past career and have worked on both having been in the independent and dealership environment as well as a business owner. I would lean P-car pretty heavily. Touch more vanilla but higher probably of smooth sailing from an ownership perspective depending on model/year selection than a 360 especially an F1 box and associated service costs and logistics of having one cared for given how old they are getting.

Wesley Crusher · 29 July 2018, 01:54 AM

What kind of 911 are we talking about? A base 911, GT3?

I'd pick a 360 over a base 911 or 911s, but not a GT2/GT3.

Chiboy · 29 July 2018, 01:58 AM

I agree with a lot of the recent comments. If you are going to use the car daily or often, the 911 is much more practical. I daily drive a 991 Cab and absolutely love it. I don't put a lot of miles on it, but it is rock solid. I've had it almost five years. I've never had a Ferrari, and likely never will, but think they are gorgeous and sound great. But I get the impression that they are pretty finicky and certainly attract a lot more attention. So you have to like (or be ok with) that.

CoveWatch · 29 July 2018, 02:01 AM

I’d go with the Porsche here as I love that car! Good luck!

Bigblu10 · 29 July 2018, 02:02 AM

Ferrari. If I had the coin, which I don't!

Thank you all for the advice

I guess I should’ve mentioned....this would be a weekend/fun car. Maybe driven couple thousand miles a year.
Gorgeous car Nick!!

Ok Richard let me then visualize it: Vintage Daytona on a “vintage” Ferrari as a weekend warrior

vs

Vintage Daytona on a newer Porsche as a weekend warrior

Ferrari then!

Chewbacca · 29 July 2018, 02:24 AM

Of your choices, the Porsche.

But if it’s a weekender, take your $70k and go Barrett Jackson and buy a better fun weekend car that’ll appreciate and have a great story behind it.

codecow · 29 July 2018, 02:30 AM

I faced this same decision ~5 years ago and went 911. I had a 911S at the time and was discussing with a guy who owns a lot of vehicles including exotics and he said I would hate the 360 mainly because it would be broken a lot/unreliable and expensive to maintain.

SG56 · 29 July 2018, 02:35 AM

I'm biased, but I'd take the 911

I'll just leave this here...
