Not yet, but that's my "other" dream car. I'm working on it!

I would probably get the spyder, since the entire point of getting a ferrari would be the attention that it would generate, and the spyder would only enhance that.

I have a friend with both a 96 C4S and a 360 spider. He almost never drives the Porsche anymore and may sell it. I've driven both, and I love Porsches, but the red car is an EVENT every time you drive it. You can't compare them pricewise, but the 360 feels like a F1 car compared to the Porsche. Of course, for 3 or 4 times the cost it should!

With all due respect, if that's all you want a Ferrari for, just get a Testarossa and save a lot of money. Raise that big engine cover over the 12 banger and gawkers will come a-runnin. That may be the best looking engine compartment around.

To me, the main appeal of a Ferrari is the engine and the sound it makes, and the way it feels like you're going 60 when you're going twice that speed.

NICE!!!!

An angle you can't see from the pic is down inside at the rear. There's a bunch of welded tubes that look like a LeMans racer!

Both are sweet cars. Btw, I was looking at the testarossa as well. I can relive those "Miami Vice" memories..

As long as you don't relive any fake-Daytona-Spider-cobbled-from-a-Corvette memories.

imo ferraris have a carnal appeal.....something ache'n with lust, raw, wild that just gets your heart racing just standing near one. where a porsche is more refined....intellegent. i only wish i had the means to have both...someday.... someone posted a while back: "i cant wait for my midlife crisis"....me too!!

(pigforbill i agree w/ you on the engine.....a ferrari from 4k to redline is one of the most beautiful sounds!!)
