Whatever you do, avoid the 355 Spider like a plague...
GTS or Berlinetta are fine but make sure the headers are aftermarket... |
One of my current projects is the MR2 ax/track car. I looked at 944s for quite a while, and loved them, but the MR2 should be able to take a better beating for less cost.

It's even got a V6 in it, so it's power to weight is actually pretty comparible. The fact that it looks smaller than the Boxster isn't just a camera perspective issue. The thing is noticeably shorter and lower than the Porsche. |
I'm going to take a "family" picture of your old Boxster, my old Supercharged MR2, and the Miata in my driveway together before the MR2 gets sold. :-)

man, I did not realize F-cars had so many issues for low mileage cars!!!!
maybe I will get a NSX next... |
When it comes to Ferraris the 355's call me like the Sirens of Titan, absolutely beautiful and best looking of the quasi modern F-Cars. The Lusso is still my personal unobtainium. A couple of friends have had Ferraris (Testarossa and a 360) and my neighbor has a "lowly" 328. After hearing their tales of woe (costs for maintenance / service or just parts even for DIY) I quickly discarded the notion of picking up one, way out of my league. They do look like pure sex though.

^I share the same sentiment... not in my league to own one at this point.
It's like having a really hot girlfriend/wife... most onlookers will be jealous of the guy, but nobody has a clue what he has to put up with. |

The pop-up headlights are a part of the allure for me...that and the 355 is just a beauty that'll never come back again. Same thing with the Corvettes. A little something was lost once the pop-ups went away for me...stupid mandates.

It's hard to recognize in pictures, and even in person, but the 355 is a much smaller car than the 360. It's 11 inches shorter! It's also 200 pounds ligher, dispite the move to an aluminum structure in the 360.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/F355_Berlinetta_in_Taipei.jpg It's 4 inches shorter, 4 inches lower, and 4 inches wider than the 986. With a wheelbase of 1 inch longer. |
