Vegas Baby! - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I'm going to Vegas in a couple of weeks and I will be needing a rental car. I have narrowed it down to 3 choices. Please vote and justify your answers.

F355 - Cool but slightly older, plus I've done that one once before (and a bit pricey)
SRT/10 - I'm leaning towards this
996 - The obvious choice on a Porsche board

Embrace the raw "go forward" power of the SRT/10! Only downside is when you get home, you better find some twisties quickly to recapture the genius of the Boxster.

Can't go wrong with Italian.

I live in vegas -- the vipers out here are looked at as somewhat ghetto. even though they are not, i dont think they are in the same catagory as the others. But the one that stands out and turns heads on the strip is the Ferrari. You cannot go wrong with Italian.

Besides, Ferrari's have a great new home in the Wynn Las Vegas -- which is the most popular place on the strip right now. A 355 is old, but still outshines the 996 and certainly ANY offering from dodge.

I'll take the 355. I've already got a porsche in the garage. And the vipers have lost all eye appeal lately. I'm not sure where there going w/ the design but for me its not working. Besides how many chances do you get to drive a ferrari.

If you want to feel power get the Viper. If you want the exotic/once in a lifetime feeling get the Ferrari. If you want to save money or fit more than 2 people (uncomfortably), get the Porsche. I would recommend the Porsche to most people but not a Boxster owner... it won't be anything special to you. I would personally get the Ferrari.

996 Cab is for Britney Federline. Just kidding, but I really think coupes that have been chopped are not kosher. Ditto for the M3 Cab.
Which came first the 355 spyder or the Berlinetta?

Ferraris are the ultimate head turners. Its physically impossible to not watch it drive past if you are female.

Vipers maybe on the track (they did well at LeMans a few years back), but
not in Vegas.
