I don't own a GT2 but I'd take the Fiat any day.
No, it's not contemporary, but it is classic.
No, it doesn't handle well or is all that fast, but how hard are you going to drive it?
No, it's not particularly reliable, but how many miles are you going to put on it?
Yes, the P-Car will way cheaper to maintain per mile.

F-car for the boulevard, Gt2 for the track. That's what I say.

I love F cars. But before you buy one check out Eugenio's Ferrari Service website for maintenance costs. Talk about the cost of ownership, it will give you a reality check.

If you can afford the maintenance then go for it. You can always sell it if you get bored and buy a GT2 once again. TR much better than the regular Testarossa.

I wouldn't do it. The GT2 is a much better car and I think the maintenance on a Fcar is a lot more.

Have you ever driven one of those things? I have, hideous creations, unless you have the physique of a chimpanzee, steering wheel and pedals not lined up, awkward gearbox, crap visibility and not that fast! Dont do it...

Reliablility aside....if I owned a gt2, I'd feel like I own a benchmark. Whereas with a testarossa, I dont know...saw one the other day, and it looks pretty outdated. Just IMO, I would never do that trade. If I was nuts, maybe a 355, it looks less outdated.

F40 (not realistic in most budgets), or a 430 but jeez, please no lamo
Testarossa. That is a serious Posuer car (and yes I have driven one).

GT2 is timeless, classic and nasty. Keep it!

DO NOT under any circumstances trade your GT2 for that car.

I really like F-cars, but the Testarossa is about the ugliest car Ferrari has ever made. If you want to make the move to Ferrari, trade for a 360. At least you get awesome looks. My favorite ferrari of all time is the 430. But since I like to drive, I don't know that I will ever own a ferrari.

ferrari's are great to drive and be seen in, but they are expensive to maintain & repair... if its a weekend car only then go for it

I say go for it. If you have such a question,
you might truly be happier with the Ferrari.
