Help! Which car to get rid of???

After 2 years, I finally broke down and got a Ford!!! Had to park the GT3 outside and believe it or not, the GT3 never went off by itself and 2 hours after I parked it outside, it went off!!! Was it crying to get back into the garage. I think it has a soul. But soul or not, w/ the 997 GT3 and GT3RS just around the corner. It may have to go. But it is still my favorite car for driving in all conditions. The Lotus is great handling but hotter than hell (literally) in hot summer days. Ferrari is just a GT and slow in its reflexes. Well, Lotus and GT are new, so either the F355 Sypder or the GT3 must go. Help me out guys, which one should I get rid of for now??? What would you do?

Only logical answer would be to get rid of the 996GT3 and get a 997GT3

OR
just get rid of the 355.

I honestly don't see much a reason to have the 355 in the first place.

im obviously a little biased but i think its one of the best looking modern ferraris ever. it is no doubt going to be a classic in the annals of ferrari design.

It will be harder to find a well sorted 355 in the future then a 996 GT3

I have always loved the 355. I'd say since the 997 GT3 is coming it really does make the most sense to drop the GT3 you have.

Exactly, 355's are awesome, why keep a 996gt3 and then get a newer improved gt3. Even if the 996gt3 does one or a few things better, they are both almost identical cars!

Sell the GT3 if you are getting a new one. Otherwise sell the F355

Thank you everyone for your inputs. It really is so hrad to decide which car to get rid of; the F355 is the best looking contemprary Ferrari in my eyes and is great for cruising w/ the top down. The cabin is so quiet and calm at 100 MPH that it puts other cars without a roof to shame when it cames to topless driving fun. On the other hand, I LOVE the GT3, it is so immediate and the built quality is second to none, its brakes, its engine, and its steering work so perfectly together, and then there is the smell of the natural leather which smells better than any perfume if its not worned on a hot chick.
So after many sleepless nights, I've decided to put the 3 up for sale and get in line for the RS w/ the PDK when it comes out. I'll be Porscheless for the time being but don't know if I can handle the Pcar withdrawal symtoms...

as long as you promise to replace the GT3 with another GT3 sooner or later(it can be a 997) then I will forgive you . Good luck with the sale bro and I am sure the wait until the new one comes in will be very very hard.

bye bye GT3, 355 is classic in my eyes, I think the 355 is more of a joy to get in once and while compared to the GT3.
